Why would people use INCA as opposed to ARCA. I always thought it was speed. I place an order on INCA and its there instantaneously for everyone to see including institutions. Bam its there I see it (got my own INCA screen) and sometimes it gets done right away particularly if you know there is...

Hitman, Yesterday was one of the broadest and biggest rally we had all year so I could fully understand the numbers. Today would be an interesting indicator for the top 30 list. In your opinion what do you think the percentage of traders in your company that are profitable lets say from May to...

I made a couple of trades today both were short sells. I am still not confident about going long and that will probably hurt my profits but for now I have to do what is comfortable for me. I usually look for stocks that have crappy looking daily charts and choose the worse out of the bunch...

Do they trade in fractions for that matter does anyone know any market that trades in fractions.

Thanks for the reply. its my opinion that the move to decimals and not the market has caused a bit of a slump. I remember back in the dead months of July and August of 2000 that many people at my office were doing very well. In fact during those months all we would concentrate on flipping for...

Does anyone know if I can set up the Oz scanner on E-Signal.

One other question for the Hitman. Has decimals decreased profits among your senior trades or has it had no effect on their bottom line. In other words from January to March were the profits higher and has it gone downhill (profits decreased) from April to now. I know many Nasdaq traders...

Hitman' you indicated that the OSX reversed all of a sudden and you went long HP. I know HP is in the industry but it's not in the OSX. Why didn't you go long a stock in the OSX rather than one outside this index? I don't think it matters because at 9:47 you could of essentially pick any OSX...

Not to be picky but I believe that Solomon Smith Barney upgraded Home Buiders not Golman Sacks.

Hitman, just out of curiosity what is the average age of traders at Worldco? It seems with all the talk of girlfriends and going out to drink at the end of the day that the average age would be in the twenties.

Proof in the Pudding------ Don Bright, I wonder if you could tell me how many of your offices around the country are actually profitable. I mean like more than one trader in each office making a living trading at your offices. Since you've indicated the Las Vegas Office is doing well we will...

Let me try again. It seems to me that a useful tool to trade at the opening would be a real time order imbalance on the NYSE? Does anyone have any idea on how I can find what listed stocks have order imbalances prior to the market opening? I have read from Don Bright how one may trade the...
