After much thinking, the cheapest way of betting on oil seems to be buying Norwegian Krona. The correlation is staggering.

How did your box "behave" over the last 10 days?

None o What I buy is none of your business really....unless you are my wife and then we have more serious issues seeing you on this forum.

That's a great idea but I hate dividends as a foreign investor subjected to WHT

It sounds like buying battered E&P equity is cheaper that a direct exposure to the underlying commodity then?

WTI or Brent - what is the most cost effective way of making a rolling bet on the spot price? Say you want to buy oil at $25/gallon with a view of prices reverting back to $40 at some point, but you are not sure when. (p.s. answer to this question may sound obvious to some as futures, but I am...

Thank you - are you concerned at all by IB auto liquidating legs of your box on the back of rogue prints?

By that same logic, why can't one appeal forced liquidations done by the IB Algorithm in case where obviously the algo has liquidated illiquid instruments very far from the last print? Plenty of rents on online forums and a couple of court cases currently outstanding regarding this matter, where...

Thanks for that as always. I take it that all other brokers bust as well then as easily as IB. What about the case where both parties to a trade are IB clients? Does IB adjudicate? If so, what is the logic or rational?

Those are great numbers....so what's your secret?

A limit order of mine was lifted yesterday at closing 170% away from the last print. Subsequently busted according to IB. Reading online, it seems to me that trades >15% away from last print can be busted by other side (usually market makers) at their discretion, since exchanges act like SROs.

You have 5m with IB and are just borrowing 200k - I am guessing you are just trying it out for now? Is there a longer dated box offered by IB, say about 3 years? Any chance you could post a detailed step by step guide on how you have done that with IB? Thanks again.

TOS is charging more to borrow than Lightspeed.... no one seems to beat IB on fees it seems.

Lightspeed's margin rate is 5%

I need an API ... any thoughts regarding TOS?

I trade straight stocks but am looking for more margin than what IB offers, and am not a big fan of The Algorithm. Anyone better out there?

12 months trailing performance per the post header.

How about now? is anyone still in the black?

Did the position IB liquidated appear in the daily transaction statement?

Who do you trade with?
