I currently use Lightspeed for a pre-market Top10 gainers/losers list. Trouble is that my stupid Vista computer and Lightspeed don't like each other, and after hours of dealing with the issue I'm ready to find the data elsewhere. Esignal doesn't update until a couple mins after the open, and...

There are many brokers that have direct access LII...Tuco, Bright, Assent, Echo, Genesis etc. These will all offer per share pricing of .3-.5cps for most clients.

Another choppy week, taking a few days off. +6300 -2400 -2600 +6000

To you guys who have used Lightspeed. Is there a way to keep the order box loaded after an order is sent (to send multiple orders at different prices without having to open a new box)? Is there a way to color code orders by long and short? Kinda tough when all orders are the same color...

The last official print on HAR was $85 AFTER the halt. They released it afterhours so NYSE could get in a final print. The ECN's ended up trading in the 82-83 range after that print.

Wild ride today. Went from -4k this morning to +10k in the last hour. Then HAR had to happen. Second halt I got stuck in, in two weeks. +3400 -6700 -2800 -3800 +5000 Waste of a week, but the action in the last half of today was good so let's hope it carries over...

With so many firms offering absurd leverage these days how is it possible that under capitalization is even a factor? Anyone with less than $10k to their name has no business attempting this as a living.

There was plenty to sell up there...sold in the .94-.98 range.

Dunno but I shorted 7k at .95 and liking it.

How did you switch? From what I could find on the topic people were saying it was best to use dual boot rather than wiping out Vista. I would like to dump it...got a link?

I had the same problem. The PCI-E card that came with the machine should have two outputs (one DVI, one ???). Mine came with the 8300. You can use both of them for dual use even though it's meant to be a single port card. Then just get another single port card for the third monitor. This is...

Too choppy for me... +3000 +8000 -15000 +1300 -2000

Today was brutal, worst day ever. First I got stuck in a halt on OSKY buyout, then the rest of the day just proceeded to get whacked right and left. -$15k

Thanks, obviously I don't care if this one guy gets it or not. There are always new traders on ET that could believe his misunderstandings so it's worth proving his theories wrong.

Yes there is skill in finding a 56% edge in direction, and there is skill in trade management that creates the 1.6X winners.

First thread I read all the way through in some time. Goldnenarm great posts, although just so you guys know there are some of us robed-armchair types enjoying this profession. Not that my opinion matters much here, but if some guy had a quality degree and a chance at a top tier trading firm...

Oops make that 10+ years. Was just thinking...abc if it wasn't skill that produced my profits over the years then what do you think it was? Maybe you can clarify.

The only one of those firms I haven't traded with is Echo. Genesis had the worst leverage of the group, but also great rates especially for retail. Also a good API. I also liked the platform. The one thing I liked about Bright's is they let you come back to the office for "training"...

It's 1.6X times the losers, not a percentage. "The sort of success that would even hint at skill is much higher than your results." You're right...during the sample period I only made $248k and I've only been doing this for 11 years full time. You fail to realize the power of the stats...

Worth posting today...
