TD Ameritrade 24 hour etf trading

I have seen this article on CNBC is it really true u can trade the spy etf 24/5?https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/22/inv...k-market-24-hrs-a-day-with-td-ameritrade.html

 

Didn't see any mention of the pool of buyers and sellers. Limited to TD's clients only? Some alliance with other brokers?

 

True, but only on the long side.

 

I can’t go short ? How does it work.

 

The same way as always, by placing a buy order.

 

find a real firm. this policy says a lot about the firm.

 

%% I see your point; but they do answer the phone , well. Even IB says get 2 brokers. Thanks.

 

%%
Lot of ways to do that;invererse ETF also. He also may have meant like General K Haggerty, who invested much time on Fidelity trading desk/elephant herds+ said ''you dont go around in shorts in a bull market''LOL. SPY, QQQ is in an uPtrending bull-market ; but GE is in a bear market, 1 year ,3 years, 5 years+/. NOt a prediction ; 5 years+/ means 5 years more or less

 

if a broker's systems go down they are unable to answer a flood of incoming calls. what difference does it make.
if you have SIPIC issues on your mind you have too much in the market.

 

Do other firms offer this option?
