I'm familiar with Bitsquare. The mechanism for sending/receiving USD involves divulging your bank account number. The problem is that banks are obligated by law to flag "suspicious" transactions. If there's a weird pattern of deposit/withdrawal your account could be frozen until they get to...

I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm saying that the SEC will not allow companies to issue shares outside of regulated exchanges. Someone can set up a nice blockchain-based decentralized exchange with a nice GUI but you simply won't have any shares available to exchange.

That's python code calling the API. If you're not a programmer it won't mean anything to you. As far as making TWS do it without programming the best you can do is make everything day orders. At least they'll get canceled after market close.

The problem is the entry and exit points into and out of the blockchain. Bitcoin is a perfect example. If you own BTC and want to buy USD with it you have to go through a registered, regulated broker. Same with the other direction. The regulated brokers have all the same "know your customer"...

Man that's a loaded question. "It depends" on your trading volume, API requirements, where you live, etc. If you're looking for MT4 then that really limits things. If you're looking for another bucket shop then Oanda is probably the best of the bunch for reliability and transparency. I'd have...

Sorry to drop a turd in your punch bowl but consider this: Regulatory bodies like the SEC aren't going to support such a thing. To actually buy and sell *actual* shares in the decentralized market you'd have to go to the usual centralized markets like NYSE to get them The closest analog to what...

I was gonna say. Sounds to me like they've gone under and are trying to put off any complaints to regulators by saying "2 weeks". You need to blow the whistle on these guys immediately. Also, I'm dying to know what broker this is.

The Greek and Cypriot bank runs weren't due to NIRP if that's what you're alluding to.

One risk of negative interest rates is potentially triggering bank runs. i.e. storing money in mattresses - or even worse, precious metals. Interestingly this hasn't happened in Japan or Europe where NIRP is implemented. Still you can see where the Fed would be hesitant to be seen "throwing...

It's because their only realistic option to exercise control on anything is to *increase* rates. Negative interest rates are inconceivable because down that path lies madness.

You're clearly not reading enough ZeroHedge. :D The Fed doesn't have the level of control that they claim. In fact the illusion of brilliant academics with advanced degrees with their hands on the controls of a vast machine is just that: an illusion.

You might want to post a disclaimer that you're not Anthony Weiner. :D

I joined pairtradinglab a few years ago but only played with it a little. Pair trading sounds neat but I decided to pursue options trading as my main thing a while back. Really it isn't a bad website and it's mostly free. For $50/month you get access to the database of profitable pairs. But...

Is it a limit order or a market order? If it's a limit order, where is your order being placed in relation to the bid/ask?

If you're looking for cointegrated stock pairs you won't find a web site that spits them out for free. There *are* pair trading web sites that use cointegration that will provide this information for a price. If you had a database of stock price series you could do this yourself without too...

Check out John Ehlers' papers here. I found him a few years ago and his concepts are very interesting. Scroll down and you'll find a zero lag article. I also liked his Fisher Transform and Swiss Army Knife articles. *edit* oops I missed your reference to Ehlers in the OP.

My put butterflies were going cha-ching cha-ching today. :D

Reg-T in an IRA

I trade BWBs on IB all the time. The margin used is the max risk which is the difference between the widths.
