Well done....plausible analysis. One other point: could be some hedgie short-covering too. Friday's action was telling: every dip was bot. BUT.....one thought may eventually lead to it's demise however: the ENTIRE PC market is getting weak...consumer discretionary spending going down...

AGREED. Excellent analysis. BUT: how long will the short squeeze LAST before the fundamentals become "apparent" that the stock is overpriced ?

EXACTLY. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL STATEMENT.... and let's review another recent internet high-flyer that underwent similar short-selling "problems"....albeit with a less rancorous CEO. http://www.javazon.com/test/TZOO-081205.gif If a stock truly has value, eventually the buyers will come into the...

suck.... why ? Horrible returns policies or huge return hassles or terrible customer service....or ALL THREE. Amazon: no hassles, no questions, no interrogations....easy to return anything. Amazon even pays for return shipping in most cases. I used to call Overstock , "Overpriced.com"...

what I discovered from a guy named Keith Fitschen, a pretty well-known trading system developer: Day trading strategies that work best are COUNTER-TRENDING strats short-term. DVD: "Developing Tradeable Systems" by Keith Fitschen. The other item to note.....just look at the price action of...

Bill Cruz and his "motley crue" at work here...BEEN THERE, DONE THAT with his crippled TS2000i "architecture". Bill: you're nothing but B.S.

Why ON EARTH, would you rely on a vendor who releases NEW RELEASES with disasterous consequences ? (all hyperbole and incredible "brokerage service of the year" awards, yada, yada, yada) ASIDE ???

Have any users of Tradestation experienced major slow-down in strategy execution with version 8.1 ? I am an older TS2000i user, but heard that Cruz decided on a fairly major change which involved evaluating the ORDER of the high and low within a bar interval. To accomplish this, all intervals...

you hit it on the head. Try to contact <any> American company for technical support.....if you get an answer...EVER, you're lucky !!! SUCKS.

OMIGOSH... Cramer has got to be the LUCKIEST TRADER in the world to have started his show just 2 months before 4 year highs are hit in the S&P 500. Incredible. and total LUCK.

"Analysis of hedge fund data is complicated by three factors. The first is that not all databases retain historical data about funds that have been liquidated or have stopped reporting for other reasons3. This is important since the incidence of death among hedge funds is much higher than for...

Thanks All... I ran DEPENDS on all of the DLL's in the Lightspeed package, and none of the function names had much do to with fetching data...mostly housekeeping and memory-management stuff. Well, without the source code and without a documented API, it looks like a Macro program is the only...

Yes, I've seen this, BUT with liquid Nasdaq stocks, these one-sided prints are usually never more than 1 or 2 cents outside of the NBBO. With the "wild prints", I've seen them 5-10 cents outside of the current NBBO. It seems as though a threshhold of 2-3 cents should be used to "filter" the...

short answer: BOTH. To be able to enter orders would require the ability to monitor the PRINTS coming thru....which are available by querying the "handle" of one of the GUI components of the Lightspeed interface. Again, I've been told this is possible with a certain "macro" program thru it's...

Ah ! Because the vendor has provided no API to the platform, NOR the datastream and the technical support team is down to a skeleton crew of "nobodys" who can do "nothing". Remember: Wallstreet somewhat in shambles right now from this trading environment. Technical support and what-not are the...

But wait...despite the RISE of the quants, we have had a SIMULTANEOUS "event" of ultra-low VIX. Are you sure you want to correlate your stalling P&L with the quants, when IN FACT, it may be the lack of volatility in the equity markets ? Be careful here.

Thanks all for the replies. This indicates a need to IDENTIFY and ignore these trades for the purposes of an AUTOMATED STOP LOSS feature for instance. These "late" prints could erroneously force an exit of an existing position when in fact, the "inside" price was far from the "print" price...

Could someone please offer some advice ? : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lightspeed with it's VPN has a very fast and reliable data feed....several seconds faster than ESignal or QCharts in many cases. However, the trading platform technical...

using the ever-so-fast and reliable Lightspeed with Nasdaq-traded equities, every once in a while, I see a "wild-and-crazy" print, usually of high volume come across several cents outside of the Best bid and ask. Can someone explain to me what causes this ? Is it possibly a case where these...

Once heard from a wise man: "takes a few weeks to learn, but a LIFE TIME to master". Applies to poker....applies to trading. Hey Stevie Cohen, "you trading strictly using indicators" ? NO WAY. Hey Eddie Lampert, "you make that Kmart bet using stochastics" ? NO WAY. (Big joke...lots of...
