Hi everyone, I am a trader at a hedge fund and I am currently in the process of writing a book. I am posting a chapter from the book to get some opinions on the material. Please keep in mind that the writing has not had any editing of grammar or content and that I am not a professional writer...

Is there a website preferable free that wil scan andl give me all the stocks that have crossed a specific moving average?

You are getting a horrible deal. For starters you can trade at IB for half a cent all in. With 25K you get 4:1 intraday volume, and the platform fees are either very small or non at all if you trade enough volume. Second I think most prop firms will give you a better deal then what you have...

Management is not that great and there are service problems. Also I think Trillium is the black box side of Shoenfeld so I dont think they hire manual trader, but I could be wrong.

I remember TZOO was the best stock of 2004 but right at the start of 2005 it took a nose dive which lasted all year. Basically I believe people were waiting for the beginning of the next year to take profits. TZOO at 100 on Jan 2005 was way too expansive. I am looking to get some puts on...

How long are you usually in a position. Is your system automatically traded?

Does anyone know how one can get invoolved in trading the Japanese stock market in America or is anyone doing it? I saw IB gives access to it but I bet it costs a pretty penny to do so.

Does anyone know any public companies in the windmill business or think that this or any other alternative energy source is a good investment idea

I am pretty sure that that there are traders who trade by recognizing which of the large brokerages is the biggest market maker in a particular NASDAQ stock and front running them. Is there anyone here that does that and would like to post more information. Also if anyone knows of any ways in...

I work at a black box firm. Thank god there were no disasters here accept for an occasional lose of connection or something of that nature. There was an interesting thing last year the Friday after Thanks Giving day. It was a half a day and everything was slow as hell. I think NASDAQ...

Does anyone know if anyone has made or tried to make a program that would be a graphical representation of the Level 2 market. What I mean is that instead of having the two columns with the bid and the ask, their depth, and what market the orders are on: to have a dynamic graphical...

Does anyone know a free site that tells you what IPOs are comming out on a particular day and what time they begin tradeing. I rember I found the info on Nasdaqtrader.com once but for some reason I can't locate it again. Any help will be appriciated.

Thank you for the positive responses, Albert Cibiades and dgabriel. I guess like a lot of the people here I am just worried that my trading experience is not useful for anything but trading. Also not being a manual trader I have even less to fall back on. It pisses me off that in the...

Hey Landboy Thanx for the response. I agree with you that I am at a good place right now and I have actually tried some of the ideas you gave. Unfortunately there aren’t enough programmers and quarts at my firm to take my ideas which are half formulated any further. Our firm only allows...

Thanx Jond. But as I wrote in my initial message I will probably have to work for another year or 2 to get enough money together. Besides why not trade though the many prop shops that are already available.

I was in Genesis for about 2 month, didnt get any training and learned almost nothing. Basicly they said " Go trade and if you make money we will give you more buying power" they didnt teach me a single strategy. They were also only trading NASDAQ stocks which I feel are very difficult to...

The fund is getting excellent returns. The strategy is not very scalable but it is profitable almost daily. They are very careful about disclosing #s so out of paranoia I will say that the fund is making enough money to pay all the employees and keep the owners making lots of money although...

Thats what I am trying to do as soon as I figure out what "IT" is
