Which setting is that? I've been trying to find but failed.

Been doing that all the time. Thanks but not working.

When I launch TWS, the alert page will be launched by default. This is very irritating and I have been googling to find out how to remove it but cannot find the solution. Can someone here help?

Not sure if you encounter this. Sometimes, I find funny spikes in IB data sometimes. It is not high quality enough.

I find 1 year of data is too short, especially if trading in daily time frame. Maybe good enough for trading by the minute time frame.

Exactly. Some people feel shame and humiliation to take unemployment benefits from government, even though it's free money from taxpayers. Some people are more than happy about taking free money from taxpayers despite being able-bodied to find a job without much difficulty. The economy will be...

Something is seriously wrong if CEO doesn't know about such a huge, concentrated exposure to one single customer.

Good to have IBKR representative here. May I ask does IBKR extend extra wide leverage to its bigger clients like family office and hedge fund? Bill Hwang's banks lend so much to him until they die together.

I know IBKR has strong risk management through auto-liquidation process of clients' portfolio who take on too much margin. However, auto-liquidation is not effective if the client positions are huge and concentrated. A good example today is Bill Hwang who is going to blow a big hole in a number...

Good news to OP. I asked the same question posted by OP to IBKR helpline. They have confirmed that cash in IBKR Singapore account is not subjected to U.S estate tax. If you want to be doubly sure, you can ask same question to IBKR helpline. Clients using IB HK or IB Australia can ask the same...

I don't have special insights. What I'm going to say is obvious. Main cause of Bill Hwang's blow-up is too much leverage. What surprised me about the leverage is why did multiple prime brokers extend him so much leverage that all of them died together? Shouldn't there be some established risk...

Some people shun the unlimited risk that comes with writing options unless it is a covered option.

Do you think shorting index futures is cheaper than buying deep-in-the-money index put options, assuming the account holder has a large capital?

Would using deep-in-the-money options solve the problem of theta? Any problem with that method?

2 instruments that come to my mind to hedge against stock market crash are options(buy puts) and futures (short index futures). Let me know if you know of others. Question to elitetraders here ... which instrument is your preferred one for hedging against stock market crash? What are the pros...

Apologies if this sound like newbie question. This fund bought put options which should make them a lot of money when the market crashed during the peak of the Covid virus season. Yet, the fund lost so much that it has to be liquidated. How can selling off too rapidly cause put option strategy...

Can someone explain what does this article mean? My understanding about repo is that it is a very short-term debt market. What has it to do with 10year treasury bonds which is long-term debt?

18k is hard to achieve if time frame is daily. Possible for minute timeframe but I doubt so for daily timeframe.

I agree. Backtesting must cover both bull and bear market periods for results to be valid.

Previously, I asked a question about number of years of backtest required for results to be trusted. On second thoughts, I think that was the wrong question. I think the right question would be what is the minimum number of trades in a backtest, not number of years, for backtest results to be...
