Depends on your goal! If you want a quick fill, with a 95% chance of being executed, and want to save half the spread, then yes.

She is an absolute emotionally challenged self important idiot. She will not become President.

Why would you put sell orders in at bid + .05? Makes zero sense. Put sell orders in at either last traded, or ask, or ask +/- an amount based on the following: 1) the volatility of the stock 2) the volume traded compared with your order 3) how much you want to be filled compared with how much...

Ah, thank you.

Thanks. What I meant by execution data was just the trade histories from IB. 1. I manually manipulate the data in Excel to get P&L per trade (as IB dont show this in the Flex Queries) - I may change to using the Power Query/Get Data functionality in Excel to automate this manipulation. 2. I...

Hi all 1. I was wondering how you organise your execution data in Excel, eg if trading with Interactive Brokers. Do you run a query on Interactive Brokers, save the execution data as an Excel file, then organise with Excel's Power Query/Get Data functionality? 2. A related question: Assuming...

Not yet. I was UK and IBUK. Still in EU.

It is about ALL ETFs. It only applies to European investors. It is to "protect" European investors. Many of the European domiciled ETFS have supplied a KID (2-3 pager) so can be traded. The problem is European domiciled ETFS are generally so much less liquid and with wider spreads and higher...

That would be good. Where did you get that list from?

Its not about the prospectus. It is about a 2-3 page summary called a KID required by the EU regulators since 01-01-2018. A new thing,

It's very hard if not impossible to change to a US broker based in the US if you are not living in the US. I tried with multiple brokers. Ever since Sep 11 2001 they clamped down. I feel lucky I can trade with IB (as Ameritrade, Schwab etc said no way if not American or living there). I just...

It's just ETFs.

It is not restricted to IB. Some did it already, some have yet to do it. All will have to comply at some point. What really p**ses me off is the total lack of communication from IB. Just blocked. And I had a new system to run long term, now I can not.

Thanks. I got the same messages from IB (they were firm and clear), but I did not ask about becoming a "professional" investor. They do note on one web page that EUR500,000 is needed.

Can trade European made ETFs but they usu, have higher fees and are lliquid

It is ABSOLUTELY PREPOSTEROUS. Enough to get me back on Elitetrader after a decade to see if anyone else is having the same issue. I have traded on IB every day for 14 years and love it completely until this. ZERO communication from IB. No messages, no emails, nothing. They just block ETFs...

Thanks, interesting.

Hi all. I've been testing various ideas for a short S&P system. The purpose is, if you have a portfolio of stocks, you may want to hedge, at peaks, against market declines like this week. Ive tried CCI, RSI, ADX, DI+/- and ROC. Nothing really works. Perhaps the answer lies in market internals...
