The old (pre 2007) uptick rule applied to the opening cross (I had more than one short go unable on the open due to the old uptick rule). It...
An ATS logged on under the combined account userid it will get fills & account information for both accounts. If the ATS is designed for one...
My gold card will no longer turn on. It's about 2 months old and has only been sitting on my desk.
I stopped submitting orders more than 3% away from the last just before the exchange's MOC deadline. If that hadn't worked I would have sorted...
You've got that right. On Nov 15 IB started rejecting good after orders with times within 60 seconds of the close (emini sp and presumably other...
I also like IB's strict account controls and I don't object to this particular limit when it is well implemented. As I pointed out in my original...
On Nov 27 I started receiving order rejections with this message "the sum of the risk of the outstanding orders likely to execute is greater than...
I spent a significant amount of time trying to get historical option's data cleaned. They give you whatever data they managed to collect just as...

Jreality, thanks for the explanation. I've learned a lot about wash sales this week and it doesn't even apply to me since I've took the...
This is the first year the IRS requires reporting the cost basis. I've found what appears to me to be three glaring errors in mine. 1) In my...
It does vary wildly. Some times there's big volume with little price movement from close to open, which I assume is some sort of prearranged...
That's what I'm trying to understand. If I can get a snapshot of the order book as it existed at the time of the cross and if that snapshot...
I want to measure the impact different order sizes would have on the opening and closing cross price. For example, the opening cross volume for...
