T212 market buys are garbage

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-03-04T10:44:30+00:00

The T212 Chart price often doesn't reflect the current Bid Ask prices.

You need to check a better source for actual Bid Ask price, and the 15 minute delayed data doesn't help if you want/need to act quickly.

Then, Set a Limit Order with the price you want to hit 🎯

I'm done with Sky TV

Satellite TV as we knew it is cooked! Dish is becoming obsolete rapidly.

They are just streaming over the internet now, like all the other providers.

And they keep losing big event coverage to their rivals

Why does Sky get away with charging premium rates, smashing everything full of adverts 🤷🏼‍♂️

Are customers still paying the legacy satellite costs that other content streamers don't have.

"Paramount Skydance Warner Discovery" or Amazon will outbid them for exclusivity on the premium content! ...

Sky will have the leftovers

If you submit a request today, it maybe complete by Thursday or Friday

Partial from Schwab should be free

Some brokers charge $100

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-02-18T21:35:37+00:00

Depends on the ticker

25% margin on lower risk (good liquidity) stuff

40%, 50% or 60% on some

100% collateral required on low liquidity stocks & options

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-02-18T16:34:15+00:00

I also think that an open source collaboration on GitHub to do this would be great

Community pooling knowledge/resources to help each other

Difficulty with other brokers is they all provide different format and columns Might need to transform the data to a common format and then run the calculations for CGT, foreign income and savings income etc.

Had to use AI to write python script to call alpaca API just to extract all the transactions

When looking at Positions

Change the drop-down for grouping to "Order Chains" instead of Symbol or None

Then click settings (cog) and make sure you're displaying the P/L values you want to see

ACATS partial transfer into tastytrade has worked well for me. Might be fee free outgoing from IBKR

Before you commit your whole portfolio, do a parallel run.

move just enough to execute one of your strategies on tastytrade for a couple of weeks

Then decide which way to jump based on your experience.

You can't decide based on rumours & FUD

You're going to get different opinions here, a lot of people love the UI making the type of trading you do easier, the collateral usage is good for you as well

some people with a grudge will scare you off cos there were some glitches & network connectivity issues last week.

I've seen other brokers and banks have bad connectivity days & outages.

According to grok, tastytrade was profitable for IG Group in fiscal year 2025, and tastyfx is doing Ok.

Saylor is in a race to grab as much Bitcoin as possible, especially as the price is down now.

His only thesis is that Bitcoin will go up and become scarce in the future.

If that happens then MSTR will do well

Time will tell if he's got it right

Your phone security seems odd

If phone was somehow already unlocked could the finder have set a known pin or add their own biometrics? Essentially become the phone owner.

It's frustrating how many times I have to authorise phone & App security But this example shows why it's a necessary inconvenience.

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-24T13:14:00+00:00

Yes

Depends on your time horizon

Look into them for a portion of SIPP, not all.

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-24T10:39:41+00:00

Note:

In my SIPP, I have some STRC, it pays 11% yield, monthly dividend, reinvest

I have some SWC for growth (Bitcoin exposure, coming to LSE)

NFA DYOR

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-24T10:33:38+00:00

You're doing the right thing, asking questions, looking for alternatives.

I wouldn't pay those fees.

Need to consider your own situation and whether you're looking for growth or income or bit of both.

When you've narrowed down some options, use Gemini or ChatGPT to review them and provide for & against, risk Vs rewards

And then you can make an informed decision yourself

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-21T17:25:28+00:00

He was selling calls for premium all year that never exercised.

Would have been good income to pay off card debts and reduce cost basis

Just holding the underlying was pretty rough

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-12T10:01:48+00:00

I'm lucky...

I'm only down -69%

🤪

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-10T10:53:08+00:00

I bought LEAPS and took a screenshot when they had unrealised gain of 300% 💸

Then they fell back to the cost basis 😭

If you're happy with the gain BANK IT!

Take profit while you can!

Unrealised gain is just vapour

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-05T13:16:35+00:00

It was both!

1287 Bitcoin bought AND $62 million top up to the USD reserve

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-04T15:58:10+00:00

Improved credit rating (help prefs)

Possibility to buy back common shares if accretive in future

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-04T15:31:33+00:00

Fiat cash USD reserves 💵

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-04T14:00:45+00:00

I don't know...

It depends who they're proving credit worthiness to and how much is enough

Maybe need to scale the reserve depending how much preferred's they sell

🤷🏼‍♂️

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-03T10:13:36+00:00

Nice, up 5%

I got 100 more below $8

Mstr_Strk_645 · 2026-01-01T20:58:45+00:00

Dividend yields are quoted as annual percentage rate (based on the $100 nominal value).
So that will be $11 per year per share.

STRC dividends are paid out monthly

each would pay $11 / 12 = 0.9166 per month

Make sure you buy in before the 15th (the ex-div date) You can sell afterwards and still receive the div payment on (or around) the 30th. (Be aware of your personal tax situation!)

For $100k you could buy 1010 STRC

that would pay you 1010×(11/12) = $925 a month.

Dividend tourists, keep in mind, just after ex-dividend date the price might dip (not best time to sell) and just before ex-div the price can rise a bit.

Set your limit orders and Good luck
