check for viruses or spyware. even better, switch to Firefox, http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

I had serious problems with free AVG. The update function is nearly always impossible to execute, due to heavy load on their servers. I switched to AntiVir Personal (free), which seems to offer a much better overall package.

I think I heard the NASD acquires any profits arisen in illegal short sales. I honestly cannot confirm whether this is true.

I remember that for the ES/SP, margin will be 0, but, your broker will likely carry 2 positions. You will probably have to phone your brokers to offset these.

look at the specialists website, most list their stocks e.g. http://www.vandermoolen.com/index.php?sid=12

I would not even consider the ES very efficient. The most efficient market I've ever seen is the Bund - Future (FGBL). For normal human-beings is appears it is absolutely impossible to be profitable in this market, no matter what systems, they seem all useless.

Like E-Mail Spammers, such guys will always be around. There are always some people willing to pay for something they did not see, samson, finally you are one of many who made such a mistake. The police, FBI or CTFC probably won't stop him - his "wife", "mom" or "grandfather" will continue the job.

Ok, to finish up this stuff, here a list of ECN's that probably still show up as Nasdaq: Bloomberg(BTrade) Attain GlobeNet TRAC Nextrade (Schwab's ECN ?) Needless to say that except Bloomberg these have zero ("0") liquidity :)

Ebo, first, we talk about SPIDERS here. Secondly, the T&S at page one show prints of 500k. That equals to 1000 E-Mini contracts. And that _IS_ _SIZE_ I could have looked up another T&S, there are even 7-digit prints.

I am unsure about BRUT since many providers show it already as BostonStock or BSE

Guys, I want to point out that the T&S I listed do EXCLUDE any ticks by ARCA and ISLD (CINNC.). These are executions reported by Nasdaq Market Data Dissemination services. I would strongly suggest that the blocks over 100k are pre-arranged trades, that's why I ask if anyone knows who...

Nobody any ideas ?

Hello, I noticed that SPY also prints on nasdaq. There are only a few ticks, but some are very large, >100k. Does anybody know where these prints come from ? Who is trading these with whom ? Here is an example of what I mean: x = 0 (2004/4/1 9:30:23:0); values: 113.120000 ...

thx NT

Hello, before I look around forever, I am sure somebody has the answer right at hand: May ECNs (esp. ISLD and ARCA) show level I info for Spiders and Cubes now ? There was that strange enforcement by AMEX which forbid them to do that ... was it lifted ? I see _no_ ECN level I except for...

As I said I heard something like software upgrades over the last weekend. I hope they already programmed the bugfixes and can implement these over coming weekend at latest.

steve, I am pretty sure it is not Track's fault. DTN had also problems, starting at the same second when Tracks feed died. CME has several datafeeds, ESignal may use a different one. I also heard that CME installed some new software last weekend !

waggie, you're ok ?

DEF, could you give a comment whether the Person who started this thread (Bill Zimmerman) is actually an IB customer ? :D

Hello, does anyone know where I can get historical Put/Call Ratio Data (on a daily basis) for download (best S&P500, but any market would do) ? I do not need this urgently, so I would probably not be willing to pay. Regards
