No I just input trades using Fidelity Active Trader Pro with manual entry. It does not have the ability to upload orders from a spreadsheet so there is manual labor involved if you have lots of orders. They have an API?

I suppose IBKR Pro is somehow value added for people doing complicated algorithmic execution. The way I trade however is more simple - basically I trade at the open or at the close or at limits intraday. I am not high frequency but rather I do 'frequent' swing trading. Given my vanilla order...

I've seen various reports online. Will post it when I get the chance.

Entering and exiting using identical orders and sizes. Keeping a journal of fills side by side. So far it's identical. Mind you I am doing large cap stocks and ETFs only. And no shorting.

I moved a chunk of my money from IB pro to Fidelity. I have an institutional account at IB and they said lite is not available to me. Fidelity happily opened a entity account for me with commission free trading. I have completed a significant number of trades since opening it a few days ago and...

The northeast states have CA beat on this. The taxpayer base in NY, NJ, CT has been on a steady downward trajectory over the past decade as property taxes spiral out of control. The next financial crisis will uneven across the country and certain states will all but implode. There will be...

willing to share the youtuber name?

Awww be nice to little @GRULSTMRNN. He's just bitter because he was rejected for immigration into the US, hence his extreme hatred and bitterness towards everything American. But as a consolation prize, Canuck-land gave him a residency permit. Hence it the greatest country on earth per him...

Lucky you have not been audited. You have not accounted for those pesky 'disallowed losses due to wash sale'. But your method is fine if you've made the 475(f) election.

66.1%. Over that many years, with that amount of AUM. Just mind blowing.

Over the years I've got several intraday strategies that I've backtested but shevled because they only looked with zero or negligible commissions. But now I plan to forward test them with actual $ at brokers other than IB Pro. With the return of market volatility and now the zero commissions, I...

When I left Canada 25 years ago, the taxes in the US as a whole were much lower which was part of the attraction for me. That is not so much the case anymore, particularly if you live in one of the democrat dominated blue states. But I operate with a 'pass-through' entity which gained favorable...

For the record I agree the Canadian health care system is without question vastly superior to what we have in the US. This is why I would vote for Elizabeth Warren in the hopes of eliminating private insurance in the US. As for the professional jobs, I don't have hard facts but basing it on...

I've lived in both countries for many years and here are my pros/cons based on my personal experiences: Canada: Pros: -free health care -less crime overall (but i did experience more petty crime in Canada than where I live in the US) Cons: -less flexibility in health care. For example if you...

All I ask is don't be so opinionated all the time and have an open mind. I know there's a nice guy hiding in there somewhere. My findings may turn out to be useful or not but I plan to try it. I guarantee there will be a website or two popping up in the future comparing broker fills side-by-side...

Some members on ET like to post voluminous drivel using big language just for the sake of posting or maybe to keep themselves occupied somehow.... I plan to start some tests on this stuff in the near future. Not just comparing IB Pro versus Lite but also IB Lite versus Fidelity and TDAmeritrade...

Financial advisors who are reps of large financial services firms and who recommend only proprietary products are by definition 'brokers' who get paid to sell you products. Those guys, I agree, can be less than qualified to manage your retirement money. But not all can be painted with the same...

Can't predict what's coming in the next few years. But it might be worse than 2008, maybe even 1929 because as the experts in the third video point the global economy is heading into uncharted waters with the systemic risks induced by negative rates and record high sovereign debt to GDP ratios...

No matter which country I move to, US law requires me file US taxes every year (even if the tax owed is zero). That is a bit of a pain.

Not too sure about Spain or anywhere in Europe - may not be cheap enough for my contingent emergency retirement plan. Cayman is out - it's expensive plus its in hurricane alley. I was thinking Costa Rica. Retirees can live there for $1,500-$2,000 USD per month all-in. To me that's a real...
