Absolutely, some hedge funds have learnt a painful lesson of a so-called short squeeze..

Put options can also be quite expensive but risk-wise way more attractive than shorting the stock.. To make options position less costly (but also inevitably give up some upside) put bear spreads could be considered: buying 1 put option and short-selling another put option with a lower strike.

Well, Fidelity doesn't do pfof for stocks but they do that for options..

No thanks, too much leverage plus heavily relies on crypto trend continuing, wouldn't take that risk..

there are certain parameters like net price improvement, percentage of improved orders and execution speed.. retail brokerages are encourage to make such data public by FINRA:

Interactive Brokers, great execution quality, normally use their desktop version since find their mobile app somewhat cumbersome..

Does Tastytrade pay your salary? and by the way, they are not free

options trading is a valuable hedge, especially against the market crash. the outcome should be mitigated with proper tools, but yeah, those are expensive
