One of my strategies is similar to this. It started by buying the gainers and selling the losers, but after a while I began to recognize which stocks had the potential to continue their morning direction, and which would fail. If you continue to trade this you should be able to recognize this...

I don't use Laser anymore but when I did I tested a few of the routes for speed through an API and found that MLCO was the fastest, but BELZ was cheaper. So it depends what is more important to you. I do suggest trying EDGX for a while because the darkbook fills should more than make up for...

Get a series 7 and put that $10k into a company like Assent NY. They will give you the leverage you need. Get training in office for a while, then trade remote.

Many guys here are in prop shops that require 10-25k but give you 50-100:1 margin. Therefore cash return means much more than percentages.

I started investing on my own in my early 20's, and made $450 overnight on my first trade. My rent at the time was $300. That's all it took, I was hooked. But not knowing where to go from there I sent out resumes to some brokerage houses and got a gopher job at Dean Witter. There I met an...

No time for a blotter. Two straight bad days of losses put me around -$2k for the week. Going to take the rest of the year off. Bring on 2007!

Not on brk.b. Not sure why.

You should have OB, probably your firm.

I'll try to post weekly for a while. Here's the month so far. Today was +1600.

...to revisit old strategies, and that there are so many ways to skin a cat. Also, the power to trade well and make quick decisions can turn a losing strategy into a winner. To never give up. Strategies die all the time, which is why you can never stop looking for new ones to exploit.

They also gain because you are adding liquidity for their dark books. Nearly 100% of my trading is through edgx now.

Let's see, decimalization killed my $30-40k/mo strategy in 2001. Now hybrid has significantly damaged my next best strategy that I used since 2002. I don't like changes :-) On the other hand I think this could produce some volatility for us.

I took nearly $5 on small size, it was the trade of the day.

Amazing thanks for the heads up.

I use something similar to this near the open also and occasionally catch some good winners. When you enter are you scaling in, or just taking a position and setting a hard stop? I usually buy a small position then place bids scaled down hoping for a quick pullback, then a continuation. The...

If you name the company offering this position you would get a more valuable response.
