Trading derivatives in TFSA on Wealthsimple through real time exchange. What a fkn recipe for disaster, you need to up at least 10% to break even for every single trade. I’ve warned my Canadian fellow hundreds times on here. Please stop donating money. Use IBKR, Webull,.. or if you’re American use Robinhood. Jfc
ZION PUTS IBKR long(er) calls STLD CALLS
In the capacity I've seen AI it's been trash. Robinhood and IBKR both use it for stocks and it's worthless, if they have customers following it's advice they will probably be homeless and not customers any more and Morningstar uses it for stocks their analyst don't cover, again complete trash might as well not exist all it does is look at ratios and formulates garbage. Ibkr AI bot instructed me to submit a 3rd duplicate ACAT when what was needed was the 2nd to be pushed through which was done by a human. I think they are trying skip right to replacing labor with it vs using it as a tool to help their labor which I do think AI is capable of.
I also bought GLD calls, I would buy stock but IBKR wont let me... Lets fly together
I see it in IBKR as SCPCF pink, 0.3$/share
IBKR has it listed. I think we’ll see levels from 2020
Try IBKR they do and it’s good
XYZ (20% of portfolio) and AMZN Then, Japanese real estate companies (non rural residential, so unaffected by the population decline): $2970.T, $3498.T, $2998.T, $3482.T Most people can’t even buy them with their brokerage. You need a brokerage like IBKR that does international. Japan and especially Japanese real estate is accelerating out of one of the largest financial bubbles in history. It’s the definition of value investing.

IBKR uses a 'minus' for credit rollings
I don't own. But relatively recently(maybe 6 months ago) many of them started being available on IBKR (before that they were prohibited for purchase).
Great, good tips. Have ran a simulation h IBKR and you’re right about the amount of capital restriction. Thought they’d want more
To that rando, weird Bulgarian guy who argued with me - did you get your answer now about IBKR? Look, I'm not gonna spoon feed you people. Gotta show some basic research skills. Ok?
The available shares are only the ones on IBKR, it means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
I feel IBKR is better for normal use 99% of the time but for random shit like system reliability/uptime, services you need to speak to a real person for, questrade absolutely blows IBKR out the water, and I'd rather pay QT's much higher trading fees for that since I usually just swing trade
IBKR is the only option here, imo.
what broker is your non degen account with lol, IBKR? afaik these are the only 2 brokers in canada worth using
Nearly no institutional investors. But basically these are the three screens I look AT in IBKR 😂 My conviction goes higher if I see >60% institutional investors 😊 Btw, you should take a look at $GPUS in ibkr for these screens. Let me know what you think
IBKR doesn't let me which has been good for me
Choppy trading also implies smaller fluctuations that are difficult, to near impossible to trade, especially when a complaint is made about it. It has been a year with a lot of action overnight. That's one of the reasons I prefer trading SPX instead of SPY, since global trading hours on IBKR means being able to trade SPX options outside of regular hours.
It's almost 2 million but average is 700k on IBKR
Up faster cmon. IBKR gonna close my calls soon
Keep messing with IBKR you should be able to buy a similar fund or a fund that tracks it like CSPX or VWRA
Why is NEM showing a day change of +15.3% in my IBKR?.. that's definitely not right
IBKR has it. But I did some DD and found major red flags for a long-term investment in this company. Despite a small float (c. 45mil according to multiple sources), they have the option t issue up to *seven and a half billion shares*. They've also been screwing around in the field for twenty years without achieving anything.
There's a few. IBKR is one of them. Depends where your from
I can’t see it in IBKR. What am I missing?
Yep, from 7 AM until 9:15 AM. IBKR is even better, with 24/5 trading.....but you have to follow /ES tickers and cross-reference the options chains pricing from other sources if you don't want to pay for the extra services on their site.
Lesson learned. Nevertheless, my stop losses in IBKR do not go through. Do you know why this happens? I am new to this. https://preview.redd.it/q60q2014envf1.jpeg?width=725&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=007f1113521ff63081956e5bd7c0e6bc656544cd
You should look into XND and buy higher delta options. It might result in you making more money. The delta is quite low on $1000 ndx options unless you’re doing it like at 3:00 PM EST close of markets during the last hour. And now that volatility is up like crazy too, you’re stuck with probably not being able to afford great options. My other advice would be trade futures options. They’re the same price you like and capable of being worth an astronomical amount. Plus there’s no PDT to worry about. I used IBKR when I traded them.
Just windering what brokerage your using/recommend. Ive been using IBKR but recently withdrew my cash as they dont allow trading on a lot of penny stocks ie. YYAI ect. You seem knowledgeable and was wondering what you use because Ive gotten a plethora of answers.
What brokerages/platforms do yall recommend? Ive been using IBKR and like it overall pre/post market orders filled always even overnight orders. But Ive ran into one issue which is they wont allow me to purchase certain pennystocks like YYAI was one of them. What do you guys recommend. Probably going with robinhood but after using IBKR it looks to barebones for me I liked all the data IBKR provided. Was thinking of moomoo but they dont offer overnight trading in the US which is a downside for how volatile these pennystocks can be albeit most of the big movements happen in regular trading hours or pre/post market.
