I've had problems w/ TS charts getting hung up lately, but LII and T&S have been fine. By the way, don't EVER, EVER, EVER expect a Tradestation "tech help" rep to admit that Tradestation has anything to do with your problem (especially "Dierdre" - she is the absolute worst). I just hang up...

Just ask Nick Leeson! (makes you break out in a sweat just thinking about old Nicky)!

no offense... but are you insane or something? (if you are then I apologize):cool:

When you've put on a short that's gotten away from you (ie - you're getting the snot squeezed outta you): <b>The Sausage-Dog</b> feeling like someone shoved a juicy sausage down your throat and stuffed a hungry dog up your ass -- and of course you know the futility of saying, "nice doggie...

I've been getting decent fills w/ ARCA on the q's. I posted about this on another thread recently. Another alternative (that I've now gone back to) is just preferencing ISLD. Even though you can't see the quotes, they usually are close to the market on both sides. Believe me -- I don't...

Unfortunately I missed that one!

Rolling Stones w/ George Thorogood in 1981! Have seen the Stones every tour since. They'll be in LA next week -- I'll be there at Staples Center! Saw 3rd Eye Blind play at a small private party (Paramour Mansion in Hollywood) -- pretty cool. How 'bout this one -- saw Joan Jett play at a...

Marc, Yes, ISLD is locked up. Has happened before.

Since ISLD no longer displays qqq quotes, it is absurd to try to use ISLD for flipping the q's. If you've got 20K to dump fast and you can't see the book, things can turn ugly fast. As I posted before, I don't know how much ISLD's QQQ volume has dropped off (in % terms) -- but my guess is that...

Not trying to be an a-hole, but the question is WHO is your broker. Your replies of "Ours are just fine" and "Our execution times are fine" do little to help me out. Let me rephrase: Name of your broker: ______ Speed of execution (10-20K shares @...

What??? "Ours" are alright??? What "ours?" Sorry, too cryptic for me -- can you explain. Thanks.

-- actually I think TS is still preferencing ISLD. It's just that ISLD QQQ volume has declined significantly since they are no longer displaying quotes. I spoke with an ISLD rep today and he confirmed this. It really sucks not being able to see the ISLD book. A 20K block could be taken care...

Tradestation 6 appears to be slipping on their execution times for QQQ trades. I generally trade in 10,000 to 20,000 share blocks and lately have been unhappy w/ TS executions. At times over the past several sessions, my QQQ orders have taken up to 2 minutes to go through!!! (at the market)...

I need to find a tax accountant who is intimately familiar w/ trader tax issues. Over the past few years I have been filing on my own using Ted Tesser's "Trader's Tax Solution" as my guide. I would prefer to just find a sharp "trader" tax accountant. Anyone have any recommendations...

TIKQ is a defunct indicator now. It's important to realize this. Remember that due to the change to decimal system, data is no longer changed at 1/8 or 1/16 or 1/32. Thus many players are willing to play "unfair" and create "odd" ticks that are 0.01 above or below previous price. That can...

"briefing.com" never make a decision without'em (you must be joking). you probably just missed the spoo discount of sub-2 as well! (or did they interview one of the dockworkers on CNBC - LOL) ... spoos really fell off a cliff @ 12:30 PST!

sold and went short when spoos reversed HARD around 810-ish -- short MSFT now but will be quick to cover! tough to post and trade!

no time to post more, but when the ARMS Index hits yearly highs -- you might want to consider covering shorts and going long. An opportunity like this presents itself rarely and should be taken advantage of!

Expecting a SQUEEZE this afternoon. As of now 10:40 West Coast I have covered all shorts! Will not enter long until I see evidence of the *pop* gd

another blast from the past -- "You Love the Thunder." (just downloaded that as well).
