Which is why traders of similar strategies may find this info useful. Of course someone taking rebates on SUNW, compared to pairs trading, compared to trading goog with small size is all going to vary quite a bit. But if you are in a circle of traders that all do similar stuff it is the best...

Assuming you sell the stock by days end it would be 500/2000=25cps

Nope, divide your days profit by your volume. That gives you cent-per-share profit which for most profitable traders ends up around a 1-2 cps long term average.

No attitude...just to the point. Many traders don't understand this calculation, so you were one of many who didn't respond correctly to the survey. Cent per share profit: =$Profit/#Shares eg. if you make $1000 on 30,000 shares: 1000/30000=3.3 cps profit This is much different...

Cents per share does not equal cents per trade. Re-read the first post and do the calculation.

I agree with Don that 1-2 cents is a decent average. Better days can be 5-10 cents but that's tough to average.

As of today I would like Esig to highlight highs and lows in T&S also but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone know the fix? Attached are my settings...

Alt-PrtScn then paste into MS Paint...save as jpg.

What software did you get. Do you have a login?

Unfortunately I have noticed significantly worse fills since the change. I'm used to abuse from these guys, but it's so bad now that i'm forced to start trading other methods also to keep my income level.

Have your bot try this order: 1)Sweep any ECN's at or below NY offer 2)Have bot check for >100 shares on NY L1 and NX those 3)Then send a limit DOT order at +.05 over offer, or whatever you are willing to pay up. Best way I can think of...

Use hidden size, like 200 on isld.

Agreed, worst trading contest ever.

Could be telling the truth. Depends on his volume, profitability, and reputation with the firm.

Well, you are an easy target...and trading has been dull. Hey, I hope you are for real. I would love to watch someone pulling $100k/wk out of ES.

I know...I was referring to waiting until you come back from your vacation. $30 is roughly the amount you are saving.

Muhammad Ali So...you are going to make $100k/week trading ES, but that extra $30 to pay Esignal is too much to shell out. I have $1B in my paper trading account that you can have if are still around in 3 months.

This is a great post, because it displays how good the current system actually is. If the Fidelity's would stop bitching about specialist abuse and just trade through ECN's and regionals then we could all be happy. But, they want to have their cake and eat it too (whatever that really means)...

I've seen others claim this, but it's your broker that doesn't allow it. I trade through NY quotes all day long on ECN's...there are no restrictions unless your software has it built in. Is that what you are referring to?

That's a good idea, i'm sure many people would like to watch you trade real-time.
