My understanding is that INET is subject to the uptick rule sometimes whereas ARCA is not. Assuming ARCA is the only choice, I wonder if it is best to enter a simple proactive ARCA limit order for shorts, or if there are other ARCA order types that work better. Again, thanks for any and...

What is the best route and order type to use for short selling a Nasdaq stock? (In case it matters, my orders are usually 1000 shares in stocks that do 500,000 to 1 million shares a day.) I use ARCA limit orders currently because ARCA doesn't have an uptick rule (I think). But I'm...

Does anyone know of any firms that offer real-time screening software with the ability to send orders from the same software? I've only found two ( www.tradestation.com and www.egmtrading.com ) and I'm interested if anyone else offers this technology. I'm talking about firms with software...

Funny thing about this rule change is that it has really pissed off a lot of people. Yet the SEC did not receive ONE single public comment about it before they passed it. Maybe the SEC should make it easier for people to find out about proposed rules like this so people can voice their...

Who's kidding who? Why not just charge .0035 and be straightforward with people?

Sterling and Echo have had a bout of REDI-itis lately....with one problem after another it seems.

Those ECN rates are marked up.

No doubt. But probably not for a trader making $1000-2000 a month.

A 2/10 cent savings may mean the word to a guy eeking out a K or two a month to feed his family. But then again, maybe that guy should find a better paying job.

On a positive note, since I switched to First Alert thin I don't have to worry about splits, new symbols, missing data, and other data maintenance issues. The data feed is also a LOT more reliable than their old Ideastream (?) feed or whatever it was called. On the downside, I have to create...

Don, how is this coming?

Which states does Bright require a series 63 in? Thanks...
