I understand why a stock going into or out of a Russell Index on the upcoming rebalance day would have a volume surge, especially on the close. But for stocks staying in the Russell 2000, there still seems to be a big surge, even for stocks that have not moved much during the previous year...

four tenths of a cent a share IF one uses their flat fee $5 per trade (new flat rate as of today), no diff if one uses their per-share pricing as I unfortunately seem to need to do because I direct route a lot

I tried it today with 100 shares and it did NOT go to the primary exchange (NYSE) and it executed at 4:00, not 4:02 when the NYSE closing cross occurred. Happened to be the same price, but that's random. So I guess I'm stuck with direct routing.

In Tradestation, if I route an equities order to Intelligent and specify a duration of CLO (on the close), will my order always receive the PRIMARY EXCHANGE's closing price? I asked Tradestation this, and they said they couldn't guarantee it (they recommended routing to the primary exhange if I...

Stocknod.com is now updating correctly and includes the data for the previously missing days. Thanks to all who posted suggestions.

Thanks, that may help. I'm still hoping for a quick tool. Stocknod takes about 10 seconds; I hate it when things that worked no longer do.

Barchart looks like a good source, but I often like to look at a table rather than a chart. Barchart does have great table info for the last 5 days (or 5 weeks or 5 months, but not daily within that). Thanks.

Until last week I was using stocknod.com to get daily historical prices including percent change. But for some reason the data there now stops at 9/26/16. Anyone have another source? Note: Even a dollars and cents daily change without a percent change figure would be helpful. Since each...

Thanks, Tiddly, that's a better solution than what I was thinking of.

Tiddly, that IRS pub says: "If you close the short sale by the 45th day after the date of the short sale (1 year or less in the case of an extraordinary dividend), you cannot deduct the payment in lieu of the dividend you make to the lender. Instead, you must increase the basis of the stock...

In 2012 I shorted a stock where I had to pay $100 of dividends in lieu. I held the short position for less than 45 days, so I need to adjust the cost basis upward. Here's my question: I'm guessing that in column (f) I should put O, in column (g) I should put 100, and I should attach an...

If a CEO files a Form 4, the reaction can be huge within less than a minute. I don't play in that league, but I still try to get the info as soon as I can so I can understand why my stock is going up/down.

Billy, if a company makes a filing a 10 AM, I generally get a 10Kwizard email before 10:05. How long does it take via rss? Thanks.

I've been using Morningstar Document Research (aka 10Kwizard) for years to get real-time email alerts for SEC filings on my stocks, including Form 4 insider trades (and all other filings for these stocks). My subscription is up for renewal today, and they're now charging OVER $400 A YEAR. Does...

@stock777: yes, sometimes I'll buy at the offer -- but if I want to buy at the bid and someone wants to sell it to me there, it's not fair (if fairness matters) for an institution to swipe that buy for a hundredth of a cent. @zdreg: I feel very lucky to be griping about this stuff and to have...

Bob, thanks for the link. I never realized how common the practice is.

My stock buy order was the only one at the inside price (bid $17.10, routed to Nasdaq, thinly traded stock). Then I see an execution (as per Tradestation time and sales) of over 1000 shares at $17.1001 on TRF (FINRA's Trade Reporting Facility, apparently). Earlier today I routed an order to...

I often use IB's Iceberg orders and Tradestation's "Show Only" orders for stock trades. Are there any other brokers that have similar capability, and/or any front end software for IB (or other brokers) that support it? Thanks.

There's a Tradestation feature I'd like to duplicate in Interactive Brokers' book trader but I haven't found a way to do so. In Tradestaion's Matrix window, I can enter a limit order and then change that limit by dragging to a new price. Importantly, if the new price makes the order...
