Hello, Whenever I place Hard-to-Borrow stocks short orders and those shares can't immediately be located, it generally takes a few hours before they become available. - Is there a trick to make IB aware of my will to short those shares at the open or in the hour after ,by for example, letting...

Is it the same with Lightspeed? If you want to enter 100 buy orders and 100 short on the same exact tickers, is it the same as 200 buy orders on different stocks in terms of "pending "buying power?

Hello, It is the first time I encounter this problem on stocks so I am clueless. What is the maximum value of pending non-marketable limit orders you can submit with TWS on a portfolio margin account? Are you supposed to have money in case every single order is filled? Does it depend on what...

I especially like the part about luck.

LOL... Remember mine is the aggregate of several strategies. I guess it is the same for others here. Some of my strategies have a sharpe between 1 and 2 but with uncorrelated diversification, we end up with much higher numbers...

If you want markets with "up crashes", trade commodities. When stocks are low compared to demand, it creates the same kind of fear for commodity commercial users as the one experienced by stock holders on market crash days. But it is a widely known phenomenon, so for example commodity options MM...

What about ARCA market data? Same treatment as NYSE stocks?

Sorry... don't know why the link doesn't work

This is so true... How did the best instruments came one on my radar? Just randomly...

Does he still have the money?

By the way, I have nothing against WS types in general even with all the greed et al. On this forum, Garachen, Newwurldmn, sle ...are the most interesting and just reading them, you feel they must be decent individuals as well, you can hardly find an insult in their posts ...

What is fun is he shares your opinions, but contradict himself all the time. He wants to quit Wall Street to pursue a "meaningful" career( which is pretty much anything with a word like bio, equitable, non-profit, durable...in it ), but tried to force his last bosses to pay him a 8 M$ instead of...

I am a bad mouth. In the next chapter he makes "hundred of millions", his best year and doesn't write a whole chapter out of it.

I am reading this book. In the last chapter I read, he lost 20 M$ in 3 weeks at Bank Of America( the biggest "up" amount 'til this chapter is an 8 M$ year AFAIK... ), and accept a job for 1M$ a year at a HF( just pages earlier he was about to become a billionaire in distressed debt at B of A...

It can be options traders who like to hedge their deltas at what will be the settlement of the day or something similar to "the hammer", the algorithm used by Optiver, for which they were fined by CFTC. They accumulated Trade At Settlement contracts during the day( at bid or ask ), and then...

Both. But I recently lost the benefit of IIP reduced fees, so outrights lately.

It was just an example. I actually haven't scalped metals since 2013, but I traded energy this year.

I mostly trade ags. I like 1/1 Risk/reward for something like 3-5 ticks. When I trade energy or metals it's more like 10-15 ticks.
