ok, but it's a little different focus than mine. Alternative possibility: Maybe payment occurs only when the traders on both sides have pass through relationships with their brokers? I have noted that IB doesn't always pay when you bought on the bid or sold at the ask. That could be...

Perhaps here is a partial answer: It would seem quite obvious brokers will prioritize exchanges like CBOE over NASDQ etc when it comes to removing liquidity. But when it comes to adding liquidity, it would seem your broker will priioritize NASDQ etc. over CBOE if there is no pass through...

Thank you. So what does happen?

I've been trading options for a long time, but for whatever reason don't know the answer to the following. If I am trying to buy at bid & I have a straight pass through arrangement with my broker, and the one who sells to me does not have an arrangment with his broker, does HIS broker suffer...

Are the fees basically all the same?

I forwarded this link to my brother & these are his comments: Thanks... Very intelligent and experienced people.

Thanks to each one of you. What about the possibility of establishing a relationship directly with the clearance firm (I saw this idea on Google)? Is there any such idea available without having to have millions?

I'm standing pre-live trading, concerned about games brokers or market makers play. I would imagine they are usually your counterparty and wrench the neck of their customers.

Am I the first one to come up with these issues?

Hello. I know some of you are very experienced forex traders, so I am seeking a little guidance. Can it be that your demo results will show you triple your money but in real live trading you lose money? What broker would you recommend to remove the issue of foul play of the broker, even...

Why do these cases so often settle for 10 cents on the dollar? If the case is great and the named plaintiff is determined, can it not go to court, and get a judgment for the full value? Thank you in advance.

How is it possible to identify who is the MM on a stock?

Let's say on the day a stock with a small float goes bankrupt, you have a group of people (with no formal contract between them) who each buy 9.9% of the stock, and who only will start selling at 30 times the price, what could the shorts do? Would this be called collusion even without a formal...

It won't happen there because they won't capture all the float. But what about if all the float of a stock is captured?

It would seem to me for stock like LEHMQ and WAMUQ the shorts would NOT be quick to cover thereby avoiding paying taxes on their gains. If so, what would happen if big buyers came in to buy up ALL the outstanding float of the stock. Could they not bring the stock back up to $50, and pressure...

The person absolutely refuses, as it would supply ammo rope to the shorts to get oneself hanged. The question is if this is a sell signal, and if one should assume shorts are generally knowledgeable tradeable who are better informed than us.

A person I know received an express mail from his broker (Schwab) with a letter suggesting he loan out shares of his thinly traded stock (on the verge of a make or break announcement). They are offering to pay him over $1400/month to borrow the shares and with a return legal express envelope...

If I am using IB, what time, and what ECN? (Stock to trade as early as possible: WHI)

Is the earliest time 8:00 Eastern? Is there anyway for a trader using an American broker to place orders before?
