You are completely wrong with your assumptions. FX, taxes, and commissions of a long term investment in Korean stocks are literally negligible...
I don't know because I never tried the book trader, but I doubt. Why would they display only the indicative quotes in the portfolio and other...
I am with IB. IB lets you trade native spreads, but sadly doesn't display the native quotes. That means you are trading "blindly". At least that's...
Do you know which of the other brokers display native calendar spreads?
Better somewhat higher currency spreads or fees, than no access at all. I am a big IB fan, but had to move part of my assets to Boom as I wanted...
I am using IB and I have not found a way to see quotes or charts of futures calendar spreads (roll of front month to back month). Likewise, I have...
Is the better fill quality somehow quantifiable? How much it matters also depends on the trading volume. I'm a big IB fan, but there are 2 things...
Sorry I'm not sure about points, as I only sell box spreads, which I think basically trade as a whole on interest rates and not on points, and as...
Exactly! You exactly re-phrased my concern and my question. If I could view the order book, I think that problem would be largely eliminated, as...
I'm not understanding anything, not any one half sentence, of what you are saying in this or your previous comment. If you are questioning the...
I respectfully disagree. Let's make an example. For simplicity, let's use implied interest rates instead of price quotations. I don't know what...
Thank you FSU. I understand I can reverse-engineer boxes from the times and sales. But I want to trade against resting box limit orders. I think...
Thanks. But there must be an underlying data feed with an associated cost that CBOE sells the data feed for, independent of the software that...
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but can someone please educate me how to see the COB (complex order book) of SPX options? I heard that they...
What I do is I create a new box on the same day that the old box expires. The SPX options settle to cash on the day after the settlement price is...
Ok so the quickest way that I found is this: 1. Open Strategy Builder; 2. with the mouse, move each leg from the Portfolio window to the "Trading"...
I just tried and it works, thanks! But this is one of the biggest insanities that I've seen so far. I have to manually replicate each leg as a...
In my TWS the Liquidate Last is greyed out for both my SPX option box spreads, and for the individual option legs. Is anybody here able to set...
Is their tax reporting (tax cost basis) at least correct when they mess up with the cost basis? I never checked, but maybe I should. You can...
Is it possible that IB does not allow submitting orders of packs and bundles? I can't believe it.
