tried to multi-task today, and got raped for over $1,800 of my morning profits. :( + about $900

it would execute at the worse price. the prog would suffer the slippage, but help push the stock in your direction by eating away at the next higher tier.. especially if you swing large size. that does happen on occasion with guys who trade thinner stocks, but on thick stocks the difference...

i'm not sure, but i could always ask. if you have a profitable track record, i'm sure you could negotiate crackers into your agreement. what kind of crackers did you have in mind? Ritz? Graham? Animal? how about a tasty fig newton? or even some s'mores? they're very flexible. the...

forgot to mention.. if you have some thin stocks that you don't want that extra volume in, all you have to do is tell them. their program has a "stock block" feature that, upon the request of the trader, allows them to filter out that particular issue. if you just want the prog to copy your...

a couple of well-financed guys i'm associated with have created an extremely efficient blackbox prog that will mimic your trades. their trades will always shadow yours, so you won't have to worry about front-running or losing an opportunity. also, no, they won't steal your strategy. they...

only traded for a couple of hours. about $700

didn't knock anything outta the park but kept my losses small. below average, but for such a tight range, i'll take it. $2G's and change

traded VERY light today. wasn't really into it. $2,100+

:eek: speechless. congrats. $3,225 for me. some rebate work got my commissions down to $28.

Don, how's the non-licensed LLC pilot program going? will you be opening it up to more traders soon? thanks.

nice call.

are you kidding? i'm sure everyone appreciates watching a fellow trader make over $500k in one week. Shaq doesn't even make that much. hog away! :p

Thomas Ko is picking up his Maserati. his portfolio was $5,015,000. ESCL was the stock that both he and the 2nd place guy used to pull away from the pack.

i believe i said i'd move to them *IF* they reduced their commissions to a competitive per ticket rate, didn't i?

with a per ticket deal, it's not that bad. i pay $1.50 per trade, unlimited size at my firm. if i got 10 fills of 2,500 shares each, my round trip commissions would be $30. if i was paying .0125 per share, my commission would be $625 for the same 10 round trips. that's $12,000 a month in...

i don't recall ever saying a firm needed to carry overnights to generate margin calls. i said a firm getting margin calls is disconcerting *ESPECIALLY* considering that they don't allow us to hold overnight. you do see the difference, no?

i never said i was happy about the current situation. it just doesn't phase me. i have a 2 e*trade accounts, an Ameritrade account, a Lehman Brothers account, and an HLV account. i just opened and funded a new CyberTrader account this morning. they all have different commission packages, and...

oh i'd never put up that kinda $$ in an un-insured account. i only put up $5k, so i'm well into "house money" by now. i wouldn't wanna lose it, of course, but i'm not sweating it one way or the other. i managed to do all of my daytrading from my retail account this week, anyway. i'm...

yea, i'll admit, the term "margin call" is always disconcerting.. especially when they bang you out at 4:00PM everyday.
