    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    I started Atkins on Saturday. I know exactly how you feel. But today I feel good and pretty sharp. I chalked my headaches up to caffeine withdrawal, and I did have a single cup of coffee this morning (rather than my normal 5 or 6). Trade light tomorrow morning and by the afternoon you...

    Scanning Software for Unusually High Intraday Volume

    If you want to control the parameters as described at the top of this thread, you should look at Neovest. I think you can do the volume screen on their Idealink, which is the lighter of their products. http://www.neovest.com/idealink.asp

    He reads the wires, but he also has some direct sources for a few items. He has been known to jump a Fed rate change by a few seconds, and he has some good sources on oil numbers. He was the original news reader at the Houston Momentum office back in the good old days, and the bottom line...

    Shill Securities

    Point taken, but I think there is still a lot of shilling I routinely see "My crew and I trade 10 Million shares a month and are all profitable, where can we get better rates than the .003 we are paying now"

    Obviously, when the transparent shilling ends, the SS, LLC jokes will end as well.

    I have never seen a better trader than

    This thread has made me laugh out loud so many times the guys around me think I'm watching the "star wars dork" again. Mr. Market is HUGE. Guys like him are why I so enjoyed the year I lived in Lindenhurst. But Mr. Market is not a trader in the strictest since, as rolegario succinctly...

    Infomercial?

    There is a reigning infomercial champ and their name is wizetrade. They also run the seminar game, and in the past year I have stayed at 3 different hotels that were hosting a wizetrade seminar, and I don't travel more than once or twice a month. I understand that the company that runs their...

    The Best Commission Rate Ever

    No harm, no foul. Thanks for the explanation. Assuming that stat arb/ pairs is almost all of what you do - I know where you are coming from feeling that the high buying power you need is relatively safe because of the trading style. But I have usually found, to my surprise, that a lot of...

    The Best Commission Rate Ever

    Very articulate. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Actually, I'm dead serious. Look, one of the lessons I have learned the hard way is that when a business relationship is one sided, it tends to hurt both parties in the long run. You are looking hard at the 'costs' of your business...

    The Best Commission Rate Ever

    The futures comparison is intersting, but don't you have to also consider the amount of $ per tick? I think in the end it just underscores how much penny increments has screwed everyone. I am not up on the new pricing at Etrade - I wonder what kind of routes are available and if they are...

    The Best Commission Rate Ever

    Funny, since becoming a publicly traded company Andover seems to be raising prices, eh? At least, according to several posts on this site. Booted a couple of large groups with rock bottom rates, too. Or so I'm told. They don't seem to be as aggressively working this board either, I wonder...
