UPDATE: After taking a couple months off from trading JNPR for the reasons above, this past week I have started trading it again to see if things have improved. I am happy to report that they have. I believe that the problems were due to everyone getting used to decimals. Large INCA posts...

Thanks Kirk, I will look into that book. I know that hours can be awful in corporate finance (analysts etc.), but I wasn't sure if that applied to the traders. What do traders in SF do after 1pm? I am doing fine on my own as I have stated in old posts, but I will always be curious what...

Has anyone here had experience working for a firm (MLCO,GSCO,MSCO etc.) on their trading desk? I've always pictured myself someday working in that field but I really don't know anything about it. <u>Here's my questions:</u> What types of positions are available? What are the...

Thanks it worked!

Hi Baron, This is kind a petty request, and it may not be possible. I was wondering if there is a way to make the email alert link direct you straight to the last page of the thread. Call me lazy, but it would speed things up.

Since this was a scalping system I was doing 30-50 trades per day anyways, and my losses were always small. 20-30 losers would only cost me $1-2k which is a small price to pay. In this case the system stopped working when my best trading stocks became priced too low (<$50) and too liquid...

hsanson & vvv, I used certain indicators from June of 2000 to Feb 2001 to trade higly liquid stocks. Mostly I traded JNPR using RSI. This basic system along with a very deep understanding of the way the futures trade I was able to make a ton of money. I felt the same way as you guys...

BSAM, You're exactly correct. Especially in higly liquid stocks like JNPR it is nearly impossible to determine who's doing what. For example for the month of April, Goldman was the most active MM for JNPR (41 Mill Shares), but he wasn't noticably on the bid/offer any more than other MM's...

This may open up the INCA book! ------------------------------ Instinet in Deal to Acquire Protrader 5/11/2001 6:06:00 PM WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Instinet Group Inc., one of the world's largest electronic securities trading firms, said on Friday it entered into a deal to acquire...

Intitutions move stocks, while daytraders try to catch a small piece of the action. The increase in margin debt was due to all of the smaller "online" traders that actually held for days or weeks. For example, how many daytraders actually got caught in the MSTR nightmare, as compared with the...

You probably know about these already but here they are anyways: http://www.daytradingstocks.com/articles.html http://www.newsearching.com/nft/

mamt8r, That's how it was supposed to be, but I don't think Cyber's back-office could calculate it correctly. BTW-During the online new President interview he said that something like <3% of trades fall into the 2-5 min partial fill range, so they don't feel bad about lowering the rule...

I was a pure scalper from June 2000 to Feb 2001. During that time I only traded JNPR using the same techniques that you mentioned. For those 8 months I was very successful, until JNPR started trading at such low levels. Then, to make matters worse everything was decimalized. Since those...

I would guess that the average successful daytrader is in the $800-1500 daily average range, although once you get to the $500/day then you should consider yourself successful. I would like to hear what others think.

IMHO jmcgraw has the right idea when he says "When in doubt, sell out!". I've said it before, and I'll say it again..."I get out when I know I'm wrong". That's really all there is to it. In daytrading you should be instantly (or close to) profitable. If you are not, then you are wrong...

I'm sure Honda lost enough sleep over this one to think twice next time. I can't imagine it was much fun having his capital tied up for 2 1/2 weeks.

Qcharts is driving me nuts! The past week it has worked about 1/2 the time. Today it has been down since the fed announcement. Arg!

Oh sorry, didn't read the question right. I think this is what you're looking for: Number of Stocks Advancing: ADVN.NY ADVN.AM ADVN.NQ ADVN.DJ Number of Stocks Declining: DECL.NY DECL.AM DECL.NQ DECL.DJ http://www.quote.com/quotecom/qcharts/help.asp?option=breadthalizer
