    Are you asking about the IPO itself or trading after?

    They must print on an exchange but the rules allow them a large amount of latitude to get those printed. Some are all dark and some use an RFQ, then post to an exchange. The one IB uses is all internal until their algo calculates it is tradable, then routed to an exchange. Tmberhill would...

    The exchange Complex Order Book displays your bids and offers to all that have access and provide price discovery. An option dark pool hides your orders from the exchanges and other customer orders and shows the order to just a small group of market makers and other customer orders that hit that...

    What is the cost of applying IPO with IB?

    How was I to know that you were not asking about the US markets? I'm also not aware of IB ever being part of the selling group, so buying the IPO is not likely, You will have to trade after it is listed and publicly trading. The first few days, it will be hard for IB to provide leverage on...

    Ask ETrade where your order is sent, to the COB on an exchange or an option dark pool. Our option spreads go to a MM group, I have no idea which one, but rest on an exchange exposed to any public order sent to that exchange and where any other MM can trade with them. We can also offer DMA option...

    Seems like it would be easier to just use a limit that’s just one took further away.

    Classification of "professional" on IB

    Is there any place where I can look at all the buys and sells for the forex market

    If you want a regulated FX market with price discover, you will have to focus on FX futures. You are not going to get that with the other FX platforms that are all fragmented.

    What do you mean by closing fills? Why is it different than "open fills". I assume these are option trades.

    Classification of "professional" on IB

    This is not an IB thing. In general, an account of a "natural person" is non-pro. Any entity of any kind or anyone with an RIA, CTA is pro market data. https://ibkr.info/node/2369

    A 2-3% Correction Could Wipe Out Most VIX Short Sellers

    For myself, at my age, I have chosen to focus on hedge funds and CTAs that have little correlation to the market. In addition, I keep a block of cash in 1 year CDs for safety. Then I buy 4 week T-bills direct from the treasury so I have just enough “cash” to cover a few months needs. I have no...

    A 2-3% Correction Could Wipe Out Most VIX Short Sellers

    In my experience, that hedge does not work. You will basically lose money on the hedge every month we don't go down substantially, When we do drop, what is the exit strategy? If you don't take losses on your diversified passive portfolio, you will likely never take the profit on the hedge. I...
