Actually your post reminded me of a section of the code I totally forgot. Sec 1259 on constructive sales. I would imagine that such an EFP would...
That is true if you're only talking about 10K (I guess that IS the subject of this thread). If you're considering using EFPs to generate...
Yes, of course you'd generate "interest" on the full 50k -- you get part of that up front when you "sell" the EFP (well, the present discounted...
And EFP consists of two positions.... a stock position and a futures position, and both have respective tax consequences. I'm assuming you're...
I would assume that the delivery is only at expiration (and not over a span like for commodities), but I haven't read the contract specs in detail...

I have a question on commissions. I thought for < 100 contracts, an EFP is $0.50/contract all in. Yet it looks like, in TWS: 1 contract =...
I agree. I will also add that I've had much better success at getting limit orders on combinations filled at IB than anywhere else. I actually...
One other little issue is if the stock goes up, you get a short term gain, but the offset is a 60/40 loss on the regulated futures contract.......
You always assume it's the #. SecureComputing's devices don't output the letters S and O (bec it's a hexadecimal string).
Both hidden and reserve orders, if supported natively (bright green status), will rest on the exchange's order book. Any contra order will be...
The third is for API use.
I don't understand why this mailing generated the original concern voiced. But if one must ponder what the ulterior motive(s) are, then they're...
