    For future reference that green font you used for your comments on your chart are extremely harsh on the eyes...at least on my monitor....might want to use a different color. How was the snow up in Breck? I sent you an email to your EliteTrader box ...don't know if you can access your other...

    Harmless fun

    How can you choose an expected range -as expressed in percentage terms-for the stock to be trading at in the future if there is no price scale on the charts? I am looking at previous levels at which the stock traded for possible "targets" but I have no idea what those prices were since there is...

    Island Short Sales

    This is not right. Arca does not have the same crossed order handling like ISLD. If the sell is below the bid, a normal ARCA order will try to hit the highest (inside) bids first using its normal routing sequence (internal match, direct ECNS, etc). If it does not get a match for the entire...

    Trading Expo

    Hitman, One thing I have not really seen anyone discuss in this or other threads on bullets is whether they are trading and/or talking about listed vs Nasdaq. With listed stocks which I believe you trade exclusively, I agree that it is virtually impossible to get off a natural short on a...

    Island Short Sales

    You raise a very perceptive point which I have often wondered about and debated with other traders. THe Naz uptick rule states that one "shall not effect a short sale at or below the bid when the current bid price is lower than the previous bid price".... The key words here are "effect" and...

    Island Short Sales

    Vinny, THe ISLD order stays live and is re-displayed a penny above the bid (presumably the old bid price that just printed through). The anwer to your second two part question is yes to both parts. If a ISLD buyer takes the offer, he will get filled at your lower original short sale price...

    Island Short Sales

    Yes I forgot to point that out assuming Vinny already knew this. Actually your comment forces me to re-emphasize my point. With the Arca/Redi "peg it down" functioinality, the problem is that your order is always passive, waiting for an aggressive buyer to come in and take the offer which may...

    Island Short Sales

    ISLD will adjust the displayed price automatically keeping as low as possible without locking the market until a bid matching the displayed price comes in.

    Trading Expo

    Dave, This thread is about the NY Expo and except for yours (very good)and a few other presentations, the expo was rather light on content! I would much rather make fun of the WorldCo guys on this thread and post the rich content on another! After all who said Elitetrader had to be all work...

    Island Short Sales

    Yes you could get filled at $20 if there was an ISLD bid at $20 and none higher...again assuming the $20.50 was an upbid. If the $20.50 was a downbid then your platform should stop you as this order would violate the Naz uptick rule, thus it would never hit the ISLD book or the Level 2...

    Exit strategy

    Sorry I did not have time to write a book on all the potential answers to this question and I am sure my fellow trading brethren will jump in and add something more substantive to my Steve Miller quote.

    Island Short Sales

    Yes it makes a big difference if the 20.50 bid is an upbid then basically you can short at any price you want. Obviously with the ISLD best price feature you would get filled at the highest bid above $50 (asuming there was one) the moment you clicked sell. THe disadvantage would be if there...

    THese companies are completely separate and unrelated, though I believe (but not sure) that there may have been some relationship between the companies and/or their principals a few years ago.
