There seems to be two concerns here. In my opinion, being concerned about your broker looking at your trading, is not something I would spend much time on. I just don't think it's common enough to be concerned with and should not effect your returns. If you have written an automated system and...

Are you asking if you can buy it at the IPO price or the open of trading on the NYSE or NASDAQ?

You can buy at the open whatever you want. Send your order only to the primary exchange.

I sent you a PM.

Assuming no added house rules, and your clearing firm provides the offsets, based on yesterday's close, $6590.00

You have to decide who you want to be protected against. I can't say one is better than another, when it comes to your concern. I would not make it a deciding factor.

We use broker neutral platforms. From that, your clearing firm gets live drop copies for risk. We get live drop copies for risk. Your DMA routes has an order router that directs the trades to an exchange. You can't protect yourself from your concern unless you own the entire process. You need to...

This has come up a lot on ET. Brokerage employees send copies of their trades to their firms. I have not heard of this being done.

This might turn into your best trade ever. ES up 18 points and SPY 212 bid.

Right now the ES future is trading up 9 points. You might get lucky. You will have to meet your margin call by selling the stock. Not sure what they will do. You should call them early Monday. Good luck...Bob

Chubby, I my opinion, CTS T4 is more option focused while CQG has a more global presence. I recommend to my clients CTS for options in the USA and CQG for just futures. We offer both.

I can't speak for UK laws, however in the USA with regard to providing SAS and coordinating co-location facilities, you don't have any regulatory requirement.

MrN and ScalperJoe are correct. If you are going to charge a fee, it is your responsibility to check to see if you have to register as an RIA. Just because a broker allows you the ability to trade OPM does not mean you don't have a regulatory requirement.

I sent you a PM. Happy to talk to you directly and discuss this.

I just called my rep at IB. He sent me to this page. Some futures offer better margin for day trading and some don't. The list is here: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=marginnew&p=fut

I'm in the process of using Midland IRA so I can open a futures account where I want to. I'm not going to trade my RothIra myself. I'm going to choose a few managers. My account will be at FC Stone but Midland Ira will provide all the filings as FC Stone does not accept IRAs directly.
