robert: how active is this group? i see a listing for Portland Or, but it hasn't changed or shown any activity in a long while. I think it would be very helpful for me to spend some time with other traders, discussing ideas, office layouts, platforms, execution skills, etc. but i can't be...

Def: I can attest to the problems with the quote feed from Island on 17 May pm. i found that Best also was not matching my charting feed by a greater than normal margin (.01 to .02 points). It was out of market by .15 to .20 points at times! Geesh: i thought it was my system, so i just...

One thing i really like about LII is the ability to check irregular or out of the market prints. If i am watching candles, and have entries or exits based on them, an irregular print will flash a buy or sell on the candle. I always confirm the mkt is actually at the print with LII before i...

zboy: thanks for the reply. However first: the question about routing comes from the premise that i DONT have Level II access. I can get the Arch. feed but none of the MM's are shown and only REDI, and ISLD of the ECN's are displayed. I watch CIEN,QCOM,JNPR,VRTS and usually the ECN's...

Hi Folks: Pardon a Newbie question. I just moved my account over to IB (for the commissionss mainly) and I have been monitoring the TWS trading platform. I have a couple of "stupid" questions. 1) If I do not have Level II access – which routing should I be using. Is BEST really as...

Sterling: i just got a copy of MetaStock, could you post a link to the users group for me? TIA regards/greg

I also have a question about shorting using the IB platform. If i am trading a range and am long 100 at the bottom of the range, can i sell 200 at the top and be short 100? Or do i have to enter two orders? regards/greg

I agree that browser based brokers are not suited to day trading. I have been researching the DA brokers, and i am leaning toward IB. But i got derailed last week when the folks at QuoteTracker made an assertion that they support a "direct access interface" with RJT. But i'll be damned if...

Depends on what system i am trading. For Day trading momentum systems (which is what i was refering to in last post) i watch: CIEN, QCOM, JNPR, PMCS, KLAC, XLNX, AMAT, NVLS. More than enough there to trade, i don't feel i need to expand this basket. I dropped SUNW, DELL, WCOM, JDSU...

Sorry, but can you explain what you mean by "the majestic promise"? I think these stocks are still tradeable, but i am not sure what you are looking for? Liquidity and price range are mostly what i consider. These fit the bill (i don't follow BRCD and CHKP however) regards/greg

has anybody used RJT LII data feed with the Medved Quote Tracker, and the integrated trading feature with this broker? QT states that it is a has a "direct access interface". How does this fit in with RJT and their java based DA trading platform. Something doesn't quite feel right about...

Privateer & Praetorian: I appologize if this reply gets a bit long-winded. I guess I have “canned” expectations on what a trading plan looks like, and missed your set-up and trigger descriptions. I re-read this thread and there are some very precise set-up and entry descriptions. And...

praetorian & privateer Interesting thread you have here; kind of like a joint system development. I have come recently to this thread. I personally think you have a tradeable idea here. I tend to be more of a swing trader than an intraday trader, so it is that aspect which i find...
