I'm seeing a lot more Ecns showing large size at or near the inside. Of course this is nothing new but I am seeing a lot more of it going on in the last week or so. What gives.?

Is anyone here have a great "seamless" platform between multiple software vendors. Or maybe you are a software wizard that knows how to "link" programs. I would really appreciate it. Basically, I would like a realtime alert package with a point and click linking that changes my entire...

Hey There, I am scalper doing about .5M shares a month trading all different nasdaq issues. I was wondering if anyone trades maybe 1 symbol or a select group of high-to-higher liquid nasdaq stocks. I want to expand my style a bit. I have always felt that the qcom's, klac, etc is the place...

wHO'S GOT 'EM? whO DOESN'T? AND WHEN DOES THIS USUALLY HAPPEN? AND BEST OF ALL HOW DO YOU AVOID THEM? Thanks

Is this "rule(practiced religeously??)," just an etf thing or does it apply to all that Isld participates in?

Hey, For a Prop trader, is there a way to instantaneously put out an order to all electronic market participants ? Some kind of special connectivity/technology ? Thanks

I appreciate your participation in this thread. It is a fine line(sometimes sub second differences) between profitable and not so profitable. At my current firm, the guys were looking at me like I was off my rocker when I said redi was hating it, or ARCA was having issues. They assumed it was...

Yeah, I really am not sure if it is ARCA or something else. I have never used SOES. All the other ECNS are not going outside their own book to fill me regardless of marketability. I know that INCA with the FIX connectivity can get you a smart router as well but I am not sure if I can get it...

Hey There, I would love this post to spark some dialog having anything to do with REDI+ SLK & ARCA. Forsure there are a ton of us using ARCA. I scalp using Redi+ ..and it is really sucking as of late. I used to be able to get instant fills on marketable limit orders and market orders...

Maybe there are a few of you out there that would like to open a little trading office...split the tab..im open.

Hi there, I am looking for an office to trade in. I can join the team or just rent a seat. Just looking for a nice atmosphere with a good IT set up. Thanks. PS I make money almost everyday and am open to making more in ways that I have yet to discover.

Yeah, I heard about that from another assent trader. It sure sounds very similar to my L2 problem. Now you got me wondering if it is this VPN I am on that is causing the slowness. Any suggestions for a troubleshoot? Why do you assume it is my data-feed provider's lack of caapacity ? Thank...

I am currently running WinXP pro, I have updates the o/s, defragmented the drive, i ahve even tried setting the priorities of my L2 to high from the task manager(that really made things worse becasue when the L2 got active the whole puter froze)....any added suggestions cuz it really is tough to...

My quotes are soo slow!! My profitability is greatly comprimised due to this. I have a P4 1.8Ghtz 1gig memory 1- 64mb dualhead video card running 2 monitors and 1 onboard 64mb intel video driving my 3rd monitor. I connect via a T3 line and my throughput speed is consistently fast. Problem...

Reach for a new level of awareness. Making some lifestyle changes can help. Do you trade a plan ? I have come to find that unrelated "issues" can influence trading decisions if you don;t have a clearly set plan. If you feel like a big piece of crap it is only because you believe it.

I believe 100% that one can lose 5K(arbitrary number) a day consistently...so why not believe you can make it. Personally, I take Baby Steps tweeking my numbers & working on myself...this is how I progress to new levels.

Maybe your stop in not appropriate...you say $400 swing diff. but i wonder how much of that you would have really taken. It's the whole package(stops, entries, size, exits, etc.) in sync with each other. Ok, so you know this....so what's the issue...tweek the parameters 'till it fits. Either...

Putting together a market/sector watchlist. Curious as to what people like to keep an eye on. I have made some great plays lately...found the individuals based on it's action VS the index VS the market.

What about the leveraged retail accounts. PTF for example.
