    I believe it has to be 20% off the prevailing market price to be considered erroneous. Which would be around 16.08. So you may have gotten off lucky. The trader on the other side probably could have refused to cooperate, and there probably would be a long drawn out process. My bet is that...

    Andover 1099s

    Did anyone who trades with Andover get their 1099? I'm not talking about pro/prop traders, just traders that had a retail account with them last year.

    ARCA order logic

    Are you speaking theoretically, or in practice? Is it supposed to use smart routing, but doesn't do the job it's supposed to?

    ARCA order logic

    Does ARCA still use the same order logic that it used to? I bought a stock through ARCA and paid 18.75, while the market was right around 18.67. I even checked time and sales, and my trade of 18.75 was surrounded by a bunch of trades around 18.67-18.68. I would think that I would get the best...

    Trading in before hours trading

    Supposedly if the trade is more than 20% different than the prevailing market price, the trade will get busted. At least that's Island's rule, last I checked. So if you see a $10 stock offered below $8, and take the offer, the trade could get busted. The contra party would call their broker, and...

    Low Carb Beer

    On the label of this low carb beer, it says there are 2.4 grams of carbs, .4 grams of protein, and of course no fat. But there are 96 calories! How is this possible? If you add the carb and protein grams together, multiply by 4, you get about 11 or 12 calories. Is there another macronutrient I'm...

    Do you miss the seasons?

    It's about zero degress here in the midwest. Gonna be like this for the next week! If you live in California, the south, somewhere warm...and used to live somewhere where there are seasons (or vice versa)...does it get boring? Do you miss snow at Christmas? I'm seriously thinking about...

    Beavis and Butt-head

    Love 'em...I got 'Best of" video for Christmas. I wish I would have taped it when it was on MTV. I didn't think they'd quit running it for 5 years straight. Comedy Central did the same thing with Dr Katz; they haven't had it on for 4 years now. (I did tape all those!)

    I looked all over the web. I'm getting all kinds of conflicting information.

    How dangerous is Windex?

    OK a little background...I walk into a kitchen to see someone's 2-year-old, unsupervised, "playing" with a bottle of window cleaner (spraying the fridge, playing like she's cleaning it). I ask the mother if she knows about it and she says "oh yeah, I let her play with it". By the time I get to...

    Shorting NYSE Postmarket

    Is there any way to do this? My order always gets changed to a penny over the closing price. Can you buy bullets during extended hours trading?

    Professional status w/ eSignal?

    http://www.esignal.com/esignal/sign/default.asp#type_trader Would a securities license qualify you under criteria #4? If you have a Series 7 license, does that make you a registered rep? If you're with a pro firm, are you a member of the Securities Exchange? If the answer to these is no, I...

    Only .1% of the population can solve this

    a) don't know b) don't know c) 1 out of {the reciprocal of (29/30 X 28/29 X 27/28 ... X 1/2)} The odds of misplacing the first letter are 29/30. If that happens, the odds of misplacing the second letter are 28/29. If that happens, the odds of misplacing the third letter are 27/28. Then...

    IB Slow?

    OK it seems to be a problem with multiple monitors. I called tech, and they had me drag TWS to monitor 1, and it worked fine. Then I dragged it back to monitor 3, and it was working again. They said they've had a few people call in with the same problem. So if you have some kind of weird...
