Craig66, I sent a response via PM.

You should also note that there are instances where a client cannot link to an advisor master account because the advisor is not registered and that addition would violate the number of clients that the advisor can manage without having an NFA registration. Aside from that there is really not...

If you account is carried by IB LLC it will contain both a "Securities" and a "Commodities" segment. This is necessary to adhere to the bifurcated regulatory structure that exists in the U.S. whereby securities are regulated by the SEC and commodities (e.g., futures contracts and options on...

BTIG, LLC is a global financial services firm specializing in institutional trading. There was an effort to offer one of their algos on our platform, however, it is currently dormant. We will delete this to avoid any further confusion. Thanks.

The disclosure is presumably for the benefit of the clients. Regulators have other means to access this information, if necessary.

Client assets are segregated from firm assets as a matter of regulation. The Canadian regulations also require that the broker further designate client positions that are fully-paid and not subject to any encumbrance as a result of a margin loan or participation in our Stock Yield Enhancement...

It means that your client has indicated that they'd like the trading permissions for their account to include commodities, however, you do not have that trading permission (presumably because you never requested it). The "c" is a designation for the commodities segment of the client's account...

Every clearinghouse, including HKSCC, has provisions to deal with member delivery fails and those provisions can include forced buy in by HKSCC. The point being made here is that we maintain a sophisticated inventory management system that makes shares available for delivery, recommends...

The shares will be recalled based on settlement projections (which may suggest we have, or will have, shares available to lend at that time) and a buy in executed if they aren’t returned. There is a chance that the buy in might not settle in time to make delivery on the closing sale, however...

This has nothing to do with the broker. Rather, it's a function of the product and the regulations applicable to your jurisdiction. In short, the EU prohibits retail investors from transacting in certain products where the issuer does not provide the required investor disclosure. See link for...

This chart provides a running total of trades, including those that have been closed. We won't reference specific trade data in this public forum, but have offered additional detail to you via PM. Note that the true accounting of all of your activity (e.g., trade quantity, price, commissions...

The ability to submit MIDPRICE orders with attached conditions is available in TWS Beta. Unfortunately, I do not have a set date as to when it will be available in TWS Latest.

I'd be more than happy to assist, however, there's not enough information to determine what is happening. If you PM me with information that would allow me to identify the order, we can check the audit trail and try to replicate.

The Latest version has been rolled back to 978. You'll need to log out and back in to access it. Obviously this did not go as intended and we apologize and appreciate your patience as we worked to address this.

Perhaps what you refer to as an "obfuscation strategy" is instead an honest attempt to answer a question where your premise is wrong. Clients do not receive FDIC insurance on any assets held in their securities account, cash or otherwise. They are eligible for SIPC insurance up to the stated...

Whether or not a particular security is hard-to-borrow or not and its cost is not constant. Again, there isn't enough information to tell you what is happening with your account. Please PM me if you'd like further assistance.

There's no enough information available to state with certainty, however, it appears as if this is a hard-to-borrow security and the borrow fee (which is expressed as an interest rate) exceeds the credit interest available on the cash collateral securing the loan. Also note that any credit...

To be fair, I wouldn't want to prejudge the veracity of the OP's statement without first reviewing the facts, which is why we made the offer. However, I've yet to see one of these claims where a non-liquidation order didn't, in fact, originate from the user or someone to whom they knowingly, or...
