    AMEX Thievery

    Thanks for the handbook. I'm not so sure the AMEX spec is a crook afterall. I didn't know that the AMEX spec could trade through your order and it's legal for him to do that. Do you know what their reasoning is?

    Do you find it easier to hold on to a profit or a loss?

    I guess everybody fights this problem. I have done something really simple and it helped me immensely. I enter a trade from a combination of the usual stuff, tick ticki, trin, reversal candles, etc... After the trade is on, I switch my focus to a simple 5 period MA and look to get out when that...

    NO INSTINET in SPY

    If Redi goes, then I can't trade the SPY's anymore. It will be time to trade something else. What really bites is that I used to watch the Island bid fall out then immediately short a weak NYSE stock and get filled on that bid (sometimes). Island traders had gotten so fast at bailing I could...

    NO INSTINET in SPY

    I trade the SPY's (still). I traded them again today but I quit right before our President decided to reinforce in everyone's mind the idea we are still headed for war....(IMHO one reason for the sell off) The spread falls out quicker than it ever has since I've been trading them. I have...

    I had friends of mine that had no interest in the market whatsoever . Then in a matter of a couple of quarters, I was having conversations involving the stock market and listening to opinions of what stock they liked and why. They had become overnight analysts. None of them are still in the...

    what do you want ? dreams, hopes desires of traders

    I don't know what I want but, I know what I don't want. I don't want to end up on the outside looking in. I don't want to have to look at the last trade of my career. You know, the one that blew up your account, and know I screwed it up. I don't want to have to walk away quietly, and...

    Feelings

    It's impossible to get away from uncertainty. Trading is uncertainty. The worlds a more uncertain place. One persons heart was not meant to carry all the evil in this world. The media seems to expect it from us, the way they constantly bombard us with tragedy. No human should be arrogant enough...

    Holy Cr*p ISLD blocked from providing QQQ ,DIA, and SPY full book quotes

    All I traded was SPY's. The AMEX specialist must think he died and went to heaven... He gave the absolute worst fills that I have ever seen go across the board today. The spread was always at least .15. and Island wasn't there to keep him in line. How is that fair to us....I couldn't get a fill...
