I've had both the silver and gold cards and they both lasted about 5 years for me (two times a day use). I have a replacement gold card and the buttons are now "clicky" so that you can tell when you've pressed them (as opposed to the original card where the button feedback was non-existent)...

Sorry I can't help you - I have never encountered that setting, but I don't go looking into every nook and cranny of TWS. This is a problem that most IB customer support reps likely won't be able to help you with but there may be someone who knows if you are persistent. If you figure it out...

The only time I've had issues like the one you are describing is when I don't have market data permissions enabled for a particular security. That means that there is generally either no or delayed bid/ask data being shown and when I click on the bid or ask to generate an order, it brings up the...

The research has been inconclusive whether standing/treadmill desks have any benefit at all.

You're one of those "tape painters" I hear about. ;)

Not sure where you are seeing this. The only time direct routing costs more is if it is an API order. Then there is a surcharge. Do you manually place orders or do you use an API to place them?

I'd offer to take a look but I don't have Excel. Having the source code would probably be very helpful. How complicated is this program? I.e., how long do you think it would take to reproduce it from scratch?

But what if you quote the offer side, the bots follow you, and then you hit their offer on a different exchange. Technically you are never showing a quote because your order is marketable. This whole "manipulation" nonsense should just be thrown out the window. Let people trade. If you are a bot...

Was that your only trade in SVXY in 2017? The fact that you have to adjust your tax basis by $1,674 upwards implies that you received $1,674 in income reported on your K-1. So your basis compensates for the income reported. Without looking at the K-1, it is hard to be any more specific.

Wow, dump that printer in the garbage and never look back.

If all the boxes are zero, there is no change to your tax liability. I don't know if you trust the internet when it comes to answering questions, but there are a few places where it is implied you don't need to worry about it...

If all boxes are zero, then I wouldn't bother. Not a tax expert though.

I've had stock trades busted on me anywhere between 1 hour to 3 days later. The 3 days one was when IB forgot to notify me of the bust and it only became apparent after settlement day. These were instances where the prices were in the "clearly erroneous" range. The moral of the story is if you...

Commissions affect cost basis. If you are saying an exchange fee that you have to pay per transaction, that would affect the cost basis. If you are saying an exchange fee to see market data (a monthly fee), then that does not affect cost basis (but you can write it off as a business expense if...

Commissions affect cost basis. As for other types of fees, it depends on various things. You'll have to be more specific.

What if I send in a marketable limit order? Do I participate in the internalized liquidity as I would with a market order?

Just to clarify, will you gain access to the internalized liquidity when you submit a limit order (rather than a market order)? Is there a way to submit an order on Interactive Brokers where it will only search for internalized liquidity or dark pool liquidity (and not interact with the lit market)?

On the face of it, it seems like firing off a market order in an illiquid stock would be suicide. I am surprised by your comment. How much price improvement do you normally see?

I am not a tax expert, but I have my opinions: If all the entries are 0s, you can effectively ignore the K-1. HR Block should generate a Schedule E on your return even if you enter a 0 K-1. But the Schedule E will be all 0s. For K-1s with non-zero values, read...