Yes, first get the third party token number in your IBKR account, then add that number to your Yahoo account.
But 75 minutes before 4PM seems a bit premature? I can see them closing it maybe 5 minutes before 4PM? Maybe 15 minutes? Also, SPY trades until 4:15PM? So I think IBKR closed it almost 1 hour early?
I had a bad feeling of my IBKR calls after the downward momentum. -10% after good earnings. This is the risk of calls near ATH.
Or don’t do 0dte, near the money ICs. Your risk is so high that you are almost ready to be closed out when you open it. Not quite, but very little room to maneuver and that make the IBKR computers nervous. They don’t know whether you are paying attention, they just know they don’t want to risk it.
Look at a 1-minute chart at about 2:37. SPY, which had been on a downward trend since about noon touched 651 for a low, ATM for your short position. No doubt that triggered the risk management folks at IBKR and they (or a computer) closed you out. That's all carefully explained in IB's DISCLOSURE OF RISKS OF MARGIN TRADING document. [https://ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com/Universal/servlet/Registration\_v2.formSampleView?formdb=1005](https://ndcdyn.interactivebrokers.com/Universal/servlet/Registration_v2.formSampleView?formdb=1005) You need to familiarize yourself with IB's risk management criteria and monitor you position a little closer in order to avoid these kinds of occurrences. And/or go with a cash settled options like XSP or SPX.
Even if your spread is “fully covered,” like a 657/656 put spread, there’s a temporary risk window where IBKR might have to finance your position. 👉 Example: • SPY = 656.50 • You’re short the 657 put and long the 656 put • The max theoretical loss is $100 (the spread width) But here’s the key: • The holder of your short 657 put can exercise it at any time. • However, your long 656 put is not automatically exercised until the end of the day (or until you manually do it). • That creates a brief moment when you’d effectively be short 100 shares of SPY, requiring over $65,000 in buying power.
Rough ride in these speculative SPACs, with all the shorts. Regarding KDK, Schwab now has 15k shares available to borrow (for shorting), and IBKR has 10k shares. Free float is about 5mm, but a lot of that is probably held by longs now; ARKQ might have about 800k of it. Institutions can't even go long here with sizable amounts, because the shares just aren't available (yet). That huge redemption was a blessing.
IBKR down after earnings beat. WHY?!
IBKR Chairman: our customers are smart investors. *opens my IBKR account to see if he was talking about me*
I don’t actually think selling 0DTE like this is a good idea, because there isn’t a whole lot you can do to avoid the risk that just happened to you. SPX is the way to go. You probably got liquidated because IBKR must have assessed your risk of assignment was high and you don’t have funds for it. Risk of spreads is never the max theoretical loss, it’s the assignment risk when you’re trading Options that are not cash settled.
Can someone ask the IBKR CEO where I can get a refund?

You don’t need AI for this. I actually built an app which used data from an IBKR API to scan option chains for deviations from optimal pricing, several years ago. It’s useful for picking WHICH option strikes are a relatively good deal (if you wanted to buy it anyway), but it’s not useful enough for arbitrage (for me anyway). Optimally, it could tell you which strike in an option chain has the best ask, compared to its optimal ask.
IBKR without question. It’s on every device, low fees, really decent for options. Let me know if you need a referral code
Need to check my eyes 👀 IBKR FCF ratio is 100%?
Why beat the s&p when you can trounce the s&p with options on spx or spy? I don't know IBKR, but your brokerage is irrelevant.
Is IBKR laggy when it comes to options for you ?
do you live in canada? IBKR is the cheapest because they don't charge any foreign transaction fees if your investing in us stocks (which you should). 10000 times .015 is 150 dollars in fx fees on questrade. IBKR is 1.25 per trade regardless of the amount.
IBKR is the advanced brokerage. Therefore too complex for regards. Therefore bad earnings tomorrow. Puts. (I have calls).
I kind of do it myself - I'm an engineer and do stuff like this for my day job. It's just grabbing historical data (optionsalpha, or I just use IBKR's API and custom Python scripts I wrote). Then either generate distributions directionally or fit to some model. GARCH-like model is common for time series data. You can look up GARCH and finance (as a starting point, there are more complete models) and you'll find a ton of examples online. Options are more complicated, you'll also need options and underlying prices, and probably use a pricing model (in like merton jump diffusion, personally. Easier to use than Heston)
I just compared RH gold and IBKR pro and RH has a better rate. At $1M: RH: 5.172% IBKR: 5.35% At $200k: RH: 5.034% IBKR: 5.15% Was looking for this info myself today and stumbled here. Sources below.

Real after hours closes at 8pm et. Then its just 4 guys on RH and IBKR trading back and forth until 4am
It's better than Wealthsimple for sure lol. In my opinion just for trading... 1. IBKR 2. Questrade 3. Webull 4. Wealthsimple
I full ported today on that dip into LAC, UUUU, LAES, IBKR, TSM Total over 1400 calls exp this friday. What can go wrong lol?
