i totally agree with you. its also just a simple fact that the most profitable (at least from my experience ) equity traders are not scalpers, period. ( i.e., if you can't be profitable at 4 bucks a ticket, consider yourself a scalper or just unprofitable) and from your point of view, i...

so basically if you have everything running on the internet, grab the screen you wanna record and put vnc on that machine. then have a separate machine and monitor, put vnc on that. use this machine to have your main screen cloned/vnc and you can just record with camtasia on that. shouldn't...

i had this problem. if you just download 'vnc' and put it on your trading computer, then put it on a pos to record, you're fine. It would be nice if you have screens the exact same size. the problem i ran into was when you have a setup that has executions on a dedicated line and charting...

and here i thought we were all just leaning off a 'omg theres 4000 offered in snp'.

well a few places have offered a non disclosure agreement. the thing is, your average discretionary scalper, profitable or not, doesn't know the legality behind one of these, let alone how to know if something is fishy (you can lump me in that category as well. despite my knowledge of these...

non event. everyone i knew was hoping it wouldn't...wanted to get a nice little surprise and hope for another month like oct/nov.

and yes, I have A LOT of respect for this particular trader, because he had to hear all the doomsday predictions about how being a pure discretionary rebate scalper would be doomed. and when the prediction become true (please, someone name just one person doing this like before) he...

you're not the only one who's thought of it, you just haven't found a way to make it profitable on a daily basis because you're only 1 person. i know a person that with very simple variables, (for example, daily range) has a completely random strategy that simply provides liquidity across...

also, people have been laying out a retarded doomsday prediction for scalpers year after year after year. and the thing is, they would all be true for a particular brand of scalper, the ones that make money off stupid inefficiency. hitting economic numbers, only looking for price improvements...

the only people who should be concerned are the shortest time frame equity scalpers. thats basically it. most llcs i know just don't have the capital (under 10 mill...i mean really how many sub's have this much in deposits + money under their beds) to actually want to invest that capital in...

and no, not all llcs have the technology to just match all your pendings order for order, but they all will, very, very soon at a low cost. (this isn't some voodoo prediction theres not just an actual reason for this, but an actual product/tool that will be available) but if you knew how many...

how to tell... well, if you've never been an amazing trader, and then all of a sudden you have some solid months, then 'something' happens. thats probably the first sign. now if you're not scalping, well this just matters less and less and then you don't really have an excuse for why...

yep. i can't tell you how bad it is. if you're a scalper, wow. there is some simple automation out there that would scare you...IF it hasn't already started to mess with your pnl.

and to the person who started this thread, i completely misunderstood what exactly your problem was. i just assumed you were trying to control costs on a thicker stock. but the example you gave on a thin one...yeah i have absolutely no idea how you're gonna get around that.

heres a good example. i know a group with an all in rate under .0025. would seem like financial suicide for the people offering this....but hey, there you go....these people literally don't give a rats ass about the fee. obviously they aren't taking all day, and the folks offering the deal...

just saying a lot of so called "scalpers" on this board, people that might do half a mill a day, even some of these folks don't care about ecn fees, they just take take take. i'm not saying they're bad or good, just saying. (i know a bunch who don't care...i think its kinda dumb not to...

nobody here is gonna give you a straight answer on this, because a. if someone on this board is successful, they trade longer term, b. if they are a "scalper" they don't pay attention to ecn fees, even if they do volume, over half a mil a day, they don't even care. the only solution i've...

they aren't. equities, basically just u.s equities...its the most inefficient market i've seen. compared to say, the london stock exchange, its a joke. people who couldn't use bullets or didn't have the chance always poked fun at those who did. price improvements, soes, rebating back when...

they are horrible. oms stops. horrible. all of it, horrible. it doesn't just go market/limit through instantly. its takes like 1-2 seconds. horrible. (manual executions, hey, just fine) for oms its set to fixed on all stop. Is there anyone out there who doesn't experience...

i thought this was your assumption. perhaps you're being misunderstood.
