By then your nice return on your money market fund won't be so nice in terms of inflation eating away at it.

Is there a money market fund paying a nice return?

Inflation never left.

How have you been doing with that strategy?

I think you forgot "live with mom and dad" or "roam the streets with your laptop as an umbrella" as options in your poll.

Not generally true from my experience.

For low volume stocks, getting a 100 share fill can be a struggle. Anything to make the odds better is a plus in my book.

Just curious, do you wait for price confirmation before stepping into a situation like this, or do you start nibbling into the falling knife?

In my case, I don't appreciate being auto-pennied by robots. Any avenue that I can possibly have to eliminate this annoyance is a plus in my book.

I'm curious if the number of f*cks in your posts is related to how much money you won/lost on a particular day. You definitely have an entertaining writing style.

Hidden orders on ISLAND are native. All other "hidden" orders are simulated, i.e., it waits for your order to become marketable before submitting it to the exchange. I am just guessing that ARCA has invisible orders based on the number of times I feel like I've been pennied invisibly on that...

I have tried before to get IB to implement ARCA hidden orders because I know I'm being pennied by hidden orders sometimes. I started a ticket and I started a feature request and nothing ever came of it. This was probably a year ago. Hidden orders are the only way to combat auto-penniers in an...

In my notes to the IRS this year, I mention that there is no way I can reconcile my totals with 1099-Bs. I can sort of estimate a range of possible "correct" values from the 1099-Bs but nothing more than that. For MTM filers, the 1099-Bs are simply incompatible. And one of the main reasons to...

If he gets a notification saying his order is Expired without receiving a fill, then it seems like his broker should eat it. I would take my broker to arbitration on that one.

I love how this article blames Wall Street when the cities didn't even understand the contracts they were entering in. Who signs contracts that they don't understand except for total idiots? Blame goes to both sides.

Does it give depth of market for ECNs? Like multiple levels of bids and asks for ISLAND (NASDAQ) and ARCA (NYSE)? Last time I checked (about 1.5 years ago), they did not but they were saying that they would "soon." Also, I felt like NxCore didn't treat me that well in terms of easily getting...

Can't you arbitrarily fund your paper account with any amount of paper (money) from Account Management?

Probably stupid, but is it possible you need more money in your paper account to do the trade?

So now when the market is crashing, I can't get out of anything, whereas before I could at least get out at some price. So stocks are approaching commodity futures in terms of limit up/down days. Whoever thought of this is effing brilliant! :confused: Nothing like being trapped in a position...

It is a standard representation of zero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashed_zero
