Interesting you asked this in the "Prop Firm" forum. It would depend on the AUM of the fund, how scalable your strategy is, how the risk/reward fits into their metrics and if a multi-strategy fund, what size "bucket" you are filling. Basically, the larger multi-strategy funds will look for a...

This is CQG QTrader. The TUT December spread. Not much data. Must be new today.

No.

The entire point of a dark pool is to be dark. It is not in the public view besides the trade prints.

Honestly, I'm not sure why the DARK pool would care. They only make money when they pair off both sides.

That is the correct way to send a buy order with that tag. If not it can be booked incorrectly and you can end up with a boxed positions as buy to open is booked to the TYPE 1 CASH account for CASH accounts, TYPE 2 MARGIN account for Margin accounts buy to close offsets a short position in TYPE...

Your broker to be Reg SHO compliant is required to tag sell orders as SELL or SELL SHORT. So, I'm not sure why you are asking but yes they can.

Overnight, If approved, the CME will be able to offer futures trading directly without the need for a third-party introducing broker, FCM or trading platform. Today, they offer CME Direct, CME Direct Mobile, CME REST Order Entry API, CME ClearPort and CME DMA (iLink). When they work with a FCM...

I think many here are missing the point. The membership purchase is a long term investment that provides MUCH lower transactional costs. MUCH lower. To some, buying that membership for $25,000 can save them $25,000 to $50,000 per year or more in clearing and regulatory fees. If it does that, who...

Predicting the future value is very hard. You need to get enough value out of the lower cost structure offset by higher market data charges to make up for the risk of the investment and lower trading capital. You can always lease them and not tie up capital or have investment risk, but leased...

You should ask them. Global Command Center, GCC@cmegroup.com.

Yes, that is correct.

Lightspeed only charges borrow fees on short positions held overnight. The same for using leverage on long positions. We do not charge for debit balances that exceed your equity unless you borrow funds overnight.

I suggest you contact CME membership directly and confirm that. An IOM seat lease would cover your ES and NQ. Start with that. https://www.cmegroup.com/company/membership/individual/cme.html.

You do not need your FCM to sponsor you. You contact CME Membership, buy or lease a seat, then provide your FCM, in your case IB, your member acronym to get clearing discounts.

I did not say that. I said without option market makers, the only "NBBO" would come from limit orders placed by customers which would be either much wider spreads in many cases no bids or offers at all. And then about my comment on fragmentation, it makes it very easy for internalization without...
