Someone just said they heard this on the TV... Any truth to it? Anyone have a link? :)

The avergae firm wil likely charge the whole call position. (11, 200) Plus, about 30% of the stock value (as if it were a long positon.) If you are going prop. It will be a "haircut." This is usually the amount of money to cover an adverse move of 15%. Hope that helps... :)

INET does not have to follow the up-bid rule. But the brokerage firm that uses INET does. So if your brokerage firm never tells INET to always obey the rule for their firms orders, then you as a client make out big time. However, your firm will be fined heavily if caught when they are...

INET is under-rated in my opinion... They currently charge .0025 to route out and ARCA charges .003 to remove. This means it is cheaper to use INET to remove an ARCA quote than it is to use ARCA to remove an ARCA quote. Aslo, ARCA smart router quits working once the order is posted to...
