BaconFat, #1-Lightspeed has a large number of clients that short-both for day trading and overnight. https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-platforms/lightspeed-trader/platform-features/ #2- When you want to sell a stock you do not own, there is a rule called Reg-Sho your broker needs to follow...

If the net value of your long stock, long calls and short calls is greater than your Net Liquidation Value, you are borrowing. Not sure what IB calls that balance.

I want to share the salesman‘s contact information but I will only do it privately. He is not a sponsor on ET so I don’t think it’s right for me to post publicly. As to your comment about my privacy and secrecy , I work for a regulated broker dealer. I have to follow certain rules and...

You have to ask the salesperson. To me, it was well worth the cost. Before I used NewsEdge v8, there were times I did not know what was occurring with a symbol until the next day. This is realtime so you will know what others know as they do. Look, if you are a part-time trader or investor...

NewsEdge v8 is not cheap. You are paying for a news aggregator so each service has a cost. I would say it starts at >$100 and can get as high as $300. If you email or PM me, I can send you my contact there. He can provide pricing and a demo to try. Before 2010, I paid for all feeds except...

NewsEdge v8 is real-time.

We have clients from many countries including India.

Look at our website: https://www.lightspeed.com/technology/trading-software/ For equities/options, we offer Lightspeed Trader, Sterling Trader Pro, RealTick and CBOE Silexx. ALL can be used for either manual or automated trading. Webtrader is not for active traders. It is HTML based and only...

I'm not following your question. We are not trying to cure cancer. We offer a choice of third-party software that targets active equity/option/futures traders that want access to US Listed Exchanges. We combine that with a choice of many routes and order types, good service and low rates. As...

You will not be looking for a US broker like my firm, as margin for day trading in smaller accounts is limited to 4X for Day trading and 2X overnight. 50X to 100X is not likely anywhere and not really a good idea. Maybe you should consider futures that have natural leverage. ES futures are about...

You are using the term DMA incorrectly. It means Direct Market Access which relates to routing to the exchanges, not the margin afforded by the clearing broker. What country are you located in? Are you looking to trade US-listed equities? Are you looking for a US broker Dealer or one not...

Not free, but worth it for a full-time trader. http://www.acquiremedia.com/products/newsedgev8/ https://www.clearslide.com/view/new/mail?iID=9Zc22vBxjdCKDzb4tnWk We can integrate this into Lightspeed Trader, Sterling Trader and RealTick so when news comes up, and you click on the symbol in...

I'm not aware of any book.

For short dated equity options, Theta and Delta are the most important. Delta is easy to hedge. Most MM will hedge out their theta with short-dated index options. Leaps have a lot of VEGA risk, but unless there is a corporate action, leap Vol does not typically change much. Delta is easy. You...

This is never the case at any broker with an SMA. You need a pooled asset, not in the customer's name.

I will tell you a clearing broker is only interested in what that symbol can do in the next few hours or days, not over years. We are all making too big a deal over this. This is a business decision they made for their business so the risk managers can keep their jobs, not to protect the client...

I'm not required to be at work this early or work from home this early. I like to do some processes early and respond to prospective and current clients that asked questions last night after 8 pm when I choose to go offline.

I start my day at around 4:30/5am ET. I do not recommend FIX but you can run one FIX server and route orders to a number of brokers on a number of asset classes.

This is the reality. IB would prefer to have very few clients short this symbol and miss out on those fees. They determined there is too much firm risk. I disagree but I do not get a vote. At every clearing firm, they have some symbol or asset class they do this with. For an account of your...
