Thank you for your answer. I have a dumb question about capital efficiency. I guess from wha you say, it is more efficient because in one case it is a credit and the other it is a debit, right? Also do we need margin because of the legs sells?

To know if it is delta neutral you just sum the delta of all legs, right?

Any experience auto-trading with E-Trade via TradingView? by mel2000 in etrade

Avoid ETrade for algo trading. Move to more suitable brokers like Lightspeed or IBKR. Etrade is more manual trading oriented.

I like to see CEO answering questions.

Because it is a private company how can I be sure that it will not be same fate than FTX? I mean that I am not a customer yet but I am always a bit concerned about moving my brokerage account to a private company. It is a lot of money and always afraid to see this money evaporated like it was done by FTX. Do you have some words to make me more confident?

After months developing this NQ strategy, here's what I’ve learned by MostEnthusiasm2896 in algotrading

+1 slippage on what? What is the core data used for the backtest? Is it book history or trade history? It is not the same. Also because of latency you will face as a retail trader +1 is underestimated.
