eurusdzn, thanks for making your mind and your good answers. One of the problems of IAB might be that many of the reps do not understand what is going on and try to avoid written answers for that reason (due to possible legal claims). The money is made here on the option (e.g. to buy the...

- Interactive brokers - I like to build bigger hedged positions (a stock hedged by an option) in relative liquid stocks and the building is not time sensitive but I want to get the best possible price. As Options have the bigger spread I want to start to buy the option on the bid and the...

if I understand right this discussion is mainly about stock (island). I would like to peg a options order (I tried peg order with "peg to stk") but I had to find out that the execution is not like I would expect and it seems to me that the order is not moved in a correct way. Does anybody...

money laundering = changing the owner of the money = non legal. Giving money to a company (with different owner structure) = changing owner of the money = possible money laundering. If money stays in the hand of the money owner (= investor, and you just get trader) there is no legal...

yes, if your order is not in the orderbook of the exchange noboday can react on it and you can not get the "hidden" opposite orders. I think this is not correct from IAB, I will read their disclaimers again if they are allowed not to submit your orders and give you worse fills. This is a...

They manipulate it. The national bid/ask would be different if they would add my order, for this reason they change/manipulate the national bit/ask in my opinion.

Hello, I am trading Options and have changed to IAB short time ago. If I put a ask limit in the system which is a little bit lower than the current best ask it does not appear in the orderbook and it is not transferred into the market by interactive brokers. The problem for me on this...

Dick Fuller Cointegration is good but very complex because you have to do several test in front. You can plan a couple of week to fully understand and even longer till you have it running. They have a very good documentation in matlab. Pairfinder is based on a old entry Level concept (cannot...

Go to one of the Brokers with a good user community, for example Esignal, Metastocks, Tradestation. Avoid the "ghetto" Metatrader Brokers.

trade2live, I am not going to start a discussion here but look into the big CTA databases like Barkley hedge or others. If you find a "CTA" claiming to run a 50 K account ask for the DDocs and you will discover that the 50 K account is not a segregated CTA account because it is simply not...
