    Walking a limit order

    The consensus here for executing a simple options order (single leg) in a medium liquidity option (for example 0.30/0.35 spread) seems to be start with an aggressive limit order and walk it up, fast or slow depending on your urgency... my question is does it matter what broker you use for...

    Best jokes about Texans deworming themselves in record numbers

    Instead of dismissing a medicine because it's also used for horses, or because taking a horse-sized dose will hurt you, our overlords could have a little credibility if they stopped saying "no evidence" and address what exactly is wrong or fake about all of this: https://ivmmeta.com

    Upset Chinese investors hold hostage USGFX staff in Shanghai

    Remember this is China, nevermind legality, whether it's the IB or just an individual salesman, there are tons of stock/futures/forex gurus who will say "put money in the account and I'll double it in 6 months". And yes 90% of the rich people have no clue, they got their money from corruption...

    Yum China

    Yeah, I was typing too fast, the Pizza Huts are still clean and modern. But this is not special anymore, many other brands have caught up. The quality of service is definitely going down, they used to be overstaffed and really well trained, now understaffed and lazy (probably underpaid), which I...

    Yum China

    I live in China, here are my thoughts.... KFC should continue to grow steadily, it's always packed. Chinese people don't want Western food, they want the Western level of service and supposed safety/cleanliness. So, apart from the original chicken (which nobody eats) the menu is completely...

    What Dark Pool offers the faster fills now? Which one has more volume now?. Please need advice

    To the OP, yeah you want a route that intelligently hits many dark pools (including IEX). IB smart route hits the big dark pools. I am with T3 and use their SmartMid route, it intelligently scans many dark pools and then posts in the one with the most liquidity. Seems all the decent direct...

    Remote trading (not from home)

    Yeah I wanted to do this, and didn't find a mobile charting app that I was satisfied with, ended up using the Teamviewer app (I preferred it a bit over Remote Desktop). It's nice to access your old familiar charting, and the input is not very nimble but it's fine for placing a few trades. And...
