Yes, ES, the 910T is still available. Many of the e-stores carry it, and it was selling at Fry's just yesterday, when I went to look at the 930B. The 930B did not have height adjustment, was not pivotting, and it didn't look wall mountable, though the specs say it is. I asked the sales rep...

Hi Sundance, I beleive that is correct. I more or less followed the Samsung models to that point. Now I've started seeing this 912T and 930B, and now at http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20050215/lcd-09.html a 913N. I'm thinking 8ms isn't needed for trading apps, maybe the new...

I've just noticed a Samsung 912T LCD monitor being advertised. As far as I know, the Samsung 19" analog/digital LCD's evolved from the 191T to the 910T, and now this new(?) 912T. The 912T is no faster (25ms) and has slightly lower brightness and contrast than the 910T. Is anyone familiar with...

I have the basic Level 2 now which includes the best (only) quotes of ECN's and MM's. It also includes a Depth Meter (a horizontal graphic bar with 5 opposing colors. The length of each color represents the relative market depth at the top 5 bid/ask levels). In addition to the Depth Meter, I...

ktmexc, I agree completely. Candle coloring based on open-close is right, but volume coloring should be based on relative closes. The eSignal folks seemed to think that was worth a change, and by the next release, we'll see. One way I find volume coloring useful is in one minute charts, as...

I have no love for MM's, Rod, believe me. But I can't agree with you that MM's should be forced to display 100000 shares if that is their true intention. That's part of the game. If you were playing 5 card poker, with two, one card draws, and were dealt three aces, would you bet 20 times the...

I am using Island routing. Trading Nasdaq stocks works very well with Smart routing, but when I tried using Smart to trade SMH, too many times I got routed to AMEX or NYSE, where my order sat, unfilled, while the market moved on. Because AMEX and NYSE are so slow to update their quotes, is...

Can someone tell me if ETF's (SMH in particular) are affected by the trade thru rule? Over a dozen times in the last few days, I have tried to Buy (to cover a short position) on ISLD. I typically wait to exit a Short until I think a rally has started, and so I want to get out immediately...

Hi Vorzo, thanks for your response. My initial thoughts (with the clarification of market direction) agreed with yours: 1. when they occur below the bid (in a rising market), its bullish, and 2. when they occur above the ask (in a falling market), its bearish This seemed right to me...

Mecro, thanks for the response Your answer suggests that reporting their trade is optional (and therefore there is no maximum time before it must be reported)? If optional, why would they choose (or not) to print the trade? By saying "Its just insitutional desks...." it doesn't sound...

I am trying to understand what might be happening when I see large block trades (10,000+ shares) occurring outside the market. I see these most readily in Time and Sales and in tick charts. Sometimes they result in long wick candles in 1 and 5 minute charts. As an example, say the market...

I'm in the East Bay area (near Walnut Creek). Not quite next door to you, but a lot closer than Orange county. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if there is interest in NOBAT. Good luck davez

So far I've talked to eSignal, TradeStation, TCNet, and RealTick, and none of them can provide a real time intraday volume histogram for the Nasdaq. Anyone know of desktop software (as opposed to web based software) that can? Thanks

Marty, Peter, I found Nasdaq intraday volume plotted in marketvolume.com. It seems that it is used to create their Nasdaq MV indicator. Their website says "We track EVERY stock listed on the NASDAQ exchange and combine their volumes on a minute-by-minute basis....." So now at least I know...

Adonos, That's a good idea you had ...subtracting the latest intraday $TVOLQ from the previous, to determine volume of the latest Nasdaq bar. Now I'll confess that I'm "efs challenged" - I've just never made the time to learn .efs scripts. This would require the ability to identify the...

Yes, I do use eSignal, but its not the ability to see the total volume up to any time mid-day that I'm questioning. Its the ability to see the volume for each 5, 15, 30 etc minute Nasdaq bar (to help determine if a Nasdaq price breakout is being supported by volume, or not)

Could you be a little more specific about where you are directing me in these two links with your answer? In particular, are you saying Nasdaq intraday volume is displayed somewhere? Or are you saying to use the Q's/Nas-100 volume as a proxy?

Why can't Nasdaq volume be seen on intraday charts? I understand that the Nasdaq composite itself is not traded, so displaying the volume of all its components would take some computer horsepower, but its only basic addition! What I find confusing is that Nasdaq TRIN and up-down volume can...

Thanks Randall, That was a good example screen cap. I could see the non-SM participants listed in the quote window, and that their volume was included in the (upper) depthview window. In your example, the inside market had both SM and non-SM members. But the fact that non-SM members...

Thanks for the reply, Deron Some comments and one question... I will relook at IB's BEST order flow sequencing. I know it is much more than simply trying ARCA internally first. With Nasdaq stocks, I didn't need to know the BEST order fill sequencing - if my limit order was at the inside...
