    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    You said that you were new to trading stocks, I think, so I assumed you were new to trading. Forgive my assumption. I didn't say that fills were not important, just not as nearly as important as many other things, especially for someone new, even new to just stocks. It is more important of...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    In my opinion, you are getting way too worked up and putting way too much emphasis on fill prices. I want to be frank with you and tell you truthfully that as a discretionary trader that will not make or break your success as a trader. There are many other things that are much more important...

    This is impossible to answer without seeing specific examples.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    All orders to the nyse go through sdot. To verify your order is there, it should appear on the open book within seconds. If not, you need to find out where that default is routing too or talk to IB.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    If you are offering on nyse or amex (through dot) it cannot trade higher without filling you, unless the trade occured just before or as you sent your order. Once your order is on the book for a minute, there for sure wont be a trade-through, and it is very rare to see a trade-through after...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    It's clear to everyone except Rockford. He refuses to accept the simple fact of Price>Time>Size... easy as ABC. I lost count of the times I've corrected him. It's simple for a child, not apparently for Rockford who says you have to be a lawyer or regulatory expert to understand and...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    There are all sorts of players positioning bids and offers for all sorts of reasons. Over the past five years as automated trading became more prevalent and more individual traders obtained access to automated systems, this has increased exponentially. That is why sometimes you see "shadow" bids...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Mr. Rockford you make false claims and put forth your own intrepretation of the rules along with conspiracy theories, and then when invited to substantiate these you back away, just as you accuse the specialist of doing every time you send an order to the NYSE.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    You are wrong, and someone more knowledgeable is correcting you. The problem is that you refuse to accept it. Price>Time>Size - Why is this so difficult for you? Also, you do not need to be a lawyer or regulatory expert to understand this as you stated. You have the opportunity now...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    I suppose you are here conceding then? Did you call your broker? You see, you did not have to be a lawyer, you just needed to talk to a knowledgable person. Price/time/size ABC.. even a 6 years old can understand it.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Knowing price, order, time, is a simple thing, and if you are trading as a CAREER it is a fundamental thing to know. Why do you think that esoteric? Is it not the same on NASDAQ?

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    I suppose than by your thinking that a surgeon who might perform on you ought to think it silly to waste resources on knowing the different esoteric nuances of different tools that he might be sticking inside of you. 95% fail rate.... this is why folks.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    What is so difficult in knowing the order priority of price, time, size?? It's as easy as abc (even though Mr. Rockford has trouble grasping it) and if you think that is difficult, then you are definitely in the wrong career!

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Wrong again on all four counts. Price - time - size is the order of priority. Since you are too blinded by your ego and full of yourself to listen to reason from me, call your broker.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Time clearly has priority according to the rule (with the exception of a cross trade of course). Since you are a retail trader, call your broker and ask for a registered person to confirm this. You are wrong to state otherwise. You ask others to make efforts to learn the rules while you...

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    I wonder if you are new to the English language? Please read the section again, and after some time, I suspect, that you will conclude that you are making a fool of yourself. Lets also see if you are honorable enough to apologize.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    The paragraph that you deleted is the one that states the time priority. Nice try.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    Why did you type asterisks to replace paragraph 'I(a)' ??? That is the paragraph that shows you are wrong, that's why.

    Observations on the NYSE specialist.

    All you do is talk out of your ass. More disinformation. You also ignore the fact that it was already demonstrated that you are a charlatan. Just here to add to the evidence?
