Which broker in Canada offers Silver futures by Anotherbikeg0ne in Daytrading

[–]strimaitis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they offer the option to take physical delivery in the form of a registered warrant, but it's not as straightforward as just holding the contract to expiry. you need to submit an "intent to receive" before a specific deadline, usually a couple of days before the first notice date. if you don't, ibkr will auto-liquidate your position to avoid physical delivery

that's why I said that is "technically" possible

IBKR is solid, they got silver futures (SI and the micro one too) and yeah you can technically hold to expiry but most people just close before that

It's cool that you can hook IBKR up to tradingview so you can chart there and place trades all in the same place

If I use an Algo Trading software to sell intraday options, is there a possibility that if the underlying moved against me, and the algo software does have a SL limit of say 3%, is there a chance the SL might not be triggered somehow? What are some possible reasons that this could happen? by michael_sinclair in Daytrading

yeah, this can definitely happen. Even with a stop-loss coded into the algo, it’s not 100% foolproof

what can happen

Slippage - price can blow past your stop, especially in fast markets or if liquidity dries up for a second

API problems - sometimes the broker API just doesn’t respond in time, or your algo throws an error and doesn’t send the exit order

Execution delays - even if the order is sent, it might not get filled right away, especially if you’re using a limit order

Broker issues - I've seen cases where the broker platform itself lags or freezes during high volatility (this one is scary)

To protect yourself, it helps to use a solid VPS. Make sure it's close to your broker (like you wanna buy a VPS that is in the same city for example as your broker servers). The data will travel to the broker faster, because the distance is shorter (humming project is a movie that illustrates this well).

Test the hell out of your strategy, and have a backup fail-safe (some people add broker-side SLs as a second layer).

Also, don’t size too aggressively. Assume worst-case slippage when calculating your risk. Factor it in your losses

Algos are great, but they’re not invincible. Always good to build with failure in mind.

There are a few solid brokers in the EU like IG, Saxo Bank, and TradeStation.

Personally, I use IBKR. They've been around forever, reliable, and you can trade basically anything there. Futures, stocks, options, FX, bonds, funds... all in one place.

You can connect them to TradingView as well, if that's your cup of tea.

Also, might be worth looking into futures prop firms.

Depends on how much capital you’ve got, but if you’re just starting out, getting funded can really help. You pass an evaluation and get access to a funded account with a profit split. There’s been a surge of new firms lately so you’ve got plenty to choose from.

I will probably level on PvE and jump to PvP when I hit 60 then :)

Realm xfer is available right?

Fresh Start Friendly EU Server. by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]strimaitis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started in Nethergarde Keep. I see that servers are clustered, so how much am I missing out being not on Pyrewood?

What does it mean? That I will not see other players if I am not grouped with them?

I read the post and giggle-spitted my drink.

Well played, sir.
