Stock777, Make fun all you want. The fact is that this is happening. I have been trading for almost 12 years now and have gone through all of the various market environments in that time, and this is the worst that I have seen. Maybe it is just a factor with the particular broker I am...

Scalper, You are exactly correct. This is the exact same thing that happens to me, and size does not matter. It happens if I trade 100 shares or 5000. It also happens on both Nasdaq and NYSE. Many here will make fun and think that this is nonsense, but it is the reality. Echo

:) :) You are probably right. Although in my conspiracy theory mind I suspect that "they" will switch along with me and I'll still be left in the same losing position. :D :D

I have felt for a long time now that the "market makers/movers" know exactly where I have entered a position. Too many times I have seen price move in my favor to the point where I am about to turn profitable, but when it gets to within a penny of my entry it magically reverses and goes against...

Why not make your life a lot easier and just buy a second hard drive. They are so cheap these days, and will simplify things a lot more than all of these multiple partitions. Simply install the second drive and use it as a backup/download/crap collector/etc. You can even partition the hell...

I believe that this is correct from what I have observed of Cybertrader routing, even the API does not offer a Direct+ option. In addition I believe that NYSE orders are first routed to UBS or Schwab who then forward it on (do they first try to fill it in house or see "if they want it"?). I...

This seems directly on point to the initial post: http://www.greencompany.com/PropTraders/Traders.shtml

I don't know about the psychological factor. I have seen this happen too many times, even when my average entry price is not anywhere near any support or resistance, in fact my average entry price eventually becomes the support/resistance point. I don't know how they're doing it, but they...

This "phemenon" is pretty much what I described in a post some time ago. Basically the stock moves against you immediately after you enter a position, trying to shake you out, especially on short positions. Most of the time if you do not get out, the stock will move back in your favor but...

No. You are wrong!!! It does not matter if this was a previous support level or not.

It is amazing to me that something I see happen to me about 90% of the time when I direct orders to NYSE, is not being seen by some of the "NYSE specialists always fill orders properly" proponents on this thread. By all standards, I am a small retail trader trading his own account, so I don't...

I am no market expert but when I look at the individual stocks that make up the DOW I do not see significant strength. A few stocks (BA, CAT, HON, JNJ?, JPM?, MMM, MO, PG, UTX, XOM) are showing strength, yet the way the index is moving you would think that the entire 30 stocks were in strong...

Make sure that you have plugged the DSL modem into the modem splitter port and not into the telephone filter port. Basically it sounds like you have either not used the splitter for the DSL modem or you have plugged the modem directly into the phone jack. With that setup your modem will lose...

Trading for more than 10 years now, I can certainly understand the comments about the lack of any sensible movements in the stock market recently. Quotes mean nothing as they are regularly not firm and not filled. The penny grind has killed the market as we now have no meaningful movement...

This market is boring. I guess that the PPT ran out of money!

Actually you do not need to delete and recreate the partition, although it won't hurt. Just select the format option after you have selected which partition you want to install the new OS on. THIS WILL WIPE OUT ALL FILES ON THAT PARTITION, so be careful. You must have missed that step in...

I don't understand why you cannot install W2000 on an XP machine unless the W2000 software you have is an upgrade version. If it is a full install version, simply put the CD in the drive and restart the machine. Ensure that the machine is set uo to be able tol boot from CD (check the BIOS)...

For historical data use TC2000. They have a SDK that allows you to read the historical data into your own program, where you can program any test scenario you want. Integrating that with real time APIs like IB, Cybertrader, etc, you can develop your automated trading model/decision system and...

Michael, Its good to se that you can cut and paste, however your standard response is meaningless. Can we get a real, more tangible answer.

Michael from TS, can you tell us what is the status of the API from TS. I am looking for a way to send automated orders to TS for execution as well as get real time data from TS to my application.
