I know the above scenario and pure averaging down are a little different. But still, you are increasing your size/risk as the price moves against...
I'm not sure which API you are using. For example, I use the C++ sockets version. I use the placeOrder() call and one of the parameters for this...
Green means your limit order is active. Blue means your stop has not been triggered yet. When it is triggered, it will turn green. It seems...
The deadline applies to Island because it had 5 percent (or more) of the volume of QQQ, SPY, DIA in 4 of the last 6 months. Since REDI or...
I'm not sure you can get volume information that doesn't have block sized transactions in it. I'm pretty sure you can't exclude MOO, LOO, and MOC...

Can someone explain to me why the second buy is allowed in this example? I mean, either you have the cash or you don't. If you have the cash,...

The link you sent me does not tell me I cannot daytrade in a cash account. I don't want 3-day settlement since my cash is in my brokerage account...
