I was trading garbage stocks touted on chat boards in the dot com times. Made and gave back some decent money. I did feel that something was off back then, like there was a whole universe of meme stocks. Doesn't feel that way exactly right now.

But dotcom was based on overvalued BS stocks. Could this time be different because we are on the cusp of something transformative?

This is not 2007/2008. These days backstopping and billions will immediately ensue. Remember how SVB sparked a massive rally.

On the bright side, they just modified the Event Contracts to 5x their original size. Exchange fees don't appear to have increased. And IB's commission has stayed the same.

I have one but I don't want to increase his workload. Sorry.

I don't see any reason to keep more than the bare minimum at a bank. Earning 0% on a savings account in this environment is really unacceptable.

if interested in spreads, a nice seasonal trade is setting up. Short Sept Cocoa and Long Dec Cocoa

I think winter time around the Baltic sea is no match for Chicago winters

well now it is official. On Reuters. But there's hardly any market reaction? https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-sec-approves-some-spot-bitcoin-etfs-2024-01-10/

Small money managers face regulatory heat and get audited over cyber security. Go figure.

Odd, I have nothing bad to say about customer service at either Schwab or Fidelity. Somebody knowledgeable is always there within no time. And if they do not know an answer they ask around and get back to me pretty fast. Maybe they keep an eye on trading volume and how much PFOF you're...

You can still revert back to SSE if you request it. Can't trade with both TOS and SSE. The feature I like about TOS is the ability to copy multiple orders from an excel file and paste it into a 'Blast All' order.

if you time the gaps long and short there is still a decent edge in it.

was it routing thru Virtu? I heard they had technical issues recently

$29.93 per hr!! One can potentially make 6 figure income per year if doing door dash full time and Uber/Lyft on top for overtime. Wonder if this is some sort of bubble. Seems unreal.

It was weird how JPow's tone suddenly changed. I did not see that coming. I suspect pre election year coersion from the White House

Lots of guys that can code this on fiverr

They are manual entry only because their customer base is mainly buy and hold. I do make use of their 'Active Trader Pro' platform which has some good features for traders.

As an example, let's say some signal gets triggered. I will enter the market order manually a few seconds before the start of the next minute. For example if a trigger happens at 10:17:34 I will manually enter a market order a few seconds before 10:18:00, perhaps at 10:17:55. Within that 5...

I measure slippage a bit differently. I ask myself how was my execution compared to some benchmark or bogey? When a signal gets triggered, I execute at the start of the next minute. Then at night I download historical intraday stock data and run a module that compares my aggregate execution...
