Videos are from 2005 (uploaded 2011?). Still interesting though.

I have not encountered an order type that you can't do with the API (but I could be wrong). I believe all the fields you are interested in are in the order structure you pass into the "submit order" function. Look up the API docs to double check this.

My point is that the "man" tried to manipulate prices and in the end it didn't work and backfired. This is a common theme with financial interventions - they just delay the inevitable. People trying to prop markets up need to read a little history before they go down that path.

If you recall, the US banned short selling of financial securities during the financial crisis and then the stocks really tanked. So it probably hurt, rather than helped.

That's because that is an impossibility with this paper tiger Fed.

Just because Ben Bernanke is smart, does not mean he is right. You may claim that he is more app to be right than wrong based on his background, but Greenspan, Bernanke, and now Yellen will all be exposed when this grand experiment comes crashing down.

The entire oil boom in America is because of the Fed?

I don't think you are thinking about this correctly. The Fed has allowed interest rates to stay artificially low for many many years. This allows people to borrow money at cheap prices to do things such as drill for oil. And many corporations in the USA have done that. And now the Saudis have...

I know you don't want to learn programming but a website like Quantopian or QuantConnect would make your backtest pretty easy to do. Python is probably easier to start with so I'd choose Quantopian. Plus both websites they have lots of data to use that you wouldn't have to get yourself. So it...

You are like the premium seller who thinks things are going great until it doesn't. How can you trust the Fed after "subprime contained"? They are clueless. All they know is printing money and it hasn't worked and has had huge unintended consequences (such as the price of oil). I think you'll...

So the Fed is infallible? As far as I can tell they have no clue.

My experience is that you won't see ARCA quotes unless you buy the ARCA book subscription.

I read this thread. It seems like this guy needs to escalate his question to higher ups. I sincerely doubt that he was charged interest for a positive balance, it must have been some other fee. Regardless, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me - just buy your AMSC shares back after...

Maybe save up and pay back the debt that you owe? Don't trade on margin so this doesn't happen again? Especially don't trade on margin when volatility is spiking?

Most ETFs will generate a K-1 with actual numbers on it only when you hold overnight. In other words, if you are always flat at the end of the day, you will receive a K-1 with your transactions, but the numbers in Part III, boxes 1 through 20 will be all zeros. That has been my experience after...

I agree that he sounds like a broken record, but the problem with Rogers is that he is super long term and most people can't handle the amount of heat he is willing to take. Plus, he is probably trading in and out of stuff all the time and he doesn't bother to mention his allocation levels. It...

Off topic, but I love how people bash China for trying to prop up their markets (like Jim Cramer) when last time I checked, the USA banned short selling on financial stocks during the financial crisis. They are just following our completely flawed play book on how to not let markets clear.

Ah, so you have a sixth sense in determining who is profitable and who isn't? Or maybe a better explanation is that someone is full of themselves?

You have no clue who is profitable on these boards but you tell other people they suck and you constantly have a holier than thou attitude. You are delusional.

I'm not trying to run you off so stop saying that. I'm just interested what your motivation is here since it is obvious you feel like you have some smoking gun against IB. What's your ultimate goal? Who are you working for?
