    Lightspeed API

    If we are not a complaint, they will make us pay the NYSE non-display fee ($9000+/client) or shut down our access to their data. We have no choice.

    If he spoke to the service desk, their training is to support active accounts that require help, not sell and price out our services.

    Lightspeed API

    The exchanges are fighting with each vendor of MD to report open APIs and some are better at fighting it. I was told that IB says their MD is not real-time to the API as they not only normalize it which all platforms do but also manipulate the data to slow it down. STT was made to be compliant...

    Lightspeed API

    We offer 4 trading platforms with APIs. On the two owned by Sterling Trader Tech (STT), Lightspeed Trader and Sterling Trader Pro, we turn off MD to the API to avoid non-display fees which are more than $3k/month. Realtick and Silexx are not subject to non-display fees yet.

    Submitting new buy stop orders where my cash cannot cover all orders

    Guilty, when it makes sense. His broker does not offer margin accounts to some foreign persons and we can, so I brought that up.

    Keeping your IP at a prop firm?

    I assume you are referring to a traditional prop model, not a 1st loss/JBO. It is possible to keep your code but hard to stop them from gaining knowledge from your process that they can use in the future if they choose to. Hard to litigate too.

    Same day SPY options after 1 pm.

    You can't use leverage to buy options, so the 4X or 2X is not the issue. I do not remember if the expiring SPY options close at 4 pm ET or 4:15 pm ET. If you expect to hold expiring options after 4 pm and do not have the funds if they are still in your position at 4:15 pm, I'd have to ask risk...
