    ESTX 50 and Dax spike 11:30 ET

    Looks like a lot of the indexes are not confirming each others' moves either up or down and some people decided to close their positions before going home?

    NYSE to announce new hours

    Actually, I brought up the NYSE not to accuse or ridicule their trading system but the "market" in general. As a matter of fact I trade some NYSE-listed stuff and considering market conditions, can't blame them. 2-3 years ago the whole country was very happy with all securities exchanges...

    NYSE to announce new hours

    Since little movement (price or volume wise) if any, now happens after the 1st hour, the NYSE will be announcing a change of hours from 9:30am EST to 10:30am EST. This should make the remaining daytraders happy since they can now play the market and go to their jobs right after.:D A second...

    SSFs - Do they suck?

    That's the idea of all these pickpockets...run up a whole series of transactions and then call their "products" successful since it created a whole lot of volume for nothin'!

    The only opportunity in more crap product being traded in this market condition is for exchanges, brokers and market makers.

    Shorting

    Don, Does the broker notify you that you're forced to "return" the shares? Or are they simply liquidated from your account as if it were a margin call? I always thought that if I shorted a stock I could hold onto the short shares indefinetely as long as I could put up any further required...

    Leading Industry Groups

    Which industries do you keep an eye out for in order to get an early sense of market direction or confirmation? In other words, a group of stocks that tends to make a move either before the market does or do not confirm the latest move. Some groups I've seen mentioned are biotechs, airlines...

    Tradestation or Metastock

    IB is an excellent data feed for TradeStation. If your system can handle a bad tick and keep on ticking, give ts and ib a try. Btw, I don't know of any method that will work right, unattended. Are you in the office while the system is running or will you be away?
