  1. I know absolutely nothing about the proposed trade, but I would strongly suggest no one use IB's PM for a leveraged strategy. IB's liquidation algorithm is completely flawed and has been for quite some time. Here is what happened to a hedge fund in 2015: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-arbitration-interactive-auto-liquidat/interactive-brokers-must-pay-667000-for-portfolio-selloff-mishap-panel-idUSKBN0LM23620150218 IB did nothing after this ruling and there is currently a massive putative class action lawsuit against IB, whereby the class attorneys were recently awarded punitive damages as a result of IB's willful negligence. This willful negligence has led to catastrophic losses for members of the putative class as a result of IB's algorithm creating a death spiral that blows out accounts. Craig McCann does an excellent job explaining it here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/more-impossible-trade-prices-caused-auto-liquidators-option-mccann/ Relevant examples: Table 1: Bull Call Spread Trade at Theoretically Impossible Prices Table 2: Put Bull Option Trade at Theoretically Impossible Prices. I would strongly suggest paying a higher margin rate with another broker to run this trade. Schwab, Fidelity and TDA will all negotiate on larger and more active accounts.
  2. Firstrade is available in Germany.
  3. The PV/Tradehawk bundle is no longer available as a result of dropping the TLT trade and the contracts it brought with it. However, TradeHawk has reduced its pricing and is now extremely competitive without the bundle offer: https://brokerage.tradier.com/platforms/tradehawk
  4. In my opinion, it is simply a patience game. Often the worst conditions eventually morph into an excellent environment. Frankly, that is what I am anticipating in the Treasury market and I think we’re getting pretty close. I also believe it is likely the environment for the SO strategies will begin to improve as well. The miscommunication and about face of the Fed had far reaching consequences in ALL markets and in my opinion that is beginning to fade. Let’s see what the next six months bring.
  5. Video covering most recent TH release: https://vimeo.com/324837654
  6. From Tradier: Scott, We opened this account late last week and we are in the process of setting up his user, it should be completed soon. I have been in email contact with the client. Sincerely, Joseph LeDrew Trade Desk PO Box 49056 |Charlotte, NC 28277 980-272-3880 980-229-4715 (fax) service@tradierbrokerage.com
  7. Yes, that is how I am setup. One must request those documents by email (not able to apply online).
  8. All brokers have technical issues. It has been fully resolved at this point and they acknowledge it was an issue. They will be following up with an email, but I have had WAY worse experiences with IB, LightSpeed, eOption and SpeedTrader, so let's keep it in context.
  9. The new "Dash" view on Tradier is definitely cleaner. Choose in the upper right corner of the web interface.

  11. Important note on this benefit. Members must maintain a CA or bundle subscription in order to maintain the TradeHawk promotion. We verify with Tradier weekly and those that cancel their subscription with CA/bundle will also lose the Tradier/TradeHawk special offer. If those that cancel wish to be reinstated again in the future, they will have to subscribe again at the higher CA rates.
  12. I discussed it with Kosta at TradeHawk about a year ago but frankly I can’t remember what the reason was.
  13. Norton has to be temporarily disabled in order to download TradeHawk.
  14. The CA Tradier/TH bundle will be an ongoing promotion. Today is the last day to lock in the Founder’s rate for CA subscription.
  15. You can either use the Tradier website on your mobile or also subscribe to the mobile app Rho.
  16. Orange on the list was acceptable, I would simply email them now.
  17. From the first post of this thread: Those that already have a subscription with Tradier, but would like to switch to this offer simply need to email Tradier at service@tradierbrokerage.com (the February fee waiver will not apply to existing Tradier client's as there is no account setup to be done).
  18. Turns out from a compliance standpoint w ecan’t post it. Any interested parties should simply email Tradier at service@tradierbrokerage.com to determine if their country is eligible.
  19. That’s interesting as the light motif was one of my first requests. I had a TON of requests, all of which were fulfilled by TH but they explained to me a light theme would essentially be a total overhaul so we all agreed it would be pushed to the bottom of this list.
  20. For clarification, TradeHawk is currently working on a mobile app. In the meantime Rho is available to Tradier users at $40 per month for subscribers that require a more robust mobile app than Tradier’s web platform provides.
  21. Yes, simplicity of order entry is unparalleled at TradeHawk.
  22. We shall see how their execution is clearing on their own. As always, time will tell.
  23. The platform is superior in my opinion. Also, they don’t allow for entity accounts, which all full-time traders would benefit from creating.
  24. Fills at RH and Tradier will be identical as they both clear with Apex. SPX commissions will be .35 per contract at Tradier moving forward (they are a little less currently).
  25. Good news. From Tradier: For additional accounts, we will give the customer $0 commission trading for $45/month. That is refunded with 2,000 contacts. This can be in the account independently or 5,000 contracts across the 2 accounts.
