IB FINRA Broker Check. Go to P54- 55. Then P125-126. These"might" be reasons why they are having issues in Australia with regulators.

Cool. It might be the Nasdaq Itch 5.0 feed. As you know, we have a full IT team for the gateway. Not where my expertise lies.

I’m not an expert on data feeds. I know the CME has L3. I did not think each ECN or exchange sold that data. What would that feed be called from CTA or any equity exchange? Do you have a link?

To my knowledge, there is no L2 where you can see you place on the book for equities.

The OCC, in a PM account, determines the margin requirement by examining the loss incurred from either -15% or +15%. They use their own option values and skews. Since the OCC knows that is too general to cover market risk on all symbols, they expect clearing members to have a process in Place...

That general statement might be true. There are too many variables for me to confirm that without a specific example. Broken spreads and any ratio spreads are much better with PM.

Not in a portfolio margin account. The requirement would be the loss from a 15% shock-equity options, plus any risk add ons from your clearing broker.

You are calculating return on margin. That is an important value. Do you do the same math in a PMA? Now the return on margin is higher. I’d say this a good metric, but can get confusing when two people do the same spread but have different types of accounts. Then they have a different return...

I agree.

I'm not trying to get you to switch. I understand why you want that rate. Now I would like to show you why no broker will offer you that. 80K per day is around 1.7mm per month*.0003=$510 in gross revenues per month before all costs of doing business including variable costs like...

I'm very comfortable with a fair amount of my own and family money in a Wedbush Futures Segregated account without SIPC. I don't give it a second thought. But I also ran a business as a BD for 25 years with zero SIPC protection and paid SIPC dues!

No we don't. We focus on US Listed Equities, Options and Futures.

IMO, max profit is never the theoretical max. No one lets these spreads go to expiration, even with cash settled indexes. There is a point you will want to exit. You should figure that in to educe your max.

Try contacting Sterling Tech-https://www.sterlingtradingtech.com/products-and-services/platforms/stt-fusion/ I don't think they have a free demo.

No, no retail or institutional broker is going to offer you 2 mils unless you are a BD and offering a ton of volume. Just curious, what % of your Profits do they take? Do they have other costs that you would not have to pay with a customer account that are material?

The long/short portfolio can offset risk but not margin. I can't speak to the statement " I don't want to trade much money at the very beginning," as that will limit you. alos, Realtick is not free. I can tell you that we offer RealTick which has a server-side pairs trader...

"SIPC on Equity/option accounts" Futures are in a seg account as required by NFA/CFTC Rules. Not a hybrid, no sweep account. You need two accounts to trade both. Both must be applied for and funded independently, When you say "PM rates", are you referring to leverage or debt interest.

FYI: at Wedbush futures, we can offer: Cash, Reg-T, Portfolio Margin and Futures SIPC on Equity/option accounts What to try a demo? https://www.lightspeed.com/demo-request/ Bob
