I mainly trade the beast BIDU. Sometines GS and a few other others. I'm a small guy. I only trade 100 to 300 shares. But with Bidu going up 10 and then down 10 in a single day thats all I really need. [/B] ------------------------------------------- Imagine how much fun trading that...

Wow that was a lot of questions. I'll answer a few. When you join a JBO, or Joint Back Office, You become a limited B partner. Your money is locked up for 365 days by SEC regulation. Your money is invested in the firm, so you're commingled with all the other traders and the firm. Your NOT...

I would. You want to make sure if your not assigned they don't auto liquidate on the opening. You also want to find out when Monday you'll know.

Auto is .01. But any professional long the call will exercise. Customers might not.

Is this a cash account or margin account?

You won't know until Monday. If I were long the call, I would sell stock after hours and exercise to call. Not everyone can do that.

Sorry, one reason I can't post rates publicly is because it would be considered an advertisement by FINRA and an SEC violation unless pre-approved. Also, we don't have a set rate sheet. Every client has different requirements and needs. We tailor our rate structure to their assets, trading...

Your example, was not simple. So let's make it more simple. You like a stock and want to get long. It's a tech company with an event coming up and you feel that will be a catalyst for the next six months and that stock will out perform. You find 4 or 5 other stock you want to get long for the...

I know it's very frustrating when your tools that you depend on for trading don't work well at the time when you need them most. It is possible this is not a Sterling issue. The slow feeds can come from the exchanges, the data provider or the platform, or your connection. Have you spoken to...

If you have the newest version of Sterling Pro, when you sign in the server auto balances the load. You can't do it.

That's the problem with dealing with an online firm. They don't always communicate well with their customers. I'm not sure if you have a Reg-T or Portfolio Margin account. With the VIX this high, many firms are raising margin requirements. An example; some firms put a minimum margin on short...

I too don't think they should ban short selling. I think there is nothing wrong with requiring locates on hard to borrow stocks and a plus tick rule to stop market manipulation. However, short sellers get a bad rap.

Is there a link missing to what your referring to?

If you'd like, send me an e-mail with a description of your firm, the way you trade and what you trade, where you are now and monthly volumes and I'll see if I can come up with some alternatives. Bob rmorse@victorsecurities.com

I'm not sure if that issue is unique to Sterling. Even when I was a GSEC client using RediPlus, there were delays during high volume. Thanks for the reply.

What is happening on Sterling during busy trading?

NOTHING is ever free. Some brokers offer "free" trading platforms and "free" live quotes, then charge more than others for transactions and margin interest. Some brokers offer lower transaction fees, but use a "smart" router that is smart enough to route orders to where the broker gets paid for...
