Interesting. So would you jump on and short a portfolio of these or take the other side looking for a short squeeze?

It is possible to negotiate with them if you do a lot of volume. Like a said, another support number. When I call it, I have to wait between 5 and 15 min. Same market access. Large institutional accounts will always choose a large Prime Broker like GS, UBS, Barclays etc. They get better...

The hurdle of "institutional" is not set in stone. I don't know what an account has to do to get that phone number. There are no other differences except some accounts like hedge funds get a Prime Brokerage Sales person. What else were you expecting?

I was kidding. They have a different phone number for institutional accounts and Broker Dealer.

Pudding.

IB (and every clearing broker) uses an option optimizer to pair off your positions into spreads. What is the exact positions and what is your requirement for all of SPY? To be fair, I'm more of an expert on PM than Reg-T.

For a PM account, they should look at your entire SPY position risk in total, not as the spreads you put on. If it is a small set of positions, I can run it on our risk or the OCC website and tell you what the OCC requires, and you can compare that to what IB come up with and see what their risk...

I thought the London prices are auctions that occur twice a day. The rest of the day, they are not current. That might create what you see. I could be wrong, as I don't follow SPOT prices.

I might have missed it, but is this Reg-T or PM?

That was not what you asked. Connectivity implies trading access. Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters.

This is too hard to explain this way. Call me if if you'd like. Bob

Bloomberg terminal cost $24,000/year-Two year contract. They are not going to let you execute without a clearing firm willing to accept and clear your trades. You are only looking at who has access and assume you can open an account at any clearing broker and do whatever you want. Does not work...

Nope.

Yes, if you clearing firm will allow that or you have $25mm+ to open an account through Bloomberg to where ever they Introduce to. Used to be ML.

They have to offer an API that routes to their OMS, that has access to routing to global markets. Then, they have the ability to custody and clear those securities. We spoke to Barclay's recently. Minimum account size $100mm.

If you don't want IB, you will need a big bank, and a big account, like GS, UBS etc. Is your account $25mm+
