    SPRT merger with Greenidge-CSP?

    Afaik strike and all will be the same, new symbol GREE. Not sure when merger is complete (monday after vote?) but i guess existing shareholders of gree will dump their shares with both hands... SPRT price is so inflated. I did short the 20/30 call spread, closed it today.

    Short status: unavailable (red)

    I have no idea. Saw it on SPRT. Locates habe tried up on this one, other brokers charging 1$+ per share on locates. You can still short (D)ITM calls

    Why I did not get any rebates

    Ok, i think that answers it. Iceberg orders can get rerouted imo if NBO gets to your bid. Also i think some exchanges might charge taker fee on the non visible part.

    Best trading platform for day trader - IB or Fidelity or lightspeed

    No issue on execution using MEMX, imo i even get better fills than on ARCA/ISLAND. I use the classic TWS (not mosaic look) and like the tools Ibkr offers such as trading from quote window, scale and conditional orders, book trader. Lot size very variable but i do quite some volume, regularly...

    Best trading platform for day trader - IB or Fidelity or lightspeed

    You pay too much, try tiered pricing with ibkr... when you trade a lot and/or add liquidity it gets much cheaper, with rebates even for free or you actually get paid (choose MEMX exchange for max rebate)

    20-Delta Short Strangles

    Agree with JSOP, given the position sizes relative to capital, sooner or later you blow up on some 100%+ overnight gap (which will likely fade, but then you are already liquidated)... If those 10k are money to play with, that's fine, but dont think of it as a viable long term income strategy...

    Can I long and short simultaneously ?

    I highly doubt long equity in one account and the same stock short in other account is allowed on a larger scale... Cause it would allow you to bypass SSR and open a short position by selling your longs into the bid.

    Will Interactive brokers block or limit my account if I sell more than 15% of daily stock volume?

    Last time it happened on a listed stock. Got a message in ticket center from compliance and had to confirm i am not affiliated with company and stuff like that. Was no big issue, never heard back and was able to trade them all the time (i think it said answer required within 48 hours or something).
