    Improving execution on IB order

    Anytime I’ve ever got a .005 improvement it was with a big bank brokerage that basically sold my order to someone like Citadel. To get past the NBBO they give a price improvement. The benefit to the firm who bought the order is they probably are quoting the listed exchanges and they just cut...

    AMP Global Application Requirements

    Never tried to open a futures account as a Canadian myself, but have seen threads discussing how certain brokerages allow certain provinces. For some reason futures regulations are provincial so some might accept Ontario, some accept Ontario, Nova Scotia. Think BC and Alberta are pretty much...

    https://apple.news/AWzkjb-hGR2-VglqysZvTog Popped up on my newsfeed this morning. Wonder how many staff the IRS has. Seems like a huge job to crunch all that data.

    Controlling 1M of stock with 4K USD

    Seems like a great place to make an account. Thought that box spread guy was bad. Ended up owing like 50k cause of early assign. Think he even managed to cash out 4K of premium which is the best part.

    What time do options expire?

    The credit would’ve been at the time of the trade, not after expiration. Not an option expert but I’d educate myself on early exercising and exercising of options and how paper trading options might not be a great way to know those risks or perhaps liquidity risks with options.

    TechLead - Midlife Crisis

    That guy popped up on my feed I think from some programming. Kind of funny to start every video and repeat 10x a video that your an “ Ex google ex Facebook tech lead millionaire”. Think that’s the channel is just people watching some guy ramble about nothing. Watched first bit of that video...

    Algo programs available primarily to number crunch statistics?

    Amibroker would handle it. Issue would be the data. You got yahoo, but you’d get blocked out requesting all day long. Norgate has a good EOD for U.S and ASX stocks but that’s an evening download. IQFeed would work but base price is like 90$ for 500 symbols real time and you add exchange fees...

    Best way to back test?

    Amibroker here. 339 for professional edition, allows for realtime data and 64 bit. Throw in Amiquote which is a tool for importing data from a few sources. Yahoo, barchart, quandl, few others, 99$. Paid data is probably the best way. Norgate offers some highly rated EOD data. They have some...

    Should i look in to options instead of stocks?

    With stocks you can simply buy one share if need be. With a broker like IB which charges a penny a share, you can scaled quite a bit down. If you rely on limit orders being visible on the book, your odd lots won’t be there but you’ll get filled.

    How much is a good Stoploss system method worth?

    Seems like a weird approach to a trade. Trades have entries and exits. The strategy should be based off both. What your suggesting is random entries work with a good exit strategy?

    Question about yahoo stock charts

    Just looked at chart. It shows a low of 51.40. If you hover over the lowest part it shows a low of 51.40 and a close of 51.60 for that 1 minute bar. If you view it with candles/bars instead of a line chart its easier to see. Line charts just connect the close of every bar.
