Proof: the cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of a truth or a fact. : something that induces certainty or establishes validity. http://www.fatima.org/story1.html http://www.tlig.org/ http://www.garabandalny.com/garabandal.html A few excerpts from "True Life in...

I have a question for the traders that are currently trading Nasdaq stocks, as customers, not as "prop" traders. Did your firm recently lower your INCA fees after Instinet announced lowered prices a few weeks back? I would really appreciate if you could also post which firm you trade with...

Well, I do agree with you, from a traders perspective. But Nasdaq is (or soon will be ) a "For Profit Corporation" so it's in their best interest to have as many liquidity providers joining their SS and future SM scheme (scam) as possible. Makes perfect business sense...for them, that is...

http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader/hottopics/nts_LiquidityProviders225.pdf ...maybe but not for too long. They're currently ranked #2, on the latest "SuperSoes liquidity Providers" list, from Nasdaqtrader.com. This will continue to be the case until (if/when) SuperMontage is released this...

A question to any Nasdaq short term scalpers out there: When trading liquid stocks like MSFT, what (if any) indicator do you use to determine the very short term direction. When I say "very short term" I mean the next 4 to 6 cent move. Could Level II quotes indicate this type of move ahead...

Is there a price improvement on marketable limit orders sent directly to Instinet? Let's say the market is 30.00-30.05 and I sent a BUY limit order @ 30.10 (using Instinet). If the Instinet book has orders of 30.06, 30.07 and 30.10, would I get some shares @ 30.06 and 30.07, before I get any @...

qwiktrade, Thank you for the clear explanation. One other question. What would you consider a large enough block, (in Nasdaq liquid stocks), that should be ignored (most of the time)? Again, looking from a very short term time-frame, the majority of the time, would you ignore any blocks of...

I have searched past elitetrader articles and didn't find much on this subject. I'm not looking for an absolute answer, just different points of view from Nasdaq Day-traders. Some of the questions I have are: What meaning, if any, do the large 25K-50K blocks have? What is the short term...

Don, on every post in the lower right hand corner there is a "quote" link, selecting it will automatically format the whole post (in a quote format) by that individual. Then you can take out (edit) whatever text you don't want and post your reply underneath. There is also an "Edit" and...

Just a correction, but based on the third quarter, Instinet and Island both lead the combined "Archipelago & REDIbook" matched share volume. The following is a quote from Forbes.com: "In the third quarter, J.P. Morgan Chase reported that Instinet's single-counted matched share volume was...

Don, So will the Redi user/trader be able to choose his platform, either Realtick or Redi-Plus?
