    What products let me see the SEQUENCE of the Level-2 / Market Depth queue?

    I couldn't imagine how this could be reliably accomplished. For futures markets, the queue could likely be estimated with some degree of accuracy. If I remember correctly, Xtrader can provide an estimate of this. As i960 pointed out, TT and CQG may as well. When you start dealing with...

    big order effects

    Price impact would depend on the current liquidity and the routing strategy employed. If a large limit order is sent in 4 ticks above the current best offer, execution will occur at the current offer and up to 4 ticks higher, depending on how many shares are offered within those 4 ticks. If your...

    Trader P/L 2014

    I struggled with good entries and terrible exits today. I made 2 trades. Despite well calculated entries, especially on IRBT short, I ended up taking piddly profits and not sticking to the exit plan. Once again, back to the drawing board as I try to deal with and overcome these frustrating...

    Trader P/L 2014

    I started the day looking to cover the rest of a 3-day swing trade (short UA) that wasn't looking so great in light of Friday's after-hour shenanigans on the stock. I should have held. Gun shy, I did another small short (WYNN), covering despite my initial strong conviction on the trade...

    Trader P/L 2014

    Slow day today. Got back into some old bad habits of taking winners too quick before my strategy says to. I didn't stick around in the trades for the big moves, as was the case today. Up $71

    Trader P/L 2014

    Slow day, 1 trade on 200 shares. Captured most of the day's range. It was a bit of an experiment on holding a winner. Up 131.

    Trader P/L 2014

    I used to post on the Trader P/L 2013 thread back in May. I'm looking to start again in hopes of putting some pressure on myself. For the most part, I'm consistently profitable. I'm not nearly where I want to be on a $profit basis, but making strides in the right direction. I've struggled...

    What's the Best Stock Scanner-Scouter-Radar in your opinion?

    I'm not sure if I understand your post correctly. Are you looking for a scanner for sub-penny stocks hitting 52-week highs? In any case, the best scanner I can suggest is TC2000. You can scan for virtually any setup and filter by price. You can also scan real time for Nasdaq Pink Sheets. The...

    Trader P/L 2013

    Forgot to post blotter yesterday. I was up $88 yesterday and $49 today. Nothing big, mainly because the majority of my trades are shorts especially at these levels. Next week should be interesting.

    Trader P/L 2013

    I trade a smaller account (40k) and operate at a lower % of buying power (considering leverage). I trade exclusively stocks and once in a while options. Most trades are done with 200-500 shares. Although a lot of my P&Ls posted here aren't impressive by many standards, often in the $100/day...
