    IBKR Order type for options (combo)

    What does pegged/snap to primary with options mean? In general, there is a "Primary" exchange for the equities but no longer for options.

    Strategy talk: A One-Dimensional Volatility Skew

    Hi Richard- There is another thread where we talked about the implied borrow rate on the April options of about $9 to $10 for less than 22 days. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/non-political-question-anyone-planning-to-short-djt.378911/

    (Non-political question) Anyone planning to short DJT?

    I would not post it publicly and I do not know as it is not on the list as the DJT has not settled yet.

    Must have been a file issue. Just requires a locate now.

    This was the closing of a SPAC not an IPO so I do not expect that to be why a broker shorted the stock for their own book.

    I'm not familiar with the term, "red shoe guys." Anyone that shorted the shares before today, might be subject to a Reg SHO buy-in if the clearing broker can't borrow shares by the due date. It might clear up or get worse.

    Think or Swim for scalping stocks. ...what am I missing?

    Hi David, we do not offer free commissions, but you should try a demo of Lightspeed Trader. If you do a large amount of scalping on the free routes of the online brokers, their market makers they send their orders to will shut you down. We have heard that from customers of Fidelity and TDA. This...

    We can't short DJT today - Threshold stock. This was to be expected.

    Sounds about right. I wonder what it goes to if a Threshold stock in two days.

    (Non-political question) Anyone planning to short DJT?

    Yes, if you can get net $80, that is $10 to borrow for 24 days or about $0.417/day.

    All I did was put in Buy Put, sell call, buy stock. In that picture, the mid points are 66.27 + 24.58 - 10.80 = 80.05 for the 70 strike. On Silexx, right now, 80.69

    Roundtrip times and latencies

    Patrick, I know you no longer work for TT, but what would you estimate the latencies for using TT's API after the order reaches their server, under 10 ms? TT FIX under 2 ms? I would be surprised if EZE EMS (Realtick) xAPI is more than 10ms to CME after it reaches their servers. They say they...

    Roundtrip times and latencies

    That seems high after it reaches their servers in Chicago. I wonder if they are all in NY/NJ/CT and then need to go to the CME.

    Roundtrip times and latencies

    Hi Patrick- I see you left TT and now work for Nodal Exchange. I had to look that one up. I was not familiar with it. You put this post in Trading Software. Are you only asking about Futures and automated traders? Most of our equity platforms use servers on AWS with a cross connect to the NJ...
