Huge gain in clients in March. 39,900. Pretty much 4x any month in 2019.

Not Unless they are a client of the brokers that opt for IBKR Lite and don't increase the commission schedule. But there's a middleman involve so you may experience price increases elsewhere...

I once had a client that ALWAYS had around $3,000 in the account who incurred over 50-65k yearly in commissions. At the end of each year he always hovered around 1-5k in funds in the account and had huge yearly commissions. He paid $9.95 +1.00 per Contract for Options and between $4.95 - $9.95...

Available outside those countries for brokers only.

True for next time. But there's still time to pivot and change your response for this current crisis.

You don't need to go through something to be able to plan for it. America needs to get tougher with it's Pandemic Response. It just overtook the world in Coronavirus cases and will soon overtake the world in Deaths. Quarantine Measures that other Countries are Doing but America doesn't 1...

I'd h I'd have to see your orders to give you a clear answer. What the NBBO was at the time you sent the order and execution price. But generally what I find different is that IB will make more use of dark pools, They re-route resting limit orders, and will split orders across multiple venues...

I worked at Questrade before. We sold our clients retail order flow to large High-Frequency Traders (Citadel, Apex) to trade against them. As long as the NBBO rules were followed, then the regulator doesn't care. You could see BIG differences in execution between Questrade/TD direct Investing...

Your forgetting about Price Improvement. NBBO is the minimum the Broker has to comply with. Just because NBBO is the minimum allowed, doesn't mean you can't get better. What was the average price improvement over NBBO at your TD account? Something quantitative, not anecdotal.

I didn't mind Trump on Energy, Taxation, and a bunch of Other policies before the Coronavirus but he's shitting the bed on Health-care & especially the Pandemic. Now the USA is #1 for infections and he STILL won't enact tough quarantine measures. America may have 2 million deaths by the time...

Efforts being done by other countries that USA doesn't do. 1. Temperature Checks of citizens by Police and Security 2. Thermal imaging at Airports 3. Troops mobilized to disinfect coronavirus hotspots 4. Tracking Bracelets to monitor active Coronavirus patients Without adopting tough...

The U.S. is dropping the ball on quarantine efforts. This could kill over 1 million Americans.

Nah not even for 58k usually. Unless you worked at a more aggressive firm collection wise than the 3 i've worked at.

I worked at a brokerage for 7 years. The majority of brokerages will not chase the debt aggressively. I'd advice not paying the full debt but maybe offer them 10-20 cents on the dollar. Cost of doing business.

The bank staff don't know much on capital markets. The corporate account is with TD bank but we haven't opened up a brokerage account yet. We just get issued shares from companies in return for consulting services. Most of these include warrants and common shares so looking for one that is cheap...

Hi, Does anyone know a good brokerage to deposit physical certs in for Canadians. I have a corporate account and am looking to deposit 5-10 certs per year into the account. Looking for something cheap and good that accepts canadian clients. Certs are for TSXV and CSE listed companies.

Neither was i allowed to at my former job when clients would ask. The fear was that disclosing a small amount of short inventory(e.g. below 1 billion) would infer to clients that they'd be better served at a bigger brokerage. Those with a big shortable inventory are usually looser with this...

Hello, I have recently started working for a Crypto Exchange which is introducing Margin trading on it's platform soon. I'm tasked with a few questions which i'm in over my head admittedly. What do crypto exchanges use as their price index for different Crypto pairs when determining margin...

What's a ballpark number? over 5 billion in inventory? I know it fluctuates but give us specific number so we get some idea.

How big is your book of shortable inventory?
