Murphy-no problem just wanted to clear it up Your money is with the clearing firm anyway since Tradescape is an introducing broker.....they clear thru Southwest.

Wow, that surprises me! When you say TWS has more flexibility, what exactly do you mean? I have always said the RT may not be the best execution system for super fast scalping type fills, but its flexibility to create complex orders (conditional, reserve, etc. I would have thought was light...

Your right I don't have any idea.......because I was talking about Point Direx not Tradescape. signed.....Dattrader the fool :) PS just to clarify...ActiveTrading were you talking about Point Direx or TradeScape?

What debacles are you referring too?

Yeah and back off Napster already. Man I can't get any free music off the web anymore cause the Napster wannbes just plain suck! And its all your fault. Just remember that when you use that "free" scanner from daytradingstocks that Hapaboy told you about.

Janko, Again I have not personally traded on the Level 1 product. But yes the other platforms do allow pre/post mkt trades. I have no idea if the Level 1 will have pre/post at some point.

95% of 200 is 190 and I can assure you that out of my 200 plus TOTAL posts, a vast minority have been about PD. I live in New York they are in Florida. I trade their capital, simple as that. I think their platform is truly awesome from an executions standpoint and there commissions are very...

PointDirex ProPlatform has been around for 2 plus years used exclusively by proprietary traders much like Sonic and Watcher.....also the Win NT/2000 issue is one of the programmers not trusting the Win 98 architecture to effecintly run their software. THen again I have no experience or...

What exactly do you mean by a "terror" story?! What in the heck does that mean or imply? As far as laying off 80 people, the firm never even employed that many people. I have been to their main trading floor and home office many times so I can attest to this. They did lay off a few...

A little differnent than a "dead pool" scenario though because Pristine decided to form their own B/D (www.mastertrader.com)rather than continue to give a cut to TN as a branch office. Much like the same scenario involving MB Trading (once a TN branch). Now initially MB Trading indicated that...

If its been published in a book I guess its not a secret anymore :)

As MJT indicated, they have been discussed quite a bit. I am trading with them now as a propietary trader. I have made several posts on their platforms and my experiences. I trade using the Direx Pro platform and will soon move to the Platinum as it is rolled out this week. CHeck my previous...

It goes back to other issues discussed on other threads Vinny. If I uses SOES, it is becuase there is a MM right there right now and I am reasonably confident I can get a fill (IE as long as he does not pull his quote right at the instant I SOES the order). ARCA will not deliver the order to...

I use it all the time, perhaps for as much as 1/3 of my aggressive orders (taking offers/hitting bids). SuperSOES IMO is just like another ECN. If a MM-any MM- (and now LSPD as well) is at the inside price, than a SOES fill is just a blink of an eye away. PS -MWSE (Chicago Stock Exchange)...

Interesting.....it is true that many ECNs charge in that range for taking liquidity from their books. INCA is almost always a .015/share passthru through DAT brokers. How this works with SOES I am not sure since it was debated heavily during the SuperSOES/SuperMontage proposal period, and up...

Hi Jboyd, Seems that with that setup you would get LOTS of signals....can you elaborate which ones you take considering you only trade 4-8 times per day? Thanks!

Yes in fact these "hidden pools of liquidity" were supposed to be the main benefit of the Navigator execution route. NOw that Nite, Herzog, the old Mash, etc have cancelled a lot of these auto ex relationships, I wonder if Navigator still has this feature itself?

I was just giving Don a little friendly flak :)

Vinny, I did not know this. Great piece of info. Since I am not Mister Size man, I simply do not use ISLD hidden orders at this point.

The only way I know how to do this is trade via SOES, but I can't stand trading those junky, weak-ass, manipulated, unfollowable, chaotic, no- logic- whatsoever....... Nasdaq stocks. And I will simply not reduce my self to such a low level as a trader. :) Or now that I think about it, I...
