How is this either Socialist or price fixing? The people were rioting to protest against planned tax hikes.

As @GaryBtrader stated, the exchange does publish an official closing price, a few minutes after RTH ends. I use NxCore which has a indicator that this is the official closing price. The only way that I know of to get the official closing price from IBkr is to do a reqHistoricalData request, but...

And I would also add that the exchanges also place limits on how much download data IBkr, or any other broker, can provide for free.

If the Webull API is working for you, what do you hope to gain by moving to IB? The coding effort is not insignificant.

Well said. Apple, NVDA and Microsoft are each bigger than all the Small Caps combined.

Pearson Correlation to IWM TLT 0.38 HYG 0.74 SPY 0.72 IJH 0.94

I don't understand why you think there should be any correlation between IWM (smallcap ETF) to TLT (Treasuries ETF).

Because everything in the IB API is asynchronous. In order to return the data as a Collection or Array, the IB API would have to suspend all other events until the the historical data is returned. In a typical IB API usage, with quotes, trades, etc., there are more than a hundred events...

A new ETF touts 100% downside protection. Here is how it works. https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20240502343/a-new-etf-touts-100-downside-protection-here-is-how-it-works

One reason that a company may pay a 1 cent dividend is so that can say "We have paid dividends for x consecutive years".

You are confusing 2 things. First you are confusing the Deficit (the amount the government spent minus the amount the government received, in the last year) with the Debt (the total of all the yearly deficits). Second when politicians say that they have reduced the deficit, you would naturally...

I would love to know why you are thinking of moving to Panama. Any trader or tax advantages?

The MAGS (Roundhill Magnificent Seven) ETF https://www.roundhillinvestments.com/etf/mags/

AAPL,AMD,AMZN,AVGO,COST,GOOGL,META,MSFT,NVDA,TSLA Those 10 comprise 49% of the Nasdaq index. Note that the symbol you want is GOOGL not GOOG (which are the non-voting shares). I am not sure why you don't just buy QQQ. Also, the MAGS ETF (Magnificent 7) has just the top 7 Nasdaq stocks.

Are you asking if you can have both a bid and ask outstanding on the same stock? As long as you have not lock-crossed the stock (i.e. where the bid price equals or exceeds the ask price), you certainly can, and IB does allow it.

Of course it makes sense. Otherwise any US citizen who made a windfall profit, could avoid all taxes by becoming an expat, selling the asset, then reapplying for US citizenship. The best way to avoid the taxes is to borrow money for living expenses, using the asset as collateral, and never...
