    Yep...and whoever has the most money (or can cause the most panic) wins.

    Bullets

    Is it just me, or do bullets prove the futility of the uptick rule? (And that of the SEC in general) :)

    Island Time & Sales

    How about a free data interface from Island that could be used with multiple charting apps - this way, those of us who only trade the Q's could save some $$$ on data fees. That would be nice.

    Any problems with 2 Matrox G450s ?

    Hi, Check out the thread entitled "I need a STABLE dual AGP and dual PCI" that I started awhile back. I had good luck in win98 with a g450 AGP and a g450 PCI with 2 monitors on the AGP and one on the PCI, but when I tried to add a second monitor to the PCI card, all hell broke loose...

    Recruiting practices for Prop firms

    Here is a test I often tell my students to apply to themselves (I am a grad student so I have to teach undergrads from time to time; my students are uptight pre-meds) : Do you think going to an expensive school has anything to do with your intelligence? If the answer is yes, then you...

    Recruiting practices for Prop firms

    Ivy League - please tell us you took that handle because absolutely ALL of the other ones you were considering were taken! Why not something like "BigShotTrader" or "WannaBeTrader" or "MoneyBleeder"???? ...we'd at least respect your honesty! :D

Trying to learn how to program with this is like a beginner trying to learn chinese by reading a chinese newspaper....the manual is totally unsystematic, completely disorganized, and doesn't attempt to break down how...

    the SEC licks my crack

    I'm in the mood to start a thread (better yet, a poll) ripping apart the SEC, the great protector of the Common Man...in the hopes that somebody employed there might stumble upon this page and learn a bit about exactly what the average taxpayer/investor/trader thinks of them. It never ceases...

    How well does IB's Relative orders work for you?

    bloomberg is the only ECN that handles "pegged" orders... pegged orders are orders that move with the market. see http://www.bloomberg.com/corp/tradebook/tt.pegwithdis.pdf for the extreme detail of this order type. because BTRD is the only one accepting pegged orders at this time, chances...

    How well does IB's Relative orders work for you?

    how are IB's relative orders handled for nasdaq stocks? is the relative order basically a pegged order, and thus must be sent to bloomberg ECN? or is it sent to whatever ECN BEST selects, and then cancelled and resubmitted by IB's routing computers whenever the market moves??? i...

    Friend want to give me $$ to trade, how do I solve the tax situation??

    i think it's perfectly legal to trade someone else's money, without requiring any special licenses. the account goes in the name of the person with the $$$, and you are named "trader" of the account. tradestation secs will do this, but not all brokers do (i.e. IB will not let you do this). TS's...

    neotick (tickquest.com) has a pretty cool scanner where you can find the pattern from a chart, zoom a box around it, and then scan databases for it. they have a free one month trial, and support multiple data feeds. ensign also has this, but it requires some programming. i think neotick's...
