    How to market trading strategies?

    You're not the first who think he has found the holy grail system but has no money to trade with it (that's my assumption about your situation, I may be wrong).

    Is my broker's favorite market maker looking at my keystrokes?

    People complaining about MMs looking over their shoulders are probably using this excuse to explain their losses. It ain't their fault, it's somebody else fault, and they can't do anything about it...

    Do you think this is the truth about day trading?

    We can't control what other traders do. We only have control of our own trading. How other traders do shouldn't matter. Whether it's 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20% of traders that are profitable, I don't care. I care about my own profit, that's it!

    Covered call not getting assigned?

    In the US, Option Exercise is done by the clearing house (OCC), not by the broker. And Call and Put have nothing to do with each other. It's not the 'Put holder' as you say that will decide if you gets exercised if you're short call. And holding a short call position on an ITM option doesn't...

    Stop Order Not Honored

    Orders, once submitted to exchanges, are not managed anymore by the brokers. If a Stop Order is sent to an exchange, what happens to that order is no longer the broker responsibility. When a Stop Order get triggered, the broker has no control on the price it get filled. So yes, if the stop...

    Trading with the Market Makers

    Ok, then call a cat a cat. The 'Technical' definition as you say, is also the trading business definition. Market maker, Specialist, Buy-side, Retail, Prop, HFT are all different actors, each has their own definition and function.

    Daily Journal With New Model (not Technical or FundamentalAnalysis)

    Kudo for your tenacity, but obviously, 50% of winning rate on price direction prediction after 120 calls over 6 weeks, your model is not working.

    TWS shows incorrect cost basis after getting assigned

    You'll see a loss for your option position and an equal gain on your stock position (assuming that the stock price is not moving and not taken into account the time decay of your option). Your total P&L for these 2 positions will be netted as zero.
