You need to learn the rules; how can you enter a trading arena without knowing the rules? Don't be like Mr. Rockford. Any serious trader should know that long sales take priority over short sales. All of you guys who think the spec is out to get you and takes pains to screw you do not know...

That's a riot.... the most informed trader on this board, who used real world examples... but doesn't trade NYSE at all.

Every profitable short-term trade is born from an inefficiency or luck. I think that is what Don meant. I do not think that anyone here is part of that inner circle position of power that you speak of. The emotional hostility is coming out of newbie traders and pikers making false claims...

Now you claim that you do not even trade on NYSE. That is not something a reader would conclude from your posts such as this one. Who is the dishonest one? The answer to your question in the first line is no, and the fact that you draw that conclusion exposes your flawed logic. Mr...

Mr. Rockford uses as the basis of his contention (that the specs are crooks) the fact that over a year ago his 100 share order of SPY was was not filled as efficiently as it would have been had he routed it to an ecn. Mr. Rockford also contends that the NYSE "baits" traders into routing SPY...

Mr Rockford, its seems, is one of those types who likes to follow the path of least resistance and find fault outside of himself for his own shortcomings and unsatisfactory experiences. He refuses to learn and use the characteristics of the trading arena in which he holds contempt for, bred out...

Refusing to learn how to make a profit in the NYSE stocks, while spending oodles of time whining on a message board about them. Ignorance breeds comtempt.

The common masses are huddled together and growing like a statically charged dust ball. There are many reasons why it is hard to make a profit in a trade. The spec isn't one of them. Ignorance breeds contempt. That sums up this thread.

Patterns of behavior, belief, focus, prioritization reveal an awful lot about a person and his life. On a side not, I wonder what you think about the pink sheets market makers.

Hmmmm..... Jim Rockford... I wonder why it is that I know, from my own personal circle, dozens of day-traders who have made more money trading trading NYSE than you will make in your lifetime. I advise you to quit wasting your life whining on message boards and become something.

It seems none of you have a clue on how to trade. That is why you don't make money, it has nothing to do with the dealers. You are good at whining on message boards though. Maybe if you devoted as much time to improving your abilities you might amount to something some day. For now I'll just...

Ditto.

Ooops... looks like I touched a nerve of the classless class with the IB remark. It's more fun being an elitist than a populist anyway (especially being we're on a site called elite trader). I doubt mr. consumer will be popular for very long either if he really expects all traders to submit to...

Here are some more great links... and my suggested call to action beneath each: NEW YORK (CNN) -- Three doctors from the Westchester suburbs of New York City allegedly provided mob figures with erectile dysfunction drugs in exchange for various favors, the FBI said Thursday...

It's just not worth my time. My quip says it all and it's good advice; the non-charlatans here would agree.

Quit whining on message boards and go learn how to make some money. Perhaps some day you can graduate from a small-time IB trader.

Wouldn't it be great to have a totally efficient market where no trader can profit but by chance.

If you are an intraday trader you have no business trading at all if you think you need a hedge against an extreme intraday move. I am actually confused about why you would think a daytrader would ever concern himself with hedging against an extreme move rather than hoping that one would occur...

Is that because IB charges pro fees when you open an acct under LLC directly?

Decimilization, NX, SHO have all led to the demise of these types of tape-reading strategies and opportunities, but it took place over the last four years not four weeks, and has been pretty much dead for some time now already (except for nx monkey penny scalpers looking for a few cents here and...
