because you're angry?

When there are capital controls there are capital controls. And when financial institutes don't want US clients, they don't want US clients. No way around it

In the end, it depends how your bot acts. If it watches the prices and snipes trades that are over a certain threshold while you convert instantly, you need to calculate your threshold on a trade by trade basis. If you quote bids and offers on venue1 based on bids and offers on venue 2, which...

Well then I don't understand the issue. When you are filled at the bid for your entire inventory on venue 1, transfer everything to venue 2 and do the reverse. If you don't like discrete rebalancing times, rebalance every x% of your inventory and use stables to instantly transfer the money

It's just an infrastructure issue. Your bot isn't fast enough

Ok, I see. Not quite my cup of tea although I'm not into competing with HFT either. Still pref neutral strategies and liquidity provision tho. Depending on your jurisdiction I'd strongly suggest you check out upcoming regulation changes especially when it comes to crypto. Transaction reporting...

Do you have a track record? Pref Sharpe > 5 on intraday basis. If so, shoot me a PM

I find it pretty funny that nobody is on the right track here or is on the right track for the wrong reasons. There is only one definitive answer to that: Retail makes bets. Bets are sold by entities (MMs, HFTs, HFs) who know how to price them properly. Example: Imagine a dice. You pay me 1$...

Don't drink and post

This is a bit problematic since there are capital controls in place for south korea. Good luck

Well look at that. This is the kind of stuff you can make money with :) Without going into details here I would strongly suggest you leave IB for a proper futures broker. I know IB is convenient, but that's all there is. It will be more difficult for you if you trade MACs or SOFRs in conjunction...

There is no "error". I asume you trade through a broker that sells your order to an internalizer for profit. The price of your order has not changed, it just never got routed to an exchange this it did not show up in a lit book. If you got filled at 0.35$, why even be upset, you got the...

I can't stop facepalming...really. The order is the brokers (not yours). The market maker has no influence on the order nor can he change the price. The broker is bound by best execution rules. If you post a volatility order, price will change with spot and vol. Attempted fraud of the market...

...the monkeys when they blindly mash buttons on the colorful platforms of their PfoF brokers. Get direct access, learn routing, problem solved

A long position in CDS is also a long rate/short bond position. However I think he means deal structure aka pay monthly prem vs. forking it out at once upfront

errrr....guys, he's talking about long puts on treasuries which is a short notional. Rates up->treasuries down. We're not talking about shorting puts here XD

really dude?

There are several types of edge. Manual fund managers usually hold weeks and months but they have better research than anybody else...They are smarter and that's how they compete. The best (Paul Tudor Jones et al. ) average double digit returns. Proprietary trading firms usually operate in...

Thanks for your comments. We checked that first but honestly spreaking TWS is a piece of useless junk. It's slow, unreliable, datafeed is not realtime and sometimes it doesn't even show up. Perhaps it's just me because I'm used to other stuff but I feel if anybody relies on TWS for intraday...

Hi folks, need a bit of advice from you guys here. I mentor someone for a bit and I don't have any idea what to recommend as options analyzer as all of my stuff is either custom coded or spread sheets which are way to complex. He's with IB. Must haves: - stress test options positions with...
