    Hi Everybody,

    I have a simple and profitable arbitrage strategy. Should I be worried about that the compliance officers in E-trade steal my strategy for their personal use or for Morgan Stanley?

    I also have a portfolio margin account with Schwab, but Schwab is very well-managed company and I am not worried about them.

    Thank you for your advice in advance.

    In all honesty, yes, they share your info to a specific advisor if you happen to have an account with any of their affiliates, and they share meta data with their wealth management office; I guess it’s possible but do you really think you’re better than their team of quants on their prop desk? Doubt it

    I heard that citadel is monitoring this website and with technology developed by Facebook they can link an elite trader handle to a specific brokerage account.
     
  5. The general question: ...yes they indeed sell and re-sell of of you data 24/7. And the data is looked at from many different ways..including profit ability. A small shop may eventually buy the data and front run your trades.

    But..all your data in every on-line activity is being sold and re-sold in every aspect in your life at many levels and many ways. This I am afraid, you need to get used to. I think, the only trades that cant be front run or reproduced with data mining are the spontaneous, pump and dump crypto and crypto related trades being done by the young retards. Ironically..its good to be a young american retard.

    Thank you for your insight. It is illegal, do you really think they would do that as a part of Morgan Stanley?

    By the way, my total average dollar amount of trading options per day was over one million dollars from all my brokers including E-trade and Schwab.

  9. No.
    Just focus on your first billion from your strategy and then worry about exchange counter party risk from your yacht.

  10. Is it a coincidence after eric opened his Etrade account two weeks ago? I think not!
