I'm going to send you a PM - trying to keep the thread on-task.

Already there. Would certainly consider it. Please PM if it's worth taking it further.

Non-US domiciled. But in any case we're now an ECP, so that also changes things (albeit not for all venues). You had to figure that those Chicago hft shops that have become very active in crypto are doing something on the derivatives exchanges, no?

I'm not sure how it went from not scaling at the same rate, to not having scale at all. I'm pretty sure there's an appetite out there for arb strats throwing off high seven figures into eight figures, even if at that scale it's not returning triple digits on AUM. I'm leaving more on the table...

credit lines, infrastructure, support? somewhat, yes, and yes. No, not running an otc rfq. In theory an investor might have worked. Practically speaking, I'm looking just as much (or more) for these things above that you've mentioned than capital, so an investor that's not in the trading...

Completely agree. I didn't mean to suggest that it would be.

I run a small operation making markets in crypto along with other market neutral strats. Over the last four months, we've been up low 7 figures (without having long/directional exposure). There is significant additional scalability to what I'm doing, and I'm looking for a partnership with a...

Seems I should clarify... I've built out a stack over the last few years, with a number of developers - some that I've employed and some contracted. I'm looking to grow, or at the very least, be better staffed and overall better positioned for running current operations. Rather than try and...

More grey-box, then black-box.

I'm considering getting 'seeded' by an existing prop firm or HF. Much more than access to capital, I'm looking to gain operational support (especially additional dev resources). Admittedly, to really scale, I'd need additional capital - but if it were just the money, I could go about this...

There was a guy who came on here one or two weeks ago talking about how he got margin called while he was en route to Cancun or Cabo (or whatever) without cell reception. The market gapped open, and he wasn't aware of his margin call until some 12 hours later or something. He came on here...

How are the buying power considerations (margin obligations or whatever) handled for firms making markets in equities and quoting in dozens (perhaps hundreds) of names? I don't have experience in equities, so I'm working with the assumption that pending orders would indeed take up available...

Frameless is a slight misnomer, because even frameless (at least in the mass market) has a very small frame - just that it's comparatively much smaller. It's probably most important for multi-monitor setups - when a larger frame becomes a big pain.

I’m shocked nobody else pointed this out: Nobody at IB could get it together so the thank you note could correctly distinguish between the ‘1 year(s) ago’ people and the ‘15 year(s) ago’ people. Obviously, IB really appreciates you and the year(s) that you’ve been a client!

In my experience, having gone through the process last year for a jumbo loan, this information is wrong. Really wrong. To use capital gains/investment income to qualify for a mortgage, Fannie Mae guidelines, require two years worth of tax returns demonstrating the amount of income needed to...

Without knowing the feed or platform you're looking at, it's hard to say for sure. However, one reason this can certainly happen is a change in the TOB quantity.

Where?

In one part of the email they've basically indicated just as you're saying. But in the next sentence they say all gateways are being affected (albeit, intermittently). So...for marketable orders, roughly 99% of your orders are being filled in <500μs? We're trading mostly in different product...

Thanks for your message. Just to be clear... Our broker's TKAM at DB DB meaning Deutsche Boerse. So...that is someone that works for Eurex telling us that it's an issue on Eurex's end rather than our broker's. We don't doubt that...what we're suspicious of is this: is it really something...
