With DMA I agree. "SMART" routes can be option dark pools or have an OMS that will not take liquidity on exchanges that charge too much. There are too many variations with option brokers. We have no idea what his situation is.

Not that simple. If the bid in on ARCA and you route your order to PHLX, there are delays that can allow a MM to move.

It would help to know the broker, route and symbol. I'm not getting those complaints with our software and routing.

100 shares of SPY is 10 delta of SPX.

You can use an SPX option that has 10 delta. That way all your positions are 1256 contracts. I would keep this simple.

Can you expand? What is a "history fee." when you say "account provider", do you mean your broker? BATS Fee schedule. Looks like it changes very often. https://www.bats.com/us/equities/notices/fee_schedule/

I have never used it. I don't have high expectations from a mobile platform. I think they're great if you can monitor your orders and your P&L and adjust prices on orders in your order book. . Anything else will never be as good as a desktop platfrom.

Are they a prop firm or broker offering futures accounts? What FCM do they use. On a side note, I have a client using CQG QTrader which come with CQG-Mobile. He is very happy with the Mobile and almost never uses QTrader.

How does that make your account safer? Your account is not effected by their losses.

If you lose more than your account value, you are responsible for those losses. Whatever your broker can't recover from you, they are responsible for.

Got it. I assume you are familiar with the pro-customer rule. You can easily hit 390 orders per day with an automated option platform like Actant. Love their scripting but hate losing customer priority and the extra cost of pro-customer. You might also be subject to non-display market data fees.

Why Actant? I used them for market making. Are you going to vol trade or make 2 sided markets?

I'd be happy to discuss this. Send me an email, not PM, with your name and contact information and I'll give you a call Monday. Bob

That was an old question. We spoke after that. I'm going to talk to my firm Monday when I'm back in the office about a proposal for your clients. I've been out for 2 weeks.

Happy to have a conversation to explain. You can't compete this way as customer.

This is backwards. Customer go in front of firms.

What general style of trading do they teach? Or is it a service that recommends trades?

Is this a PMA or Reg-T account? What did Option HOuse used to offer? In a Reg-T account, we offer Reg-T margin. In a PMA, we Shock VIX options -25%/+200% for risk. That loss must be less than your equity. Bob

What does this feed cost?
