I have seen these "consolidated" opens in real time many times on some NYSE stocks that I follow. Sometimes it is only a single print of 100 shares at the opening bell, many times far away from the NYSE open print. Since this constitutes a valid "open" in the current NBBO model, it has the...

LOL. Making money is not difficult either, just take the other side of my trades, you will be a guaranteed winner. :) :)

The mortgage would also have been recorded in the county recorder's office to make it a valid lien against the property. The mortgagees can therefore simply request a copy of this lien document from the county records. If they cannot find it this way then there is no lien and the issue is...

LOL. And they probably only did it with one finger too.

What's up with C quotes. CNBC shows the stock as being up right now better than .20, but my Tradestation feed shows the stock as being down 0.48

Maybe they are not responding to "my" individual 100 share order but they are responding to "a" 100 share order. I don't know what gave you the idea that I am a beginner, I have been doing this for 12 years. How long have you been observing market behavior? Anyway I am done with this...

I realize that a thinly traded stock can drop out of the blue, but when it happens repeatedly the instant your order is executed you know that the game is being played. I use this against them in that I will fire off small orders and average in to the position, getting a better average price...

BS or not, this is happening. In fact it has happened to me so much that I now use it against them. If I want to take a 1000 share position I will sometimes fire off an order for 100 shares hitting the offer. My order will be filled and the market will immediately drop (the computers are...

Market makers/specialists/market movers are not simply making markets anymore as they used to do in the old days. They have their computers programmed to execute your order and immediately move the market in the other direction, trying to stop you out. I don't know how, but it seems that they...

My personal suspicion is that "they" know exactly where your individual entry price is and can manipulate the market so that you will not easily see a profit or they will try to stop you out. I am not sure if they can tell how much you are leveraged or whether or not you are a PDT trader on...

Down here as well in South FL.

Just use a regular KVM and don't bother connecting the monitors to it. I have done this in the past and it works just fine. Alternatively you can use something like Synergy and eliminate the need for the KVM altogether. I currently have this spanning 10 computers and it works fine. See...

Actually this depends on your software application. Most likely the application has stored the location of the various windows/items in a configuration file. Browse the folder where your application's config/initialization data is stored (it varies from app to app), look for a text file that...

Anyone else having issues with tradestation data feed this morning. Data just freezes for a few seconds, and then resumes in a burst of activity. This has been happening repeatedly this morning. Hopefully it isn't my internet feed. Echo

This is something I have suspected for quite a long time now, as this happens to me on about 90% of my trades. The market immediately moves against you and even when it starts to return to your entry position, most of the time it stops exactly at your entry point and will either bounce or stay...

Like you, I am also switching for the same reasons. You should also probably take a look at MBTrading. They have an API that they seem to support, clear through Penson, comparable commissions. I only just started looking at them yesterday so I am not sure if it will meet my requirements yet...

:D :) :p Happy Holidays

777, Obviously my brain must be failing me recently, and I also lost my secret decoder ring, so perhaps you could enlighten me as to the true meaning of your post, in plain straightforward english.

I am not scalping, usually I am looking for a short term intraday swing trade, maybe .40 to .50.

Bitstream, You may very well be correct that this is a mass market psychology issue and that I may unconsiously be opening myself to being a target, I don't know, and obviously I don't know how I am doing that. I can understand and accept that with entry as a single trade, say 1000...
