yah, going to have to adjust instead of hoping they pull their head out of their ass. Just so much noise, so many damn ridiculous prints...for me its a total cluster **** right now. Went from averaging 5 figure months to being up 2,600 for the YEAR. Brutal. But thanks for dashing my...

is there ANY shot in hell this could happen? I can't believe how horrible this system is. If I wanted to trade NASDAQ- would trade the exchange that does it right. This Hybrid is just absolutely horrible. I am assuming going to hear that its here to stay and get used to it. But...

Guess it depends on the firm. The firm I trade with right now is passing that extra .00025/share on to traders. I am on pace for at least 36 million shares this year, that is an extra $9,000. So from what you are saying is that some firms are eating this additional cost and not passing it...

Is it significant? Well, as far as I can figure out its going to cost me at least $9,000 this year. 36,000,000 * .00025 = 9,000 So yes, to me that is significant. Unless I am reading this wrong.....which would not surprise me since I am a mental midget that just bangs away on stocks. Can...

Apologies if this has already been discussed. Couldn't find anything. Regarding the new NYSE pricing for equities...

Thanks for the help guys. Yah, its just the resolution on the LCD. I just hooked up to my Sony SXRD 1920 x 1080 and it looks pretty decent. But am going to stick with the dual monitors for now.

Yah i did that. Have it on 1280x1024 and that is where everything is grainy and huge. Then tried 1360x768 and it was better, but then everything was sized all wrong. So I guess 37" just weren't meant to be used for computer screens? or I am just an idiot and can't figure it out. Thanks...

Hey guys. I am idiot when it comes to computers. Been thinking about switching out my dual 19" with my bedroom 37" LCD. I hooked it up just now and it looks like crap. Everything is HUGE and grainy. The video card I have is whatever comes standard with the Dell E510. Radeon X300 SE??? If...

So VERY VERY TRUE. I don't understand you people that want to get rid of the specialist. The specialist is VERY MUCH my FRIEND. I really don't get it.

Thanks for being a smart ass Albert. Yes, I have been trading for 4 years and in my first year I made close to six figures and have crushed that the last three. Its been fairly slow year for me so far, but then again I work about 8 hours a week...so have fun in your day job. Was just...

yah, percent of return is not a good question. I keep 10K in my account and swipe profits twice a month. YTD I am up just over 40K. So I answered over 100%- but not really the best indicator.

I know there are better BBS to ask this. But anyone know?
