Hey Peil, It seems everyone is busy trading and couldn't answer your question. Since I'm sidelined at the moment, I'll give it a shot. Was it a listed security (NYSE) by any chance? If it was then, that person was obviously trying to avoid the blackboxes from detecting his order and...

Constant bombardment with cheesy ads from the bucket shops seem to be working, or at least they're getting some attention from the newbies. Happy Trading :)

I would pretty much use IB for data and order executions only, but I'd definitely use a third party platform and/or software for everything else. Happy trading :)

Hey Casper, I'd like to throw in my newbie .02 cents. If it was a listed stock, which it seems to be by the way it transacted, it's a common and normal practice by the specialist. The specialist does not need to honor the NBBO for the sake of order flow. In your case, you seemed to have held...

Hey, I'm a newbie like yourself, infact it's going to be exactly a year this month since I've gone live with real money. I started out with a small account like yourself and swing trading. If I may say so, I am glad I started out with slow moving securities with small trading ranges until I...

Hi all, I just found this while doing a search on the net. According to the features page, it essentially does what Camtasia does but for a fraction of the price. It's even got a free trial version. I'm going to download it over the weekend and let you guys know how it works. Here's the link...

Hey nimrodeo, You're correct, it's all of the above. This system works best on securities with some movement and volume, for example, gap ups and downs due to unexpected earnings, mergers, upgrades, downgrades etc. You could follow the news, stay on top of the after market and pre market...

Hey Harold, I'd go with the nForce 4 SLI Deluxe. It supports the dual channel memory setup and has two lan ports. I was thinking of plugging in both the ADSL and cable into each ports and have the ability to switch on the fly. I usually buy all my parts from Newegg.com. Here's a link to the...

How about this one for starters: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2397&p=27 Anandtech and Tom's hardware are two of the most widely trusted tinkerer's web sites on the internet IMHO. PS: Moderator, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post direct links, but if not, please...

Hey Harold, I'm building one myself next month. I'm opting for either Abit (expensive) or Asus MB with 939 socket and an Athlon64 X2. I'm also a hardcore flight simmer so I'm going for the SLI setup. PM me if you need any help. Happy trading :)

It will run at PC2100 speed :)

Just this week they came out with a report that a lot of people were late on their credit card payments due to increase in gasoline prices. So how's doubling the monthly minimum credit card payment going to help people and the economy. Okay, I get it now, it's not that people can't afford...

It could be done but not for the novice hardware tinkerer. It is especially true if the new m/b is of different chipsets and design. At the very least Windows would ask you to re-register as it will detect new hardware components. Have fun :)

If you use Cybertrader, they have a strategy center which allows you to define your own technical strategy. It will continuously scan the markets of your choice or your own symbol list and give you alerts as soon as the conditions are met. The signals could also be displayed on the charts as...

It's not where you made the money, it's what you are that matters the most. Happy trading to your a million bucks :)

Using new inexperienced prop traders as cannon fodders to generate huge volumes. It makes sense. Happy trading :)

Sounds like you're in it just for the excitement and not for the money. I'm not sure if it's good for the motivation or not. Happy trading :)

End of day = Stock fetcher Intraday = Trade-ideas Absolutely no programming skills required :cool: Have fun :)

Yikes :eek: Did you look into the futures contracts, it'll be really hard to get ahead with those kinds of commisions.
