GME has $4bn cash, 426mn shares, $9/share, now trading at $28, so ex-cash $19 per share. That can earn $200mn ($0.5/share) in treasury bonds. Who...
I fail consistently to make sense of who are trading the shares on the buy side in such gigantic volumes, given anyone including dumb money knows...
I was scared to short, now I am not
The stock is not as shorted as before and it is already more expensive for a deteriorated business. I strongly doubt he can have anything solid to...
In your trading app, how do you communicate with your DB? Do you use raw JDBC statements or ORM such as JOOQ?
By any chance, can you connect LibreOffice Calc with IBKR? I guess it only supports Excel?
Any retail brokers offer better APIs than IBKR then?
I need to deploy some MXN for fixed income. This CETETRC ETF doesn't trade......
Look at the bid-ask, FX futures are illiquid and to do two legs can cost a lot of interests. Maybe okay, if the "trade" is for 1 year, but who...
I submit limit orders on both sides frequently for some just-for-fun scalping..never had issues

I am a IBKR "pro" user and say I wanna trade standard FX carry, such AUDJPY, NZDJPY, ZARJPY, US$100k notional each pair. How can a tiny retail guy...
Right, the PL (short side) comes predominantly from mean-reverting moves (gyrations). Regarding convexity, how I see it is they are linear between...
Whatever, I don't get paid a premium to hold long or short, so there is no theta and so no gamma. Let's not talk greeks. They are delta1 products.
Your right. It is not gamma. I am confused. If held in balance, at any point in time, they hold 2-3x the underlying index, which is delta1, so...
If I am short both TQQQ(+3x) and SQQQ (-3x). To rebalance, I always buy the leg that appreciated; if QQQ goes down, I have to buy SQQQ (ie short...
I am referring to the curvature:[IMG]
That is why I call them trend-following (buy higher, sell lower), but whether such rebalancing benefits or hurts depends on the trend. When your...
