    Since IB added "index trader" my portfolio page also includes my pending page as well for some reason. I manually one by one the pending orders from the page (without cancelling the orders), but it keeps coming back automatically (i.e. the same way the portfolio always defaults to the current...

    Proof MM's are the intraday manipulators--not hedge funds

    So the SEC has gone after naked shorting as well as all shorting of financials to protect public companies. Our dear Christoper Cox had acknowledged the main damage was done by intraday trading and not by naked shorting. Well any daytrader who monitors level 2 often for low volume stocks...

    And what about a case there is a violation of naked shorting? How would that get monitored to know when a broker has already ran out of shares?

    No shorting of financials allowed: who monitors this?

    What would stop the shorts from continuing doing their stuff--and perhaps even more today after some price recoveries? Who monitors them? Where are violations reported? Does anyone on Elite Trader even know where to report manipulative trading activity for an investigation*...

    Please explain what happened...

    Quite clear to me that the $14.04 offer was not taken out by anyone else, and was not cancelled just at the same moment. I was watching level 2 closely, and there was a sudden major shift in the bid/ask that happened in the wake of my order.
