It is by no means a "nicer" place to trade (specialists are some of the biggest thieves on the planet), it just happens to be (imo) the better risk vs. reward market to be playing right now. Next month (or tomorrow) I might be back to 100% Nasdaq...but for now, I would rather trade for points...

In fact I would guess that at least 50-75% (myself included) of Nasdaq traders have switched to the NYSE over the last few months. I just got so annoyed with all the "noise" and BS that went on watching L2. Shakes, jukes, and Market Maker manipulation (especially in the lighter volume days)...

Some ECN's will break a trade DAYS later...depending on who was on the other side (Institutions get what they want). Do not cover for at least three or four trading days (if it is as bad a print as it sounds.) As for the previous post about cutting slack for someone putting in a wrong price, I...

EliteTrader.com--"When you can't look at any more porn"

"is it a good method for a newbie to learn in this market?" No, it's not good for anyone in any market....except the owners of the firm who get rich off the commissions.

Remember Tradescape? That's what those "traders" used to do using LSPD. Just trade for a push and get a rebate for adding liquidity.

The consumer confidence # came out at 9:51. Trading desk rumors where that the number would be VERY low. At 9:45 the market started to get hit, but when the # was released it only missed by a point.... there was a brief short squeeeeeeeze.

1) "After company expenses, we don't make as much money as you think." 2) My personal favorite..."We don't really make any money off the ECN charges." This is a good thread for a friday in August.:) :cool: :p :D

Since I bought my combination of stocks, stock options, and eminis 9 trading days ago on the 2nd of August, my universal IB account is up 100%. YOWZAAAAA. 100% in nine days. Thats major cachingos. Give me your friend's phone # at work...I'm opening an account with every last penny I...

Hey Fed you want to get me to spend more money ??? Raise interest rates 475 basis points so I can get over 6 % on my Cd's then I will spend the 4 % difference over what I am getting now Shit I am debt free I don't care about low interest rates I want em high!!!----Musicman I nominate...

The NBA sucks....period.

You sure do have alot ( and I do mean ALOT!!!!) to say. Maybe you are the one with a "hidden agenda"?????

August is a notoriously good month......for cutting strokes off your golf game.:D

"...A $100,000 a year FULL TIME trader is nothing special." I think this is being very misinterpreted. This was a small portion of my post from a few months back. I was not trivializing the skill of someone who can earn 6 figures or more (obviously I know the success rate to even be...

You can make a good living eating the puke off the floor from your brother scalpers; just wait till you see the rain of vomit and run over with your bucket. :confused: :confused: What the hell are you talking about??????

Come on Weezie, the anticipation is killing me.:)

Some shorts are covering in case the Fed makes a move.

"volume- a lot of people call them "cubes"... or q's...or x....or schnizzle quizzles....." Thanks--I never heard them referred to as the "cubes". (But I seem to remember something about schnizzle quizzles:D )

"cubes"? I think you meant Q's.:)

Good stop...it was looking pretty ugly. Every time Comp topped 1400 the whole world started selling. Nice short on Softie.
