I noticed that the regular chart does accept keystrokes to change the symbol but the Integrated Stock Window doesn't, is there a way to make keystrokes trigger changes there?

I don't think that's right. The people who subpenny orders can see displayed orders on the ECNs and they use them as insurance while they subpenny the orderflow they pay for. They will take fills away when the market is stable and dump orders on you when it is not

I frequent problem I run into while trying to trade breaking news in a stock. The issue is the fact that with TWS in order to select a stock you have to click exactly in the symbol field before you can type it out which symbol you want. By the time I finish typing the symbol and then select...

I was thinking something along those lines. It might be better a bit less resolution rather than pay for something that goes unusable. I was just wondering if other people here have tried it out. I plan in buying 2 high res laptops so I can trade while travelling

http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-15-9530/pd I heard a guy who trades with it complain that you can barely see anything with that resolution so maybe that is overkill and 2500 by 1xxx is the way to go?

I suspect this has more to do with this Fed induced equity boom and the hedge funds that participate on it rather HFTs but I don't have a strong view on that

-Market making style scalping, buying the bid and selling the offer. The HFTs have monopolized the spread for the most part and this strategy doesn't work for human traders anymore -News repricing. By the time you look at the news and check the chart you frequently will see a huge bar in one...

mid/small cap and large caps are very different animals

what I want to know is if IB's SMART router does a Thor like procedure where they try to hit all the pools in the same millisecond

I'd say in futures even $100K a year is pretty good. When the next bear market hits and predictable patterns pop up more often, the guy will be able to make much more

Anyone making $150,000 or more a year for more than 2 years in the era of HFTs in my view is book material (at least in my books), why? Because its nice to interview the guy who makes $5M a year daytrading but that guy is likely to have things going for him that most people are extremely...

I contacted Nodoji, he/she suggest someone else. That someone else wasn't interested and then he/she wasn't into either. Futures traders are either broke or paranoid about sharing anything these days. At least that was my impression As far as traders credibility is concerned, I relied in people...

I was up $4.5K shorting GNK today and decided to hold 6K overnight for the bk filling. The whole leak was a farce, the company made a cupom payment and the stock squeezed huge. Gave back almost all gains and finished with a small profit Two lessons, never trust the Washington Post and never...

How have you done since you started? I ask because I wrote a book with interviews with traders and it was pretty hard to find futures traders. Most folks trade the trades occasionally and specially they trade a variety of different futures. If there is no good setup in corn, maybe there is in...

Yes, its a very technical chapter. Most people might not understand but I wanted to have an options guy. I also wanted a futures trader but it seems that they are all broke lol

I have been absent of this journal for a while because I have been transitioning from global macro to day trading and swing trading. When I started I wanted to learn from other traders to make sure I knew the fundamentals down so I wouldn't struggle but very short-term trading (which I had...

I covered my ZQ short. for a loss of 1bps. I suspect the flight to safety might continue for a while and the hawkish FOMC minutes didn't had much of a follow through

What was the reasoning behind the trade and what made such a no-brainer?

Short small ZQ april 2015 http://seekingalpha.com/news/1577981-hilsenrath-rate-hikes-again-enter-fomc-discussion?source=feed_f just betting this meme will run a bit. if it does, front end should tank 10-15 bps, if not I'm out with a 1-2 bps loss
