This only applies to Options.

This is a restriction from being a priority customer. Priority Customers displace firm and market maker orders. If you are competing with them, they want you to either register as a BD and be regulated or be a professional customer. Pro-customers can make two-sided markets but then even that is...

It would be better to create an add only order with a limit.

On Lightspeed Trader, you can use NASDAQ or ARCA to trade from 4am to 8pm ET. We accept foreign accounts on a case by case basis.

If you want to discuss the cost of the gateway and your trading, I will only do that on the phone or in a private email. I'd prefer a call.

We offer the Lime Trading Gateway: This is our only ultra-low latency offering. This is in a hosted environment at the NJ data centers but we can provide VPN access without hosting. This is not a retail offering. Uses C++, Java and FIX. https://www.lightspeed.com/automated-trading/#ltg_ots

please define for me "sockets interface."

Hi Craig66 - Although I like answering many of these questions publicly since I provide my direct email, I'm often surprised at the questions asked this way. We still use the OCC TIMS calculation for PM margin for day trading and add 20% to that for overnight positions for accounts under $5mm...

Not sure why you want to do this on ET. Your salesperson would help you. When you create your Hotkey or hot button, hit the pop-up button.

No. Futures do not require a 2-day settlement process. There is also no Pattern Day Trading Rule with Futures.

The -$196.70 says Start of Day unrealized P/L which looks like your loss from day 1. I do not see anything wrong.

You posted this once before and I still do not understand what your broker is talking about. Is this a US-based SEC-regulated BD? From only your information, your gross lose was $182 on day one. That does not include any fees. That is if the close on the primary exchange was $19...

Hi piyayo - I expect that Sterling can do #2 with a SMART SWIPE, see their online manual. They can also do #3, not sure about 4. #1, no. That is a conditional order and Sterling does not have those.

These orders are part of the Indicative Opening Price (IOP) but are not tradable until the open. https://www.cmegroup.com/education/indicative-opening-price-overview.html

yes.

On Lightspeed Trader, we report trades from alternative trading systems (ATS) with the market tag "ADFN". We do not have a filter to remove trades that are reported from any exchange or non-exchange. There are a lot of trades in dark pools and these ATSs, as you can see from this random screen...

Well, I did not say that. I do think it targets active options users but I liked it for futures too. I do not have an active futures account right now. At the time, I just joined Lightspeed and had more time on my hands. Now, I'm too busy supporting current clients and talking to prospective...

I used CME Direct a few years ago. I only used it for it's the ability to create options spreads that were not CME UDS and send out an RFQ-Request For Quote. I also very much liked the QUIKSTRIKE TOOLS. I did not like that it did not load or keep track of my positions, margin or P/L. Since...

If a symbol is hard to borrow, and you request a locate from Wedbush Securities, our clearing broker, those locates have no cost. If you can't get the free one, we offer premium locates from Velocity Capital with a tool built into Lightspeed Trader. That cost can vary. Your range might be...
