just watch.. today's conceited neocon voter will be tomorrows needy socialist, demanding intervention to cushion their declining standard of living. they'll probably even have the nerve to blame it on immigrants

it's curious, the extreme lengths you're going to, to try and hurt jim's character. what has you so desperate? it's silly at this point given that everything we're talking about here is well documented and under rigorous investigation by the SEC. you've made it abundantly clear that you're...

man, i guess i'm just spoiled by globex. this isn't an infrastructure or data problem. this is a structural problem at the ase and nyse. the probs are unfirm quotes, and specs sitting on marketable orders even in the slowest of markets to their advantage. it may only happen 30% of the time...

no free money is expected, just honest rapid quotation. if it's not firm, in what sense is it a 'quote'. he should go wide if he has to, and likewise he should be the one eating the cost of his slow technology/system if he can't update on time. these seem like fair responsibilities in...

i'm not trying to be a jerk, but what happens when you send mktable limits with good expectancy on a thin issue? when trying to hit prices that are already bad or edge neutral, there's less resistance if any. that's my take on it anyway. call it a surge in demand, traffic jam, whatever ...

Hell yes lol, keep that in mind. the difference between us is that i can win a fair fight. great song

you sound like a nervous specialist. take the cancels away, watch the ECNs light up, then go enjoy another one of your favorite dick sandwiches and look for a job!

fwiw initially i thought the Amex was bad, but the few interactions I've had with NYSE have been as bad or worse. It felt like I fell into a rhythm with the Amex specialist after 2 weeks. Maybe that was 'getting to know you', and the NYSE does less sitting after he realizes you'll be doing...

I've been trading globex very successfully for 3 years with IB. I recently began trading Amex equities and for the first time experienced non-firm quotes from both the Amex and NYSE, which suspiciously became firm always at worse prices within seconds of my order being received on relatively...

I'm new to the equity world and just trying to get my facts straight so I can interpret the various views expressed on this thread in proper context. Sorry in advance if I'm missing something obvious. Is Bright trading SLK's largest clearing customer, and is SLK one of the biggest specialist...

he'd be even worse if he had to trade for a living :)

sorry i sorta hijacked this thread. just to follow up, i haven't had any vanishing quotes since my last post that weren't immediately followed by a print at that price. in general i think i'm settling in to the equity rhythm and how to balance price taking with price making on such a thin...

it's a good topic, i prefer the way you're doing it as well. if you can trade a higher volatility instrument with less capital and less leverage all other things equal, i think it's a better strategy tons of leverage on a 'seemingly' low volatility instrument feels like a lot more risk...

in his tv comments, cheney had the nerve to insinuate that other people were at fault by repeatedly saying he can't blame the other people who were there as if he was holding something back. he kept beating around the bush instead of just accepting responsibility. scumbag

I Wanna Destroy You I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you I feel it coming on again Just like it did before They feed your pride with boredom And they lead you on to war The way you treat each other Really makes me feel ill Cause if you...

has occurred to me as well, particularly with the gold spike, inflation concerns and branching out into us traded foreign equity where the exchange aspect becomes important what about pricing securities in %s, reindexed every day based on prev day close. wouldn't be perfect, but it could...

i tend to agree, they seem to be trying to scare off any trades with expectancy. i know i can squeeze out net profit there, but i'm rapidly learning the vast opportunity i thought i saw in a clean trending stock doesnt really exist. i can either slow the strat down to minimize the number...

your comments are highly appreciated. overall this is a learning experience, and those do sound like legitimate conditions under which he may not post immediate fills under the current rules. in the scenario you describe, personally i think i would rather see him gap his bid down too though...

totally, i'm sure they're as slippery as their bullshit quotes, although i think i read something about SEC investigating this. i've got a handful of other symbols i can use to mitigate that fill scenario, and can use my other systems to gauge and mitigate whiplash. it's no silver bullet, but...

some of the time i can split his spread on arca and get part of the position filled, or catch the random straggler making the right mkt, but there's just not enough liquidity in this stock to get those fills most of the time
