@MichaelGoode Hi Michael, I was wondering if you are able to trade OTC grey market stocks with IB? It's not letting me, saying "Trading in OTC grey market stocks is not supported". Really frustrating. Is there any solutions for this? Thanks!

There is no way around this -- if you have a position in a grey-market stock at IB they will let you call the trade desk to close it out. But they won't let you open new positions in grey market stocks. If for whatever reason you want to trade grey market stocks you will have to use another broker.

@MichaelGoode Hi Michael, is it just me or the import verification does not work anymore with IB?

It does not work for most people (including me) anymore although it still seems to work for some people

@MichaelGoode Hi Michael. You mention on your blog that you do not use TWS anymore, but you are still using Interactive Brokers. I was just wondering if you are using DAS connected with IB or a different broker for the charts and L2 but use IB to execute orders. Thank you.

I don't know where I would have said that -- I still use TWS. I do use DAS Pro with Centerpoint for level 2 and charts

Oh sorry, I didn't read that carefully. You replied to someone on your blog that you still use TWS but not time and sales and L2. Do you think DAS level 2 and time and sales is more accurate than IB's?
MichaelGoode Sep 27, 18 9:44 AM
TWS L2 & time and sales is just as good but I have always considered TWS charts ugly. I have used them in the past but I just find it easier to use DAS Pro and I have to pay for those charts / L2 anyway whereas I don't have to pay for the IB L2 if I don't want it

@MichaelGoode Hey Michael, I'm trying to see which fee structure is better for pennies. Tiered or Fixed (interactive brokers) Have you used both fee structure? If yes which one is best to choose? Thank you in advance.

Either tier structure is expensive for cheap stocks (particularly under $1 per share). I recommend tiered if you buy on the bid and sell on the ask more often than not
tommyvercetti55 Jun 19, 18 2:00 AM
Thanks Michael, I'm guessing tiered fee structure is best if you add liquidity to the market, and get rebates on that?
MichaelGoode Jun 19, 18 9:59 AM
Yes, if you add liquidity then tiered is best and overall it will be cheaper

@MichaelGoode Hey Michael got another question for ya. What problems might arise when trading Sub dollar stocks? I'd like to trade these (longs only) so I can take larger position sizes for larger nominal profits.

Keep in mind that what matters is not the price but the volatility. If you have a $10k position in a $1 stock and it goes up 10% you will make $1k. If you have a $10k position in a $10 stock and it goes up 10% you will still make $1k. So don't avoid trading higher-priced stocks for that reason. If you are trading Nasdaq stocks then all that matters is that your broker doesn't charge you per share commissions (or else it will get very expensive). If the stocks are OTC (most of the cheapest stocks

@MichaelGoode Hey Michael! What price action do you look for in overnight trades? Thanks.

Does a strong close indicate a potential morning spike? Currently longs only for me.
MichaelGoode May 09, 18 10:01 AM
it does make it more likely to gap up but I don't find it that reliable

Hello Michael... I just signed up for Silver and am happy to be here. Will not be sending many question, only a very occasional one if critical. Bought IHT today near close after the big dip. In at 2.35, did not bounce. Did not want to hold overnight re: not closing near hight. Cut losses quickly, out at 2.33 after holding to 2 min before close :-) . Any words of wisdom welcome as I am new but study and listen. Trading very small position instead of paper. Thanks so much. Freddie
Freddieferber May 16, 18 6:34 PM
will probably stick to dip buy in the open.

@MichaelGoode I forgot to mention this. Tradestation does not offer shorting OTC securities priced<$2,5 - all other securities are allowed to short.

@MichaelGoode ... Great article on your webpage. https://www.goodetrades.com/2009/09/how-to-borrow-shares-to-short/ Just to inform and update you. I'm currently a Tradestation and Interactive Broker client. The Tradestation platform have a "Short Locate" function, which search for HB securities. About 20-30% of the times when IB does not offer shortable securities I can find them at Tradestation. It takes around 30 sec up to 15 min (80% of times I get an answer within 2 min) to get the answer from a "locate request" - using their inbuild platform locate tool.... Thank you for all your great work (I have recentley bought the (How to read SEC filings) I really like your in depth academic style YOU ARE THE MAN!
