If anyone is using a version of Totalview that, in addition to showing multiple orders, also shows best bids/offers of non-supermontage participants (inca, cinn, arcx, etc), so that the inside market is always seen, I would appreciate if you'd post a screen cap of it. Thanks in advance

I finally got fed up last week watching a 3 hour, 0.6 point rise in MXIM disappear in 5 minutes, and so I started trading SMH, hoping for less volatile, longer term (longer than 15-30 minutes) trades. (I'll be looking at the other higher liquidity ETF's as well) This thread has been an...

That was very informative, thanks Randall. I did not realize that different vendors have different versions of these views. ------------------------------------------------------- Powerview: Your assumption is correct, my vendor, eSignal, does integrate SuperMontage and non-SM data in...

Thanks for the reply Randall. I gave up trying to understand exactly who was part of supermontage and who wasn't. What I do know though is that some very active market participants, inca, arcx and ISLD (cinn) must not be supermontage participants, because they never seem to appear in...

mdl, My question was with reference to nasdaq MM's. For the very reason you mention, I don't trade listed stocks

Bungrider, further to your comment on the AMEX, it would be interesting to know what percentage of the time that Nasdaq MM's actually trade in their own name, as opposed to trading thru inca or size or other ECN's. In the extreme, they could quote well outside the market all day in their own...

I know that MM's have an obligation to honor a posted bid/offer, meaning that they are not supposed to back away from that bid/offer if the market moves to it. But presumably, at some distance away from the market, they can cancel a bid (or offer) and post a new lower bid (or higher offer)...

Jay, Yes, that did clear up my confusion, thanks - the '0' threw me. But having said that, in my latest attempt to use these views (see answer below), I now don't look at the Shown column. North Pesos, Today I had Powerview open (without DepthView) and TotalView open (with DepthView), and...

I've been using Totalview and Powerview for a week now, and unless I'm missing something, these are scams. If I am wrong, I'd welcome hearing why. These were billed as giving everyone a total view of market liquidity. But in Totalview, you can't see the non-supermontage members (which are...

Thanks for the tips, gents re: lighting. I'm house hunting right now, and look at potential future offices for a blank wall (no windows) both behind the monitors and behind me, to eliminate glare. I'll use your suggestions then for the room lighting. btw, I went ahead and installed the pivot...

Hi Nitro, and any others with the same setup I think I saw on one of your posts that you have the G200MMS quad and one or more Samsung 191T LCD monitors. I also have the G200 MMS, and just bought two 191T's which I'm running in digital mode, together with two Dell 19" P991 (trinitron flat...

I seems that the Samsung 191T is a favourite here. The PC World reviews (mentioned in this forum) were good, but then I read a few reviews on this site: www.dealtime.com/xPR-Samsung_SyncMaster_191_T_19_in_20248962 where there were concerns about ghosting, trailing, smearing, and response...

Bro59, Apparently even many of the newer LCD's do not include DVI connections, and most (not all) do just fine without them, according to the Tom's Hardware reviews I just finished reading. Based on the supposed superiority of DVI connections, I went ahead and bought a dual matrox DVI...

I was hoping to hear about traders' experiences and opinions (good or bad) with the new Supermontage views, but so far, no response. Its got me wondering if you day traders are not using these new views, either by choice or because your trading software doesn't offer them. Or maybe you are...

As an individual day trader, using QuoteView (old Level II) is a given. I am trying to decide whether using Nasdaq's Powerview (PV) or TotalView (TV) is better. As I understand it, the big advantage of PV and TV is that if an MM has more than one quote within the top five price levels...

Hi Chuck In PowerView (Supermontage) do you know why I see some '0' values at times in the Shown Column? For example, in the attached Quoteview window, I can see two MM's bidding 32.88 and showing 11 (1100) shares. In the upper Powerview window, 11 shows in the Total Column (as I'd...

As an individual day trader, using QuoteView (old Level II) is a given, but I am trying to decide whether using Nasdaq's new Powerview (PV) or TotalView (TV) is worth it. As I understand it, the big advantage of PV and TV is that if an MM has more than one quote within the top five price...

I am not on the US East Coast (not on NY time) and find it unnecessarily confusing that the eSignal charts seem to only be able to operate based on my local (my computer clock) time. So instead of eSignal charts showing a market open of 9:30, I show a market open at 22:30 (I'm half way around...

Can anyone suggest a website with freebie market moving news? Being temporarily outside the U.S. I don't have access to the TV or radio stations sources that I used to. My trading software provides news, but I can't get it to exclude trivial news, so the good stuff gets hidden I often know...

Thanks Bob, Barcharts does list key EMA's. Interesting though, that in their description they point out how they calculate their EMA's, and how others do it differently. Maybe that explains why so many people use SMA's vs EMA's. Although SMA's are less responsive to changes, at least...
