Remember that the early bird gets the worm, to make sure we have inventory as long as possible, small firms like ours raise price on locate as our inventory shrink, if you get it early, you get a cheaper price.

Depends what you mean by “best” if you mean fastest, it is definitely with ARCA DMA, mkt order. But there is not an auction like there is at 9h30, and your manual input wont be optimal, you probably need an API that just spams the button until it receives confirmation.

I think you will see a massive seismic shift in small caps behavior this month. If you were aware Jin, settlement time changes industry wide from T+2 to T+1. Which will make the neg rates cost go down a LOT.

We will have a Twitter Space answering some good questions that we've received :

Good morning traderss!
We are getting a lot of messages about people trying to trade SQNS, this is a stock from France. Which we avoid due to tax reasons.
“Tax Rate and Calculation:
The French FTT is set at 0.3% (as of 2023) of the total transaction value for applicable equity
There is a lot of truth to that, i wouldnt say 95% but its very high. The most consistent strategies weve seen for several years are basket of Auction trading with a lot of backtesting.

Another Common Misconception, when you short something on Friday, you aren't holding it "Over the weekend", your trade settles T+1, therefore, the shorts of Thursday are held over weekends.

Yes, we are allowing our traders to trade it, and there is about 20 000 shares in inventory left to short, the price was around 0.225 a share 1 minute ago.

More people need to understand the concept of rebates, it is such an amazing tool. If I had to guess, you probably get 2$ per 1000 on ARCA as rebates.
My guess is 1 164 135 shares of added liquidity.

Interesting analysis, but not just that, you could probably check the neg rate on a lot of those, and see interesting returns lending some of these to short sellers on a daily basis for additional revenue for cash positions. I'd be very curious to see the Neg Rate.

Usually for STP orders, a good way to go is BYZ(BATS) they are the native ones at handling STP orders, the slippage might have not been as bad.
