I live in Canada. Are wire fees, platform fees and exchange rate fees etc. Deductible on your taxes and if so what line do I use it on?

In poker you cannot predict what cards your opponent has. You just make better guesses based on their patterns. It's kinda the same concept when daytrading the markets.

No, I meant I don't need to use the extra feature of adding 0.05 price offset to seek additional liquidity since my position size is so small it's unlikely I will ever get partially filled.

Ok thanks but I don't think I will need that feature cuz my position sizes are so small right now. Unless somehow I hit the hotkey and someone snagged the shares right before me. But I think the software would just find the next available ask so I don't think that's would be an issue.

I've been using a hotkey that buys on the ask and trying to figure out if there is any difference to a market order. Lets say for example, if there was 100 shares on the ask but you used a hotkey to buy on the ask for 200 shares what would happen? Would it only buy 100 shares on the ask compared...

The market centers do not need to pay brokers to give them order flow that's bs. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4205379-robinhood-making-millions-selling-millennial-customers-high-frequency-traders

More bad things to say.... They just charged me the software fee of $89 when I only had $90 bucks left in my account. They changed the cancellation platform from manual to email/support out of the blue and that got me confused. Email them about it and this is what I get. Tonielle Mar 4, 21:00...

Another thing you should be aware of is they sell your information to HFT traders which is why they can offer free commission like Robinhood. I don't know exactly how these scumbags operate but if I were to make an educated guess is they target amateur traders and counter trade against them on...

So I am kinda confused when using a trailing stop sell order should I set it on the bid, ask, mark, last, avg price or bid/ask? Those are the options in the ThinkorSwim paper trading platform.

I shorted 200 shares of stock at $7.13 and covered at market order. It says I realized $50 & the bid and ask was below 6.85 but when my order wen thru it filled at $7.11 instead. There was no delay and the price stayed below $6.85 even after my order so it made no sense. Should I file a...

Some proof their software is messed up? In the chart you can see the price is displaying OBLN which is correct but in the Level 2 it freezes on Mrin even after I opened up OBLN or a different stock. This is a serious issue and it happens so frequently it's ridiculous!

Charts not displaying the correct price, watchlists won't save properly, crashes if you open a new level 2, crashes right at 9:30 am and doesn't come back up for a few minutes. It is just way too unstable to risk real money right now.

Contracts? I am not familiar with what those are. I trade equities only. Not futures.

I am convinced what you get in the market goes according to your own emotions, vibes, expectations etc. If you can't fix your inner self no matter what you do or how good you're at trading you'll only attract loss. I can't count how many times whenever I am trading the market goes cold for me...

I made a limit order for a stock for 37 shares afterhours. The current ask was 4.08 and there was 10x100. I waited 10 seconds or more and it did not get fill so I cancelled the order and bid at 4.09. Now this time it did get fill but the 1000 shares on the ask at 4.08 remained? I have heard...

I am pretty sure lightspeed doesn't accept Canadian regardless of the PDT rule. I am not entirely sure but I don't have 25k yet anyways.

I know about Lightspeed already. Unfortunately, I am not in the US or else that would've been my broker of choice.

The delays in the platform have become unbearable as of late. It is so bad I had several tickers on the level 2 that showed the same price for minutes while my charts were reading they moved up 20-30%. They've always had delay issues during high amounts of volatility but ever since the...

Yeah, on 2nd thought I think you're right it is likely my broker and not my computer specs. I did a search on youtube and found this...It seems they get a lot of delays when huge volume is pouring in. As a momentum daytrader that sucks. Sidenote: I checked my memory use while opening all...

Thanks I will upgrade my ram to 8GB and see what happens...
