I use a service called vpsdime - no idea where the servers are but it's somewhat fast (23 ms to the IB connect node), it's reliable and it's super...
I don't like C2 as a platform (I've one of my systems published there - I feel like they're overcharging and a lot of the features are missing)....
Why would you go through this effort and not pick something from c2?
Also on commissions. btw - this doesn't have to be all in one account - if you have multiple accounts that are all linked to you/your entity this...
That’s what would make sense but that’s now how many brokers think. At td your are only qualified by size. Same at Schwab. At ib it is mostly by...
What I trade is usually liquid. My backtests assume I buy the ask and sell the bid (most stocks I trade have a penny wide spread). Then I overlay...
I like your thinking - however keep in mind that the learning curve may be much steeper and quote availability for backtesting is very limited....
The liquidity problem still exists - not so much that you may move the price - not a lot of traders on here actually have that type of size - but...
Didn't even try to sell me the data - my guess is the entry level is 100k+ Also I don't think they would offer a sample to see how valuable it...
I tried to get access to the alternative quandl data (I have two other subscriptions with them) but could not -its for institutions only (probably...
IB has a max concurrent pull of 100. Meaning you can be streaming 100 quotes at a time - however if you need more you can stop (cancel) the stream...
I use a service called https://vpsdime.com/ 15$/month gives you 4 vcpus, 12GB memory and 60GB disk. It is very reliable - have not had any issues...
IB and TOS/TD both required 100% margin on XIV on Monday during regular trading hours (and after hrs). I've PM on both accounts but even with...
Actually I'm not sure YOU do understand it. Like everyone said (knows) you'll make the same profit/have the same risk selling the 87.5 puts. You...
If and Could support great arguments. Without that wishful thinking the return it's still just 1%. Good luck on your trade though - seems like...
lol - you're funny - that's the same math - difference is that you're using 2:1 regT margin (leverage) and you're assuming the rest of the...
Not going to burst your bubble - but how again do you get to 7% in 4 weeks? The margin for the trade (unleveraged) is based on your stock - since...
I think the problem is consistency rather than the approach. I would have no problem fading a strategy if this turns a negative expectancy into a...
if you want to automate that (e.g. auto-populate a google spreadsheet) - TD also offers a API to pull this data periodically for free.
Do you trade via IB? If so do you have a US based account? I had serious issues with IB in the past (6 or 7 years ago) when I was traveling to...