IBKR call for the earnings! Friday exp.
Can someone give me an alphabet? Imma search the alphabet up on IBKR and flip a coin to decide calls/puts and then coupled with some divine prayer blessings.
That damn IBKR don't let you watch on weekends mostly doing some maintenance
Any thoughts on buying IBKR and selling before earnings? Bit of a dip right now, I wonder if it'll go up over the next day
IBKR keeps asking me fore a trusted person information. Little they know, I trust no one.
Wish IBKR had options watchlists
Gold might mean today is the day I crack 6 figures in my IBKR account for the first time ever.. holy shit.
Can’t wait for IBKR to 🚀🚀 like every earnings report
Although I use IBKR, I did start on HOOD. Robinhood revolutionized investing and trading to the point that you have 18 year olds investing.
Just got an IBKR notice today about analyst ratings for STUB: Outperform: 8 analysts Buy: 1 Hold: 1
I've stuck with Robinhood after trying a couple of other brokers. Think or Swim is far more advanced than RH, but the fee's on options trading was expensive ($0.65/contract, $1.30 round trip). If I recall, I ended up with roughly $250 in fees over the course of about 3 months. That doesn't really matter when you have winning trades, but it stings a bit when closing losing trades. TOS was also one of the brokers that restricted trading in several names during the short squeeze we saw a couple years ago. I mirrored a couple of MSFT and SPY trades between RH and TOS and noticed literally zero meaningful difference in fill prices or fill time. Maybe it would be different for less liquid tickers, but I rarely trade options on low liquidity tickers. In the end, I just didn't see any advantage in continuing to use TOS for trading, but I will admit that it had great charting tools which RH is still playing "catch up" on. I also opened an account with IBKR and have been unable to gain permission to trade debit/credit spreads, which is my most common options trade. I'm not really sure what information IBKR thinks they need and they will not say, which is very common as I've come to find out. I used the same verifiable financial declarations that I used for RH and TOS. I actually had more experience with options trading when I opened my IBKR account. I guess that could be viewed as having a strong risk management policy, but I won't be trading on a platform that won't let me trade what I want, when I want.
"Conflicted on Brokers" I'd say! Best that you run, not walk, from Robinhood and try another broker. Dozens to choose from. Simply Google (or Edge) the phrase "options brokers" and select from the dozens that appear on the list (except Robinhood of course.) Many of use tastytrade, Schwab (ThinkorSwim), Fidelity, TradeStation, Webull, MooMoo, Ninja, IBKR and others. That said I know of no broker that doesn't experience an issue occasionally such as an outage, platform issues, etc. I've been a longtime user (15 years+) of ThinkorSwim and like the platform. Transitioning from TD Ameritrade to Schwab wasn't a problem. But, before you select a broker, I suggest that you first learn about options. Read the books, visit options related websites, etc. Try changing your mindset. Going into a trade with "no hopes of profit" is not exactly a road to success in the options trading business (and it is a business.) Good luck.
i just wish to be like the cool kids. but IBKR keep saying "you can't unlock level 2 option with your financial profile"
Whatchu use for share sold volume? Not aware of IBKR having such functionalities
there's way less volume so I wouldn't recommend it. Better to use IBKR if you're canadian
> I have a reduced options contract fee of $0.35 That is close to the lowest negotiated fee I've seen, which was $0.25 per. Something closer to $.50 is what I usually see and is what I get myself from Etrade. I wouldn't give that up, assuming you are happy with the platform and customer service you are getting. I don't know if price improvement can match that low fee, but I doubt it. I've rarely seen people post about their price improvement that is better than a few cents per-share, even if the per-share price is over $10. Is there a reason you are worrying about $3 to $5 of overhead? If your profit margins are so tight that $5 of overheard is the difference between net profit and net loss, you need to find trades with better profit potential. If you are high frequency trader, moving tens or hundreds of trades per day, you should move to a day trading platform that has a different fee structure, so you aren't penalized for frequency. I've seen people use SpeedTrader for this, but I don't know if it is any good. I've also heard IBKR and TradeStation mentioned for high frequency, low fees.
What platform is this? IBKR?
Yeah, I started on etoro first, years ago with crypto, I had no idea of spreads and shits, but having the idea of X10 or x20 the investment did not care much about a 3% spread. After I learnt the hard way, I bought crypto in binance while I kept etoro for stock market, additionally depends on your level you pay less. Me for instance pay 1 dolar for each trade while bronze tier pays 2. Each broker has good and bad points. Not saying etoro is the best but at least the trading is simple, not like IBKR which is something hateful for degenerates like us.
Binance, IBKR or trading 212 I use binance it's really good for crypto IBKR haven't yet I'm currently trying trading 212
Wowzie IBKR has decided to hang and not let me login
My account’s basically become a slug of $IBKR and smaller positions at this point so I hope you’re right.
T212 hands down the easiest/ most streamlined app to use. Transfers into the account are easy and there is almost no wait period in removing funds. IBKR has an awful UI and is confusing, and takes a long time to pull money from the account. From a UK perspective though its the only broker which lets you trade options.
