    IB's chat service is useless: question about algos

    Source is OCC I am guessing? Can one breakdown those stats at the security/option level?

    Alright dude. None of what you said makes sense but thanks for sharing. P.s. the Israel conflict is already solved. Best selling ice-cream is vanilla. Superior taste is reflected in the price of Madagascar beans.

    IB's chat service is useless: question about algos

    Thank you very much for your thoughts. I hear from some that splitting orders might not help unless some of said orders hit Philly where we get no rebate, but they get a lot of customer flow. C2 and the others with higher rebates, get very little flow I am told. Have you noticed any ot this?

    IB's chat service is useless: question about algos

    Just to be clear, will you be classified as a pro if you send out 16 orders to 16 exchanges? I am guess that not all 16 exchanges are on par. How can one filter out trading volumes for a specific option by exchange to see which exchanges are the most active and target them exclusively?

    IB's chat service is useless: question about algos

    This is a very basic question but your advice is appreciated. I usually trade options exclusively with Limit/Icebergs set on MaxRebate. But I am finding it harder getting filled and would like to know which the best algo is to split an order and distribute it across all exchanges? Thanks

    Safest way to make 1% per month

    Not TQQQ itself, of course not. But the idea of a leverd product amplifying IV is. The problem with levered indices is knowing real leverage, by looking at operational and financial leverage of each of the underlying.

    Now that is very interesting, you are skimming premium on a high IV where the IV is due to leverage! I care to explore it further and will PM you if that's OK not to focus this conversation on 1 idea only.

    Just to make a very clear point: 0 interest in technical analysis. A false sense of security or confirmation bias is how I see it. But thanks.

    Safest way to make 1% per month

    A quick recap after 8 pages of back and forth - here are the 2 top ideas as of now: 1) Multiple residential units to hedge tenancy risk, LTV of 65%, periphery (out of CBD) and out of favour (requiring work). A combination of location selection and asset improvement. 2) Discount arbitrage (as...

    The compounding/drawdown question is irrelevant in my view at this stage, it has a deminimis effect anyways. let's call it $1m for guidance.

    That's a very good question - I kept it simple. Let's call it 10ys or 1 full economic cycle to make things interesting. Forward looking of course, hindsight is no good.

    Everyone is chasing the dream of early retirement. Beating the stock market by a very small margin is a real challenge and push us all to think differently....not easy.

    I did not say that. I said free of US withholding tax on income. CGT is another kettle of fish.
