The s56 is a requirement for CBOE firms; However, if you have a s7, you can bypass the 56. The firm will have to register your series 7 with their firm and that will qualify you for an exemption from the s56.

if I'm not mistaken, you can use ninjatrader to feed data to RediPlus using the API provided by GS. Don would have to clarify further though. I don't know much about RediPlus

Not sure maybe it is a US firm which has a BC location and that location only has local traders? I know firms like EchoTrade will allow Canadians if they obtain the series 7; However, it differs from firm to firm. Every firm has a different legal structure in place and accepts traders under...

Yes. The same type of economic shutdown the working-class people and middle class of this country have had to face for the last half decade. We all will need to experience temporary discomfort and political instability at some point if we're going to turn this country back in the right...

It is about time someone locked these cronies up for constitutional crimes but we should start with the executive branch who now believes they declare war without congress. Arresting congress will only lead to a bloodbath. You gotta go straight to the white house and do this from the top down.
