Think smarter, not harder, dude.

A, would you mind posting a daily/weekly spreadsheet or something to that effect as well just to summarize occasionally? I think the forest gets lost in trees sometimes in these types of threads, especially if others post in as well. Thx.

I get $1.25 per contract (and do nowhere near your volumes). However, I have had this account since before TDA bought them. I also have a account with IB and TOS didn't seem too interested in matching their pricing (even without knowing my volume) as they said: "IB is a deep-discount" broker...

Thinkorswim offers limited margin accounts... https://www.thinkorswim.com/tos/displayFaq.tos?categoryKey=...IRA+basics

Fidelity requires 120 trades per rolling 12 month period and min of $25k in your account.

I think you can make watchlists which have thumbnail charts using stockfetcher. It's free to try, so give it a whirl.

If you are using fixed targets/stops which don't change (or change in a simple fashion such as a percentage trailing stop), then the order management task seems like the most logical alternative. However if you update your orders by some sort of logic (or even think you might in the future)...

Stockfetcher.

From my understanding, they aren't commission free if you phone it in (i.e: broker assist). I do it all the time in my Fidelity 401k from the long side and it works just as advertised. I'm not sure about the short side, though.

For a solo developer who is strictly looking for revision control, I think SVN is the best bank for the buck (given that it's open source). If you are dealing with a team of developers, the tight integration between your repository and your IDE, code reviews, and documentation are obviously...

$150k cash as an enlistment bonus in the nuclear power program? I'm going to have to call BS on that one. If a recruiter told you that, they're pulling your leg.

PowerOptions?

Since you have an IB account, why not log on to their online customer support chat and ask them directly?

Altria (MO). If you want a bit more diversification while still focusing on a particular sector, some of the State Street SPDR ETF are pretty liquid. Things like: XLM, XLE, XLK, XLI, XLB, XLF, etc...

How do you get slippage on a limit order?

With a short sale you are responsible for paying the dividends.

It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison and depends on what you bought, where you bought, and when you bought it. Unless you have a lot of capital and can withstand periods of vacancy, I think it's better to pursue actual ownership via REITS,etc. ETF can crash hard just like a stock...
