I probably should mention I need it to use the FIX protocol.

Look for an options trading platform. I've been looking at MicroHedge from SunGard and FlexOpt from FlexTrade, but thought I would ask for suggestions. Looking for something fairly advanced with good risk tools. 3vian

I guess it depends on your sensitivity. I am nearsighted and don't wear glasses when on the computer, so perhaps this is why. I can read book 2" in front of me, so I guess I notice the very small fluctuations in the screen.

I would limit myself to LCDs with DVI inputs. The new dells have them, but are a little more expensive then the analog version. I just got two for a friend, came to about $620. The DVI makes it a lot easier on the eyes, and when you sit in front of a screen for 7+ hrs a day it really helps...

I would guess (I am guessing here, I didn't see the piece) he assumes the market is taking into account changes in fundamentals in the long term trend, so the chart should reflect investor perception of the fundamentals. Who really cares what the fundamentals are, what you care about is how the...

How about cqg, not sure about an api, or if they allow just data feed without charting. That said, they have very reliable data and also do data correction for bad ticks. I currently use IQFeed for my charting data, but i find it to be slow, but im tracking 400+ symbols so that could be it. I...

I'm also having problems with the TRIN with E*Trade Pro. I've been asking them to fix it for the past week+, but nothing has happened. IQfeed was also having problems, but they seemed to have resolved them.

From what I understand it is direct access, so it is directed wherever you direct it, you can hit regionals or NYSE or an ECN (but then fees apply). So if you trade a lot of listed then these commissions are pretty good, also you can actually make money trading ecn by adding liquidity. I trade...

Okay I just contact genesis and they clarified their fees for me, They do charge the ECN fees as I suspected (how could they not, they would go bankrupt pretty quickly). ECN Fees (NASDAQ) Add Liquidity Remove Liquidity BRUT $0.0023 $0.0027...

This can't include all fees right? ECNs are in addition right (and SEC of course)? But they don't actually mention that on their commissions page (as far as I can see). Some1 from genesis please clearify (I see they are now a sponsor), or some1 trading with them.

I was talking to some ppl I know over at LEH and from what I gathered was that if you wanted to get on their trading floor u HAD to have an MBA. Even if you were willing to take an inter with no pay then u had to at least be an MBA student. It just that there are soo many ppl to choose from...

There is always something moving! You just need to find it (or be told what the big guys are interested in!). Played FOX and WM today. Beautiful print just before the bell on FOX and I'm lovin' it.

btw u dumbass it is $12. It is you who is not the math major! Buy 300 shares - $3 sell 100 shares - $3 sell 100 shares - $3 sell 100 shares - $3 Total? $9, I think not! Perhaps $12, so before you accuse someone of stupidity you better make sure you're right!

Just wanted to know whether you were planning on trading the future (COMEX or perhaps London, I would do COMEX!) or physicals. If you where thinking of trading futures on the COMEX then please PM me. I have some experience there, and my opinion is I don't care if the product has any true...
