When does this take effect? And what are they doing about existing traders?

Real time news? Did someone say Briefing has real-time news? LOL Using Briefing for your real-time news feed is like saying you trade direct access with 15 min. delayed quotes! The only thing it is good for is giving you good exit signals. When the news hits Briefing it is a perfect opportunity...

Tha's funny Seth......... F' in hilarious! :D :D :D

What exactly would be attractive about a company with brutal commissions and antiquated trading technology?:confused:

I'm interested in communicating with anyone in S.W. Ontario who is interested in discussing prop. trading opportunities both in house and remote. PM me or just respond here on the board. I am seeking both experienced and in-experienced traders for equities and experienced traders for futures...

Just thought I'd bring this thread back to life to see if there are any traders new to ET in S. Ontario. Cheers

Dude you need to take Turok's advice and get some basic education about direct access trading. there are huge differences between MMs and ECNs and some basic education would obviously clear up a lot of you questions. In the meantime however here is a quick primer. ECNs such as ISLD do not...

These guys make so much because they take it away from the public and the money they make gives them the clout to make even more. Since your signature quotes Newton I assume you are acquainted...

So exchange rules do in fact prohibit a person from placing a bid and offer with the specialist simultaneously:mad: . What a crock of shit! This seems to me to be one more reason the SEC needs to break the backs of these thieving monopolies (specialists). It becomes clearer and clearer to me...

This is an interesting question. I have actually recently had this issue brought to my attention as it relates to AMEX listings. Can anyone with intimate or near intimate knowledge of this subject (being on or posting orders on both sides of the market simultaneously) give us a definitive...

Dude, glad to hear that everything worked out for you! MACD:)

Some valid points made here and some asinine comments as well. to M I'm am surprised at a couple of things here. First it seems you are surprised by this whole affair... how long have you been trading? When you are trading that kind of size I would think that you would be aware of the...
