Hitman, From the Worldco employment ad: <i>BA/BS. MBA or PhD. 3.5+ GPA from top school. Strong math skill or market knowledge. A serious, focused and disciplined mind.</i> How serious are these guys about the "3.5+ GPA from Top School"? I'm always looking for a firm that will lower my...

A few questions/comments... You are going to trade the Q's, but not for momentum trades. So, what exactly is your style? Are you going to be swing-trading? Do you plan on holding for 3 minutes, 3 hours, or 3 days? <i>Would I gain any advantage at all my subscribing to a Nasdaq futues...

I know it has been asked before, but has anyone had first-hand experience with pairs trading? I've just become interested in this style, and figure this slow summer is the perfect time to look into it. Any info is appreciated... Dustin

There was a SuperSOES test this past weekend. Here's a post from a guy who was part of it: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=15885734

I'd say it looks like there was simply a buyer in the 46.90 range for a while. Once he left it fell about .40 into the close. I'm referring to 3:30-3:50(appx). JNPR is liquid enough that usually no single buyer or seller can affect trading very much, but on some days like today it happens...

Besides what Baron said, it is also important to note that the trade happened on the Nasdaq. In this situation there is no way to get a piece of that trade because it happens behind the scenes. On the other hand, when there are block trades on the nyse it is easier to get a piece of the...

OK thanks guys.

This question is mainly for def, but if anyone else has an answer please respond. I have a futures only account with IB, but now that commissions were lowered for equities I would like to switch the account to either and equity account, or one that allows me to trade both. I just talked with...

jsmith, Bright has an offices in SF and Walnut Creek. If you could beat the morning traffic your morning commute should be about 45 mins.

That article is from early 2000. There was quite a fuss about it back then. I think Knight's practices have changed a bit since then. Here is a follow-up article from May 3rd, 2000: ----------------------- Nasdaq Looks to Protect Investors From Dealers' Pre-Opening Trades By GREG IP...

I've subscribed to http://www.realtimefutures.com for about 4 months now. Although I agree that the computer automated services don't have much value, when you have someone sitting over the pit telling you exactly whats happening it can be extrememly useful...especially if you are a scalper...

I use Cyber. The best execution method is to use either isld, redi, or inca depending on what is available at the offer. If I'm just bidding my default is isld since it's the cheapest route. SOES is useless since the tier limit is 200. Filling 2-3000 shares is pretty easy these days since...

News plays can be pretty tough in this market. A couple years ago in the midst of "the bubble" trading news was very fun and profitble, especially in after-hours, but nowadays I find that determining how stocks react to the news can be very difficult. Like zboy said, don't change a good thing...

Thanks Kevmeister. I have had some weird problems with excel lately. My outdated virus software isn't able to pick it up. I took the file off my page. Sorry! Dustin

In that 3rd link ( http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=15814903 ) he discusses tracking your earnings by charting in excel. On my site I have a spreadsheet available for download (free) that does just that. I had made it for some friends, but since we are on topic here I...

I only traded JNPR from 6/00 to 2/01, and just recently began trading it again. Here's an exerpt from an old post and a link with my compx chart w/ indicators and some RSI technique: --------------- <b>Do you use mental stops?</b> I usually never let JNPR get further than .50 cents, or...

I thought of one thing that I forgot to mention before. I find that almost ever indicator works best the futures, not stocks. I don't even have any indicators on my stock charts these days. Here's a pic of my indicator setup on a 10 min COMPX chart for those interested. It may help newbies...
