Just take off early like I did today and go snowboarding. Much more fun Robert

To my knowledge you forgot some Lynx/and or, Andover is able to offer Canadian traders the ability to trade also. Retail or prop.

Some MCD clerks would be nice and give it to you even though you were a penny short :D

Did you pass?

Desk fee's are pretty standard. My firm doesn't charge them but.......they won't take somebody who is happy to just trade 200 shares a day. Even though they could recoup the cost with a desk fee there is the additional expense of keeping additional staff if you have a lot of these...

just pretend to be interested in joining a few firm's. Most will than send out paperwork :D

Thanks CaliberTrader

I would be interested if anyone wants to create some depth to the market and help add some volatility. No need to send me a PM Just send a few more orders into the market please :D Thanks Robert

Caliber What ever happened with this? I imagine nothing happened from nothing being posted. Robert

Pretorian2 is the person to talk with about this Run a search here for GNP, Great New Pattern Old threads

so what's the story now with Tradescape?

I'd go though the material heavily. The 7 is well known to all of the NASD instructors as it is the most common test. 55 isn't. The way the material is in the books Dearborn STC and Bioysis (SP?) isn't the same as the test. Robert

MOC orders were originally created for NY as there is one open and one close. Not as specific on NASDAQ as per the open close. You were looking for a closing print on Island but how do you know Island is going to be around? On NY they must be in 20 minutes before the closing print.

Used to do it all the time. I was 8 for 9. Than I saw it posted about on here. I luckily cut back my size than eventually quit. Now I've seen 12 for 35. Ratio got much worse and when they go against you it's a lot more than what you make on the plus side DGX comes to mind...

This is an assumption --not a fact They do not control order flow. They accommodate order flow. They are ONLY 20% of the volume in a stock. Regular statistics are published by DOT services on how Specialist are handling orders. They are replaced if they don't meet certain standards.

Read some old posts from about a year and a half ago. For about 3 or 4 months there were quite a few posts on that. Robert

Investment banks you are working for somebody else. Quite a few traders got into the industry to not have anyone tell them what to do other than the market. There have been multiple layoffs in the last year from investoment banks. Robert

Yep This will definitely help restore the public's confidence when we have another criminal activity related to securities.

Actually too One more thing The NYSE specialist isn't 90% of the volume Program trading accounts for 30% of the volume on the NYSE. Than you have some floor brokers standing near the posts hedge funds, mutal funds, prop traders, daytraders, swing traders, longer term...

nicely said. Instead of complaining about a system --realize there are edges involved for a trader and used them to your advantage. If you want NASDAQ than trade it and leave NY alone.
