I am a pretty traditional long term investor, $AAPL, Berkshire, Bank of America, Ford, Amazon, AMD, $SPY, with 10+ years in the market. However with the crazy volatility, I have been toying with the idea of buying ProShares UltraPro Short $SQQQ to hedge my losses on big pre-market open down days. Today for example would have been a good day to own $SQQQ for the day (up 7.3%). Any insight on how to go about this hedge strategy using Alpaca? Can I get pre-market quotes for the Nasdaq?
I used to work next to the stock loan desk at a bank. The equity markets are generally pretty tech driven these days but stock loan is still operating in a 1980s mentality.
For a large majority of S&P 500 stocks this prediction will be within 2% of the actual price very often (more than 80% of the days). In aggregate, the hit rate is over 80% as well.
Nearly all brokers tend to sell order information to one or many market makers. It is neither illegal nor harm retail customers, not unless these customers are trying to run some HFT algos on their own.
