Isn't that because of NBBO fill policy that every broker has to comply?

I too increased my post-count by 1 after responding to this post. Hehe.

Interesting! I surely need to spend more time on trading options before commenting more on this topic. I've never got a fill better than my LIMIT price so far. May be because I was always trying to buy at BID and SELL at ASK with my other broker. They used to get the fill after a slight...

Didn't get you but I'm happy IB camper for last more than a month. Traded few hundred thousand shares already and pretty happy with their speed, fills and commissions. So far I've traded only 1 round-trip options contract so no comments about option fill.

Great wins pal :-) Keep it up.

Anyone shorting both ETFs (FAS/FAZ) in equal value will make tons of money (mathematically proved and back-tested by almost every 'not so dumb' trader). And the only people who can always SHORT them are "Direxion" ;-) Everyone else lose in long run. Your broker may let you short both ETF at...

What is the theta of your PUT?

There was a huge spike in FSLR volume yesterday. Over 5 millions shares were transacted in 5 minutes (around day low)... Daily average 3M+.... Does this ring a bell? Thanks.

Who is this new guy with only 2 posts so far? Anyway - great job :-) Like your style ;-)

Another question - what are the best trading hours if someone does not have full 6:30 hours available for day trading? Thanks,

Low at 11.15 was lower than low of 10:30 & 10:50 ; so does not make perfect setup for LONG. Low at 11:45 was higher than last low i.e. 11.15 ; possibly a better setup for GEEZ's LONG. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2441276" width="600" height="480" />

GEEZ is money magnet ;-)

Thanks for very clear explanation. Regarding the question - it was very specific to the market conditions of that day and even I don't remember exact details. May be you can provide some thumb-rule... FED has some not-so-good announcement last day and pre-market was showing weakness in...

Not unless you plug external monitor.

Setup * This stock is rallying like crazy for past 4 days. Huge gap-up. Perfect combination for SHORT. One minute candle chart can explain the entry setup (too fast for 5M). <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2437622" />

Setup: * Two red days, not so much gap? What was the criteria - confused... * What was the indication for going long from 10:15 bar? The candle at 10:15 was a nice rikshaw-man and telling that market is confused; seeking for the direction. So possible strategy here was to go LONG if it...

Setup * Two red day followed by a big gap-down so it pull back was more likely. * Took LONG position on violation of 10:35-10:40 candle's high; stop few cent below low of that candle. So simple and sweet ;-) Confusion: it was not on the morning's watch list. Geez? <img...

12:56 200 FAZ 5.40 STOP 5.28; TARGET 5.60 After stock reached 5.55, I moved stop to 5.47 (6 cents over b/e). Got stopped out for pennies profit. Would have hit my target if followed the discipline suggested by GEEZ and moved stop to exactly at b/e. Everyday is a learning. Thanks,

Nice mistake...

+1 ; Really tough day. Banks upgraded each other and market rallied.
