Another option is a discretionary order where you are say $1 off the market but will hit anything instantly up to a limit price.

I know. In New York it's really bad:

If you are a professional engineer, then do yourself a favor and learn the basics of programming. Then try platforms like QuantConnect or Quantopian to test strategies.

IB certainly makes you feel like you are a guinea pig sometimes. Pretty inexcusable on their part. (I had this happen to me yesterday morning as well).

This notice is saying you can't trade on margin for currencies. But I can trade currencies if I don't employ margin. In fact, you can essentially use margin if a foreign stock is involved (but the details could get a little tricky there). Is this conclusion incorrect?

You could also try and modify your backtesting algorithm into QuantConnect's framework. You can't download the data but you can test against it. And it includes pre and post-market data.

NxCore from Nanex.

I am not arguing with you about the benefits of movement and exercise. However, you said: Just because you are standing (versus sitting), makes no difference to your health (assuming you are not moving). These standing workstations are a complete waste of money - another industry that has...

Another case where the SEC limits, instead of protecting my rights as an individual trader/investor. Funny how "protect investors" seems to imply "protect investors from themselves", rather than "protect investor's rights" like it should be. SEC should be abolished. Worthless organization...

Unless you want to wait several months to see a movie, you have no choice but to go to a theater. And that is why movie theaters will still exist. And I'm sure the movie industry makes more money when people see movies at the theater. So I wouldn't expect the delayed release model to go away...

Out of curiosity, why do you hate Python? I have never been able to get into Python and I think it is because I cannot stand that indentation is part of the language (and the problems that arise because of this - like using tabs vs spaces but you can't use both). That being said, I do like...

Last time I checked (more than a year ago), the answers to all your questions were no. Doesn't mean things haven't changed though.

It only seems fair to start jailing the creators of HFTs now. Please let me be on the jury.

It's probably more accurate then a tick-by-tick feed that lags.

If you never close a losing trade, you never lose. I think Lenny Dykstra mastered this. By the way, Cramer said Lenny was "one of the great ones":

It is always after these people make a hefty sum that they "get religion" and say they need more meaning in their lives. The reason they can do that is because they have money and can do whatever they want. And the reason they have money is because of Wall St.

Considering how different the old and new websites are, I feel like you are trivializing the amount of work involved in such an operation.

Maintaining 2 separate websites is nearly double the cost in terms of programming resources. Maybe Yahoo will see the light when traffic to their finance pages dwindles.

True, but my point is that you can't generally judge the "intent" of an electronically submitted order. You know the symbol, timestamp, order quantity, buy or sell, and the party who submitted it and that's about it. Trying to judge "intent" seems laughable and expensive. The simple solution is...
