We have received an email today from a customer in Singapore of TDA that are being asked to move their accounts as TD Ameritrade no longer serves Singapore Retail clientele. No other broker can offer TOS but we at Lightspeed can offer Lightspeed Trader, Lightspeed Web&Mobile, Sterling Trader Pro...

it was a typo, I updated it. No routes “accept”market orders outside regular trading hours. QUOTE="ironchef, post: 5886872, member: 485947"]Robert, you were wrong

No routes accept market orders outside regular trading hours. Too much risk of bad fills. Thank you for the response.

On SSE, what are trading hours for equities? I think TDA starts at 7am et for most securities.

Thx

What is SSE?

I heard a large block of retail customers were moved this weekend. I'd love to hear some feedback from those that liked TDA and now are at CS.

This is on the TDA website. Looks like Charles Schwab needs TD to offer PMA. Does that concern you if you have an account here? "However, if you're interested in trading futures and forex products, or using portfolio margin, we recommend that you open a TD Ameritrade account for the best...

What makes you think a proprietary trading firm does not need to follow exchange rules?

You are correct. Most of the time, entering a limit 10% away from last sale is silly. The one exception is when a stock comes out of a halt. The last sale can be $10, but it might re-open at $25. Some systems will block a limit order to buy at $25. I believe on Lightspeed, we would accept a LOO...

It is not my place to consider the correct way to avoid gap prices.

This is a regulatory requirement to help prevent obvious errors. I think in general the rule is 7% outside regular trading hours and 10% in regular trading hours. We have no choice be to put these in place.

I don't follow. The future changes in price too and is leveraged so added risk. And, pay no interest.

I assume you know that the value of the bond changes as interest rates change and long bonds can be volatile. It is not a riskless trade.

That is an interesting call from a trader in the EU. Not only are you betting on the equity market going up and 10 Year rates dropping or staying firm, but you are also betting on a strong USD vs Euro. If this is a large bet, do you hedge your currency risk?

Me too.

All kidding aside, 1256 Contracts are not better for every manager and the same for leverage. Many managers have a longer term outlook, not looking for any short term gains. Then they can do tax harvesting. I have no idea what Return stacking is. I'll have to look that up.

Winning strategy.

Unfortunately, that is not true. The OCC uses the TIMS method. Some broad based indexes provide offsets but there are no offsets for say AAPL vs MSFT. All Options vs that symbol are used to calculate max loss for the requirement of that symbol. Your broker can be more restrictive, but not less...
