    BNY Mellon Now Offers Bitcoin Custody Services

    I'm not saying that, I'm asking if that's the case. Some entity needs to take that risk, so I want to know which one does. From what I understand for stocks/bonds/futures, even if a broker or clearing house gets hacked, they cannot just transfer all the money to some offshore accounts. But...

    BNY Mellon Now Offers Bitcoin Custody Services

    My question was about holding the keys. We hear all the time about data breaches and customers’ private data being stolen. But if the keys are stolen, it’s bye bye your money. So I am curious how this works. Are they actually liable in such situation? IB is using Paxos and is NOT liable.

    can dark pools distinguish between a sell order to close, or a short order to open?

    For US equities, no. Brokers are doing the checks, as Robert mentioned, but exchanges just see buy or sell orders. Legit dark pools should not be getting such info either.

    Was position sizing discussed on this thread? @Global OptionsTrades, is this journal just a way for you to forward test, or are you actually trading your whole account this way increasing/decreasing exposure as opportunities present themselves?

    Execution speed

    While I have no proof, I would advise against setting this flag. This flag MAY cause additional compliance checks to be performed or reduce number of available venues to send to. I gave up looking for explanations with IB, I adopted take-it-or-leave-it approach. Try directing your order to...

    Execution speed

    I haven’t looked at this in awhile but I remember that I had to turn dark pools off to use SMART. Otherwise, orders went to never-ever land.

    SMB and Sang Lucci

    Why do you think he is lying? He trades real-time, posts his broker statements, and was audited. What else can he do? The only valid argument against him , imho, is that he may not have achieved those results without his students/followers rushing in as he’s getting out. But from what I have...
