    What if a trade doesn't immediately move in your favor?

    Caveat: Only my opinion. Immediately exiting the trade would be a better choice for the following reasons: You'll have more opportunities to either make or lose money, presumably the former.:) If the trade goes against you and then comes back to your entry point, the natural tendency...

    Don't mean to be critical but you are in your fifth week and already feel you've reached a level which many traders have never reached. Hmmm..............

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    If you're referring to this particular post you didn't mis-read it MR NBBO. If you followed this thread from the beginning I've chronicled what I experienced trading at this firm and the changes that I encountered over a period of time. Initially this is what was taking place. Then things...

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    The issue here is very basic and simple. Nothing complicated about it at all. Allow IB clients the choice to choose Smart as the routing vehicle but to exclude Ideal as the venue where their order is filled. I'll use an example again to illustrate my point. I want to buy 1000 shares of ABCD. I...

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    First, there is Smart the routing choice. This is the one you see play so many times on CNBC where they show IB's smart router diligently and meticulously making the most efficient routing decisions from the clients' point of view. Now, assume that you have chosen Smart as the routing choice...

    If your brokerage is the counterparty to your trades...

    I've got a suggestion here for IB. Why can't they give IB clients the choice of excluding 'Ideal' from Smart routing. Those who want to include 'Ideal' can do so and those that don't should be able to exclude. Imho, this would remove all misgivings and trepidations that clients have. This is...

    Dumbest move of my short short trading career

    It is not an uncommon problem at all. The bigger the loss the more difficult it becomes to pull the trigger until the pain becomes unbearable. You can give yourself all the pep talking you want but when you sit in front of that screen you just do the opposite of what you've been telling yourself...

    Does this happen to you?

    These are interesting observations and not unusual at all. I personally don't subscribe to 'the accounts being targeted' theory. I believe most of the problems that you folks have been experiencing is due to the trading environment in stocks these days. The bulk of trading is program driven...

    ib must be selling order flow on options

    I do but you can't beat the MMs at their own game no matter how smart you are. Remember they work together as a group. No matter what anybody tells you. All you can do is to take advantage of some inefficiences in the marketplace as and when they occur.
