    floor squawk box?

    TradeTheNews is what I use. Your complaint about them "relaxing" is likely recent since the August pit's so empty. Once everyone comes back from vacation they'll actually have a market to be on top of, and they won't relax so much.

    Sporadic Connectivity @ eSignal

    I just got charts back, but they've only updated to 11:31AM. Will try a relog.

    Sporadic Connectivity @ eSignal

    Yeah, whenever there's an eSignal outage I come here for the news instead. Because usually the server that hosts their system status forums goes down too. I can understand occasional outages of eSignal's main service... but shouldn't they have a backup server for their SYSTEM STATUS...

    Trading in Japan

    I have an opportunity to visit Japan for two weeks at the end of June... and I'm interested in meeting some Japanese traders who could get together and chat about trading, or possibly even give me a tour of their trading setup/ prop office/ software. My trading experience has been exclusive to...

    average Swift-trader make?

    1. I found a whole bunch of better deals... why haven't you been able to find any? No internet connection? No phone? 2. I've traded on 4 different platforms, including ProsperPro and Lightspeed... they all have their quirks, but PPro is definitely the least versatile and customizable. It's...

    Joey The Specialist - damn funny!

    It's already stuck in my head... it was gone for a second, and then Joey screwed me on a late fill just now... back with a vengeance.

    Maybe I do and maybe I don't... but the ET forumgoers will never know. (evil laugh) :cool:

    millenium arbitrage

    How it works and how to do it are the same thing. What it is, is what you called it in the title of the thread: "Millennium arbitrage." If you're not interested in doing it, why'd you ask? "How are all these people making so much free money? No, no, I'm not interested in making free money...

    millenium arbitrage

    If he was dumb enough to expect someone to spill the beans on their limited edge, then no, he probably can't figure it out on his own.

    Swift changing the deal

    I'm not sure there *is* a building in Cambridge, Ontario, worth $300k. :D Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think those computers have even been used in over a year. Let alone upgraded.

    Swift changing the deal

    So... the office can be had for the low, low price of 3000 times its net revenue to date? What a steal. :D

    Genesis Sec. must get their act together

    It's true I've been burned on occasion by something that is a result of Genesis' growing pains. But I am helped by low commissions and fast execution EVERY DAY. Growing pains go away once the company grows out of them. Low commissions and fast executions stick around. Don't get me wrong, I've...

    Swift changing the deal

    I don't know specific people in Hamilton... just have my ear to the ground, and some trader friends still at Swift who give me updates.

    Swift changing the deal

    I just got a call yesterday from one of the guys at my old Swift branch. He told me about a bunch more people who quit, and that the only thing keeping him there (among most others) is the search to figure out the Millennium arb method the Hamilton guys have... the situation is so bleak. I...

    Interactive Brokers Ranked No. 1 Software-Based Online Broker by Barron's

    IB has a great reputation, and although I've never used them myself, I'd probably consider then one of the best online brokers out there. I don't think their fees/commissions are "rock bottom" though... they're pretty competitive, but I pay way less... Congratulations on the ranking.

    Nyse Open Book ?

    I use NYSE Open Book every day and consider it invaluable for my trading style. Everything everyone's said about it is true-- that it lags, freezes, and may not reflect the true book-- but it is very possible to learn how each specialist on a stock likes to use his open book, and thus very...

    Superbowl Halftime Show

    So it DID happen. Of the six guys in the room, I was the only one that caught it. When Justin sang "I'm gonna have you naked by the end of this song," he wasn't far off.
