How do you know that for sure?

Good point. No, clearing doesn’t affect execution, but may affect margins and locates.

Sorry, I just didn’t scroll far enough. So it says 2015-2016. So I guess it means they are clean now :).

Can you provide a link please?

What year was this for 2012? That was different times back then. The regulations are more strict now, so you should be ok. I know these things leave a bad taste, but in reality, if you trade manually (or automated but non-collocates), it matters very little. This is because he takes liquidity...

One of the problem that these kind of strategies have is buying power. You can't exceed buying power when placing orders, so you can't just throw 10000 orders in the market and see which ones fill. So I guess you need Option #1. And you need fine grained real-time market data coupled with...

Then you use LOO (limit on open) orders. So, buy if stock is down 10 percent or more. Place limit order 10 percent away from yesterday close

Someone already mentioned that you need to place MOO (market on open) orders prior to market open. And then MOC (market on close). I ran something like that with IB where I simply loaded the orders from my spreadsheet into TWS - no coding required. Don’t over complicate things for no reason.

You don’t have to assume, you will have to use market orders because you will not be able to get market data for 2000 stocks at the open (at least not accurate enough for placing intelligent limit orders)

I, a fellow IT guy, feel exactly like below. The ability to work remotely and being able to trade is a godsend.

I don’t see what the issue is. Delivery job is for exercise, trading (mostly waiting) is for extra income, and main job is for stability. Sounds perfect.

Where are you getting your data feeds from?

No doesn’t sound legitimate. Most likely TDA screwed up and blaming others. You should use DMA brokers if execution quality is important. PS nobody is obligated to you ever, you trade at your own risk

If you could choose where to live in Florida (no schools or luxuries needed), where would you live?

Yeah I have positions I have been holding for 20+ years, don’t want that capital gain :)

Yeah, there are spotted owls everywhere. Speed train to Florida would be nice though (from NYC)

Anyone can comment on IB’s handling of position transfers via ACATS? Will the cost basis be preserved? I am a bit scared dealing with IB support for this. Automated Customer Account Transfer Service (ACATS) Description US Broker to Broker position transfer system. Requests to have your cash...

if this happens, which “new city pairs” are most likely to be connected? Will we live to see it? Japan has a great rail system, would be nice to have similar. “Invest in reliable passenger and freight rail service. The nation’s rail networks have the potential to offer safe, reliable...

Yeah but now I have no one to question what you are posting. Signing off.
