Well - my first 100 lot was sold at 154.02 and the rest a couple points lower. No way in heck you could have 'waited for the guidance' then sold. The news feeds are simply not fast enough to give you any fighting chance of getting a good trade off. The only way to trade news after hours...

I don't see your point. Are you presuming that liquidity after hours is similar to the regular trading day. And, I am not saying I am a hero or anything, but I was able to sell a few shares above 150 after the report. Now granted - I was still long a few calls from the open and had one foot...

Well - I needed access to an options database. I run a long/short portfolio and I am investigating option overlays to reduce vol and aggregate beta. I originally purchased raw historical data, but it was in .txt files. So - finding prices was like looking for a needle in a haystack. My choice...

Thanks, I did start the process with my CC company. They will reverse the charge for 60 days while the claim is investigated. At first, Optionetics would NOT respond to my emails - only call me on the phone (which I found rather suspect). Finally they did email me back. So, I took the...

Thanks for the input. It is really sticky. At the TOP of the page, it VERY CLEARLY states you are signing up for the $90 Monthly Rate. Then, there are *'s all the way down the form for 'required fields'. Then, they sneak that little ** underneath it - BUT - there are no **'s anywhere...

Recently, I tried a 14 day trial to Optionetics Platinum and signed up for the '4-week Platinum Express Monthly Rate at $90 a Month'. However, I was SHOCKED last week when I discovered a $995 charge from Optionetics on my credit card for the annual rate. Only after calling to have them...

As I said in my previous post, I do have an iPhone. Here are what I consider the biggest flaws. 1 - battery. As much as it is unreal having a full blown iPod that can play videos, music, etc., these things KILL the battery. So - you find yourself surfing the web, watching uTube, playing...

I figured since I was actually reading this thread on my iPhone, it was appropriate to chime in. This thing really is amazing. There has never been anything like it. Previous comments like 'it's just a phone' are about as brilliant as people saying the iPod is just an MP3 player. Just an...

I put in for 800 at $31, and 200 at $30.10, and some more at lower prices. I got 300. I think I am missing something here. Doesn't this system force them to give priority to the highest bidders until that price level is filled and so on? If this were the case, it would almost be...

Down in So Cal

Glen Johnson has some serious anger management issues. I hear there is a ten step program.

Are there any plans for SR to have IB join as a partner?

Unable to logon - system status page is down as well . . . . . wortheless.

Mostly, these sell-side firms are fighting to keep the execution business any way that they can because the Buy-Side is increasing internalizing trading departments. Another example, BofA bought DASoft, which - as we all know - is a marginal, but reliable Trading platform that everyone and...

OK - I give up. What the heck is a Proggy? And - I really don't see what the point is in debating the proper use of the term API. Perhaps the term is not used totally correctly from an engineering standpoint, but I do not see mass histeria over this in the coder world.

A previous poster mentioned that people threw a fit in the early 90's about the open being moved to 9:00 from 9:30. It was mostly SF based brokerages such as Montgomery, H+Q, Schwab, etc. that led the charge against that early open. Montgomery essentially no longer exists (BofA Securities...

I was not trying to make any kind of statement about "level playing fields, etc." I used to be a market maker myself (regional and Nasdaq) so I know ITS trade through rules backwards and forwards. I was just commenting that IB's SMART logic in NYSE Stocks that are lower in volume (Such as...

Just thought I would pass along a recent experience. Had a Stop Buy loaded above the market in a listed stock which I routed SMART. After the price was triggered, the NYSE put up a bad quote. I believe that they meant to put 56 at 56.10. Intead they flashed 56 at 57.10. At this point...

That interview on CNBC was probably one of the dumbest things I have seen in years. "The Jill's" saying "buy anything - buy now! It will go up". OMG - has anything ever sounded so much like the top of the Naz in 2k?

No - I am not with them currently. Although Lightspeed is still around (post eTrade prop) for larger, active accounts, and the rates are very competetive. I am just curious because I trade almost exclusively on eSignal using the broker link. If you currently use Lightspeed, why are you...
