Seems I've paid that when taking liquidity near the 1st of the month before hitting the next commission tier. Maybe I was taking a bigger position. Point is that the trade costs vary so widely.

It's interesting that they always refer to defi malfunctions as a "hack". The blockchain didn't fail. Someone just figured out something about the contract that was overlooked in its design and it operated in a way that was not intended.

The cost savings I referred to were net of all commissions and exchange fees. I agreed with you that questioning the honesty of parties you interact with on Wall Street is important. That's what prompted me to put them to the test regarding my order fills. If you are having a hard time with...

1) All my trades and order fills were real. Nothing was simulated. 2) I don't trust IB either, which is why I tested them. 3) If you don't like their smart router you can send directed orders to your favorite exchange. The cost savings is not so much a factor of their router as it is the dark...

Can someone explain the logic around why exchanges and brokers quote all their fees per share instead of per dollar? The cost to the exchange for trading 10,000 shares of a $1 stock must be about the same as trading 100 shares of a $100 stock. Yet the fees charged to the retail customer (I'm...

My testing was done with US equities and marketable limit orders that filled immediately. Market orders entered on a retail trading platform by a customer frequently get converted to a marketable limit order by your broker as a means of limiting their risk. IB frequently simulates a market...

Your intuition is understandable but several months ago I wrote software to test this. I did pay a measurable and significant amount more for PFOF orders. The tests sent identical orders to TD and IB in separate execution threads so that they left my network within the same millisecond. TD is...

You are going to have to give a few more details on what a "project on stock trading" is. That's way too broad.

There's no free lunch. Every time you trade there is a marketplace operating that incurs expenses. If someone is offering free trades then they are running a strategy that simply hides their fees and their profits from you. It's always better to pay the fee, shop around and understand...

Buy the rumor sell the news. If retail is consuming news about these companies going bankrupt then the selling is probably about done for a while in my opinion.

Edo, I left you a private message with my phone #.

Trading is a fool's game. It's my full time income but never forget that you need prior life experiences to have the skills to make this work. You can't buy books, read message forums or watch YouTube videos and learn to trade profitably imo. Just like creating any new business you will have...

If you have put 20,000 hours and 7 years into it but it is still only a dream then I think you have answered your own question.

The borrow fee is a market rate just like so many other data points. It is another cost thrown on your pile of costs when trading. When going short the math gets very complicated for those who don't skip it. You have to consider the bid/ask spread, borrow fee, risk of being squeezed out, your...

My opinion: Use data from the past. Trying to predict something that has never happened before rarely turns out well. You can make up all sorts of data to test your strategy with but how are you ensuring your data simulates the real world?

This is all that matters in crypto: The supply of BTC and ETH are falling. Every other asset on the planet increases in supply as demand increases. But the micro amounts in lost wallets cause the accessible supply of these cryptos to consistently go down. ETH supply is also deflationary by...

This will never happen. Treasuries and cash serve almost exactly the same function and both are very liquid. Thinking of treasuries as debt is not the proper context.

You saw my research, huh?

It's not something you can replicate but it's not at all hard to believe. You get nanosecond timestamps on trades from the exchanges and can see it in the data. You can also watch his trade screen. It's all very real. What you are trying to ask is: Does he have some advantage that you and I...

His executions are real. What he is doing is still a bit scam-like but it's not as easy as "he's just faking it". You have to watch very closely and analyze data from the exchanges to see what is going on. When his live stream (yes, the one you have to pay for) shows him entering a trade you...
