How is this possible? I see size 329 on the bid and I hit to sell 50 call options but it doesn't get executed on Robinhood. My limit order just sits there. WHAT THE HECK? Is this illegal?? P.S. WHAT?! It finally executed about the order has held for like 10 minutes even though there was plenty...

10/30/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: $1119.00 ============== Due to my holding onto losing swing trades, it reduced my available margins. Even with that reduced margins I was able to hop onto KHC this morning and rode it for a while. It has a nice upward momo...

10/29/2019: Taxable Acct: Trade Zero ============= Realized gain: $67.70 ============== Today was busy with non-trading stuff. And my platform miscalculated my margins and thus reduced my BP and I couldn't get into positions. Ridiculous. Else I would have made $1K+ I entered 10K shares limit...

While generally true about REIF, I wasn't aware thatn Medallion was market neutral? Can you confirm that anywhere? I thought it was just absolute return not necessarily market neutral. Please correct if I'm mistaken.

Of course, now it comes all the way and I could have gotten with a super small loss or even slight profit. oh geez!

what do you mean? Like Dark pools?

I was in this illiquid stock KNSA. Bought 3500 shares which is small for me since I've been trading super liquid names where I can easily throw around 10K-30K shares. i forgot how illiquid some stocks can be. So in a short few minutes I'm up close to $1K. I'm saying OK that's nice. let's try to...

Can't imagine an executive of a big firm saying something like this in this age and time especially so publicly on Twitter. Maybe in private...

It has definitely changed for the better for me in terms of size. Before I was mainly trading futures and the occasional equities. With zero commission, I now feel comfortable swing 5K, 10K , 20K shares for pennies move. And it makes economic sense. Meaning I'm actually net net positive even for...

As always, nice parachute package for executives to tell them to leave after they fcked up the company. In this case, a $1B for screwing things up. Nice work if you can get it.
