All my trading of VIRT stock has been done from my online Fidelity retail brokerage account. I have an order in with Fidelity to sell 100 shares of VIRT in the closing cross in order to take another small profit.

I only just got margin enabled for my Fidelity account over the weekend, because all my previous trades were fine with just a cash account. Needed a little bit of margin today, just 15k or so

The price started trending down so I went ahead and took profits with some normal limit orders and IOCs. Pulling my closing cross order now

Just made even more money with limit orders and IOCs. Might place that closing cross order after all; I think I have 8 minutes for that iirc..?

Ended up leaving a closing cross order to sell some shares just in order to close out my intraday position. Big profits today!

The numbers are as reported by Fidelity's site; I didn't calculate them myself

EDIT: Also, it goes without saying but the 0.95% and 0.57% numbers were typos, and should be 0.095% and 0.057% respectively. (A reasonable sanity check is, how would someone buy an entire 1% of a 3 billion dollar public company in the space of months on an account that doesn't even have margin? I'm too used to trading crypto where being off by an order of magnitude or two is "normal" somehow)

God dammit, I think I was still off by an order of magnitude again. Whatever, I'm sure you get the point
