I too discovered that ARCA no longer works like it used to for listed stocks. I used to use ARCA sometimes for listed stocks because it would still route through SuperDot and it was cheaper than ISI. But now that they have this ArcaEx thing you get filled with the PSE. I found this out the...

Anyone have anything to say about ArcaEx? I can't seem to find much information out about it..... Maybe no one's using it? Leland

Please post here if you find out any more information about obtaining the "illusive" NYSE rulebook. I am interested in picking up one myself. I'm sure it makes for great bedtime reading (LOL). Probably a good way to put oneself to sleep.... Leland

I just finished reading through some Q&A stuff on the nasdaq site regarding SuperMontage. I'm not sure I like the idea of market makers being able to use the SIZE ID. If I read it correctly multiple market makers will be able to bid and offer under the size ID thus keeping their anonymity. I...

rs7, It's interesting that an equities veteran like yourself is talking about how difficult trading equities has become. I think that speaks volumes.... Leland

Yes I was filled .05 over the nyse offer via ArcaEx. It was a 3,000 share order. Still trying to figure this whole ArcaEx thing out... Leland

Anyone have any experience with ArcaEx? I had been previously using ARCA on occasions to place listed stock trades because Arca would route directly to Superdot (the NYSE specialist would then fill the order). I guess since the implementation of ArcaEx this is no longer the case. I put in a...

ARCA was terrible today as was ISI for me. I missed out on several good fills this morning because my ISI orders wouldn't route to superdot for some reason. I was also told that now with ARCAEx ARCA will not route to superdot anymore. Everything gets routed to the Pacific Stock Exchange??? Leland

Anyone here have trouble with ISI today? My orders would go live but no fills, and I had orders that sat out there for 3 minutes with prints going off. I use ISI to route to DOT for my listed trades. Anyone have any opinions on this ARCA-Ex thing? Leland

I don't live in Vegas but here is a site that has lots of homes for rent in Vegas. Maybe it's better to rent for awhile and see if you like it there? http://www.lasvegashomes4rent.com Leland

Worldco has a new office in Tampa. Not sure where they are located though... Leland

Brandon, What time did you short CHS? Were there upticks available? Where was your stop? Thanks, Leland

Brandon, Good thread going here. I too play a lot of news plays. Not much going on today however. The market just seems kind of weird to me for some reason. Really can't put a finger on it either.... Leland

I use ISI for my listed stock trades. I believe it goes straight to the floor. I don't find it to be slow at all. Although some of those specialists are slow (LOL)... Leland

I think it's fine to experiment a little. I guess I am referring to those traders who are constantly changing system or strategies and trying to find the holy grail. In the meantime they just keep getting chewed up.... Man did I ever miss some great opportunities today. Back at it tomorrow I...

Interesting thought about being a consistent trader. I guess a trader probably should stick to their style as long as it is working ok. It's probably a dangerous thing to try and switch styles too often and try to adjust to the market? Find something that works well (like buying strength) and...

Great responses here on the thread. Plenty of "food for thought." larrybf: I have messed around with playing news stock the day after (as you so eloquently put it). Haven't really found any consistency here either but it does have potential. I agree with you that news stocks are probably some...

I really don't like scalping for .10 or whatever. I want to be able to take 5-10K shares of stock XYZ and ride it for .75 or more.. That is trading to me!!! Leland

I've messed around with fading the gaps but still haven't had much luck with it.

I am looking for some input into what you feel is the most consistent daytrading style. I have been trading quite some time now and have been focusing on listed news plays for quite some time now. Lately I haven't been able to find too many good plays. Most of these plays are gapping up (or...
