Junk bond trading with IB

That bond isn't quite a junk bond, is it?

Probably kind of difficult to do without being a firm offering quotes/receiving requests for quotes etc. but maybe so idk. There's always money to be made of course.
 
Lol not doubting the potential there. Awhile back I remember reading about some firms getting into the space because there is a ton of potential. Go for it, if you can find them mispriced relative to a value you calculate or if you can sit on them and be the best bid/ask I'm sure you could make some serious coin as the spread is usually decently wide on most. Might not make a huge difference to someone buying the bond to hold, but to you could be some good money with enough.

Go for it!
 
I don't think it's possible to market-make bonds on IBKR, I do occasionally enter orders there and there are constant trade troughs and non-honoring of quotes. Basically the bond market structure is one giant scam against the little guy. I basically will put in a bid for $101, and it'll trade $100 on ten separate occasions without me getting a fill. Maybe somebody has some order type hints, but from my current perspective, it's a waste of time.
