The stock is ALRN, above $1. This is the most extreme case. I sit on bid 8 minutes and got charged $0.0033 per share

The broker is fine. I was worried if there is something that i did not know about the rebates. Maybe there's some kind of special rule that I don't know. I just carefully checled my trade logs. One of my orders sit on bid for about 8 minutes and was chrged as i was taking liquidity

That's a good question. I am not getting anything from saying something bad about my broker. Probably this thread would not do much damage, but my broker losing clients might be detrimental to me because of economies of scale

I wrote you the broker name in private tread. I don't wanna hurt my broker

Hello, Today I bought some stocks. I was providing liquidity, meaning that I placed my orders on the bid price and was waiting for my order to get filled. My orders sid there for about 10 to 60 seconds before they got filled. I used NSDQ and ARCA routes. But almost with my all stocks, I did...

Hello, I have been recently investing in small caps. Is there a rule of thumb for choosing the maximum amount of funds I can invest in a small-cap stock without significantly affecting its price? Let's say there is a small-cap with an average daily volume of 1 mln, with a price of $1. If i am...

Thank you Robert, I will contact you directly

Ok, fair enough. That is good that it is possible to locate earlier than 7am. When is the exact locate request start time then? And could you please give me a locate example for ALZN?

Hello, I am interested in Lightspeed. Could you help me with a few questions? First, when I can start locating stocks with lightspeed, 7 am? In your opinion, are you on par with Cobra trading in terms of locate availabilities?

Interestingly Cobra offers free IEX route for Sterling pro subscribers. Does IEX route work well premarket and after-hours?

Have you tried it? Looks promising, but i would be happy if someone shared his personal experience

Hello, I have just opened an account with COBRA trading. They offer several routes. One of them is LAMP, which is a free route. Have you ever tried the route? I have contacted COBRA about the route and they told me that it is a good route, but I have never used it and it seems like the route...

For me it's not about shorting, it's about not buying))

Thanks for the update :)
