The board of NDAQ is 90% white, 30% that look like women (who knows how they identify), and 100% woke.

I was able to set up a screener for after-hours returns / movers pretty easily within TWS. Don’t use it much, but it’s there if you want it.

Chat is easier for simple stuff, but my experience has been quite good getting IB’s people to assist me when it’s required. It helps to have a bigger account and/or more trading activity I’m sure. For example, this past week I reported a bug where a certain order type for an obscure product...

Sounds like you’re trying to trade the old options that existed from before the delisting. These are close only by the exchange, so no one is going to let you open new positions. If you just want to trade the common stock, almost any broker should let you do that.

But if you have extra cash, more than is covered in the FDIC sweeps, you could earn more by investing in short term IB corporate paper. 60 days is very short term, so credit risk should be very low, never mind IB has tons of excess capital (and won’t pay it out as dividends, perhaps to the...

Yeah, that sucked. During this time, PM requirements on even large cap equities went from 6x to 1.5-2x. As such, I wouldn’t think anything more than 1.5x in a drawdown is something you could count on, not that you can count on anything for sure. If you have a long portfolio with high margin...

I was also having trouble importing tickers. I tried exporting and re-importing from the same file and the import didn’t work at all.

It’s almost like there could have been something in the name of the stocks, some sort of warning, that would let you know it was risky if you wanted to buy it. Nah, that’s crazy talk. Let everyone go back to shorting calls on TSLA and shorting puts on BYND - you definitely can’t lose more...

$3-4K, including several dozen K-1s and various brokerage account 1099s. I try to make it easy on them by summarizing my trading activities and expenses, and they do a good job of reminding me about any accounts or K-1s from prior years that I might have failed to include this time around.

Those are not venues, those are levels of status you get by paying more to OTCMarkets.com (and also meeting some standards like having a $0.01 or higher price, filing your financials, etc). The IB supported venues are SMART(MM usually), ARCAEDGE, and OTCLNKECN. The latter two are otc exchanges...

No, not IB. most otc stocks trade via third party market makers like Citadel rather than on exchanges. That’s what the MM means when you see it as in the “exchange” field.

It depends on why it’s gray market. https://www.otcmarkets.com/glossary Grey Market, "OTC" or "Other OTC" is a security that is not currently traded on the OTCQX, OTCQB or Pink markets. Broker-dealers are not willing or able to publicly quote OTC securities because of a lack of investor...

MM is market maker, that’s not an exchange like OTC Link. I’m not sure why you’re trying to get the market open or close, but for otc stocks I would stick to limit orders.

Quotes are not allowed for gray market.

I ran into a margin issue when one of these SPACs changed their ticker also. It went from being about 1/3 requirement to 100%. I think this is because IB sometimes starts at 100% margin until they get some trading history on it, or they think it’s an IPO insteaad of a ticker change or...

It’s fixed if you check now.

Nice trade for this morning, both ways.

Because that market maker is the one that TDA sent your order to for execution.

Just to elaborate if anyone didn’t understand the above comment, you want to be sure you can take a tax deduction for the very high costs involved in shorting Hard To Borrow stocks. For example you could make money trading, say paying $10k in fees to make $15k in profits. So far so good, but...
