You're right, it didn't improve their overall returns but it did improve the returns on those specific positions for the firms involved in the rigging. Then again, after being caught and the penalties...they took a big hit. In hindsight, I'm sure the traders involved in those illegal activities...

You should always have a backup broker just in case there's a connection problem, software problem with your primary broker. Simply, if you currently do not have a broker...use both IB and TW...make one your primary broker and the other your backup broker. wrbtrader

If you're talking about a signal calling options trade alert room for options to give you advice on which option plays to trade...I don't recommend using such. Never follow specific trade advice on what to trade, when to buy and when to sell from a signal calling trade alert room unless you're...
