What happens when your client sued and names both you individually and the LLC on the suit? Who’s paying the lawyer to get your name off the case? Who’s paying to argue that the corporate veil should not be pierced?

Good luck. Maybe DeFi stuff but definitely not without it’s own risks.

I would be careful with setting a 1.50 limit and going for a 2.50 fill at open. Liquidity can be pretty thin and spreads wide at open, so you’re more likely to sit on the book until someone realizes you set too good a price.

Stock IV is a combination of a lot of factors. How many expirations? How many strikes? Which price—Bid? Ask? Midpoint? Last trade? What risk free interest rate? Which dividend rate? Which options pricing model? If you can answer all those you will know where the difference comes from.

I’ve used Tradier in a taxable brokerage. Their API is good. https://documentation.tradier.com/

How often do you want it? You can get it straight from the OCC here: https://www.theocc.com/Market-Data/Market-Data-Reports/Series-and-Trading-Data/Series-Search

How does your spot price compare to the CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate that the contract is settled under? CME Bitcoin futures are not physically settled.

I will admit I don’t know much about this arena, but I do know you can choose specific routes for a fee when placing orders in IBKR. You can also see if their SmartRouting (for Pro) fits your needs. OP is trying to place a non-marketable limit order on the book between the spread to allow...

I have noticed this too and it drives me crazy. You probably want to use something like IBKR Pro (not Lite/commission free) to route to exchanges. Or look for a broker that advertises direct market access. You can look for Rule 606 and 607 disclosures to see what percentage of order flow is sold.

What happens in an IRA if you’re on the wrong side of a gap up or down and end up owing the broker in excess of your equity? AFAIK you can’t personally guarantee a loan for an IRA.

Thanks, that makes sense. Is there somewhere I can see a list of position closing only option contracts? Are market makers allowed to facilitate these trades?

Hi all, I want to make some trades in HTZGQ, but all the retail brokers I've tried have that symbol as position closing only. Are there retail class brokers that can trade in HTZGQ and similar modified contracts? Thanks!

If up to an hour or so before close is OK then Tradier will work. And it appears that Robinhood just added same day options.

Not Tradier and not Robinhood.

Sure, send me a PM

You don’t need to execute there, just fetch data. The data is the same as IBKR from my testing. Although I’d recommend Tradier for the lowest fee option trading anywhere.

Do you need full depth? Tradier will do around 1k streaming NBBO for free. Polygon with an Alpaca account will give you full market NBBO for free.

There was a recent Chat with Traders episode with an ex-gamer: https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-204-brian-lee/ tbh though it didn’t talk too much about actual carryovers from gaming.

You can check some assignment risk on individual positions by looking at arbitrage opportunities around exercise. Bid less than intrinsic value -> holders can’t sell for a fair value -> holders may exercise to exit the position. Put price less than call extrinsic value -> holders will exercise...

It’s been efficient enough for my use. I don’t think you’d want to use UDP outside the data center as it’s an unreliable transfer method and you can end up missing quotes and trades. The biggest thing with a source like Tradier will be that they are in AWS us-east-1 and there’s some additional...
