Yes and it was a massive anomaly historically. The VIX also rose more in percentage terms in a day any time in history. However, assuming that is the new norm and making predictions for the day based on historical outliers is typically not prudent. That is the type of psychology that makes people buy and sell at exactly the wrong times.

Let's not get over the top here. Predicting a 4% drop for the day seems a little outrageous.

Simply email TradeHawk at info@mytradehawk.com and they will set it up with Tradier.

I have noticed the charting is vastly improved.

TradeHawk/SO combined offer is $90 per month for unlimited commission free trades.

TradeHawk has realtime P&L in the platform. It also has the ability to run P&L reports next business day.

As I've posted before you can do all of this in Apex. Simply go to the Online Menu in the top left and choose Cost Basis. There are tons of filters that can be applied to run very specific P&L reports.

Yes, you can run P&L based on symbol and month in TradeHawk.

Clicking on the legs in the Wisp will also automatically populate opening/closing not just from the Risk window.

I would contact them and schedule a call. Lex will walk you through all of the features.

I think you guys need to spend more time learning how to use TradeHawk. I use it exclusively for all analysis and trading. I have never used a platform before that allows for analysis and trading with such ease and quickness. I'm not sure what tools people are referring to that don't exist, because I don't really see any imperative omissions.

I have noticed recent improved execution with Tradier as well. It is likely because Apex eliminated Liquidpoint and Susquehanna as destinations and now send the vast majority of limit option orders to Citadel and Wolverine. Yesterday was a good example. I opened the CRM trade after Kim opened the Discussion but before he placed the trade (which was less than an hour apart). Therefore, it was likely Kim and I were trying to get filled during the same time period. I was filled at 6.08 on the straddle vs. the official trade of 6.13 (I opened a different short strangle so I can't compare there).

It’s good to see with real fills that Apex (TW, Tradier and Robinhood) is performing as well as if not better than IB. This goes a long way in debunking the myth IB continuous to perpetuate about their smart routing/fills in an attempt to justify their high commissions and poor customer service.

We don't trade any strategies that require futures options.

Yes.

There seems to be some confusion in this thread regarding how brokers earn part of their revenue. In addition to commissions all brokers/market makers/clearing firms also receive rebates from the exchanges for order flow. This is Tradier’s model. They have extremely limited overhead as they do not provide their own platform (and therefore eliminate all the costs associated with developing and maintaining one). They are a small shop with low expenses so the order flow rebate is enough to make them profitable. The lack of platform is solved by their API and outside developers. This is the reason Tradier is not available in Canada for @Kim and others, because Canadian regulators do not allow rebate for order flow. With regard to safety of assets, Tradier holds nothing. They are simply an Introducing Broker to Apex who is the custodian. Therefore, in addition to SIPC protection one should look at the stability of Apex which is very solid.

Correct. The difference in choosing Robinhood or Tradier over one another will come down to the platform and customer service. Everything else will be pretty much the same. Therefore, one can draw many conclusions about Robinhood by researching Tradier.

Execution will be the same on both Robinhood and Tradier as they both clear through Apex.

P&L reports can be generated on the Apex website.

Not true. I trade in a Partnership account and it is commission free.

They are free ($89 monthly SO/Platform Fee).

If only displaying one, I believe the max move is most relevant.

Not prior to last week.
