    Earnings Calendar?

    Anyone know where I can find a place that has all the company earnings releases listed on a calendar? I mean, I could just go to every company's website and look it up but I was hoping that there would be a collection of this data somewhere. Thanks

    Rebate trading.

    I'm guessing that your limit order would be executed immediately upon the stock hitting (or going below) your price so no. That would be removing liquidity and you would be charged (unless you have free access to specific ECNs).

    Rebate trading.

    do you have an exact link to where that conclusion is found? I tried navigating the SEC site and I can't seem to find it.

    Tick increment for stocks

    Here: http://www.inetats.com/support/subpenny/index.asp Is a list of stocks that trade in sub-penny increments. Keep in mind that the sub-penny will be eliminated as of Jan.31/06 due to NMS. However, they are currently debating if the Q's will stay sub-penny due to it's derivative nature...

    Rebate trading.

    What you're thinking about is the sub-penny stocks. The sub-penny pricing on certain stocks is ending Jan.31/06 due to the NMS that the SEC is putting in. ECNs pay for liquidity in order to entice people to use their ECN. An ECN with higher liquidity is more likely to be used by people with...

    Rebate trading.

    Adding liquidity means joining the bid or the ask as opposed to taking it away. Then when you get filled the ECN gives you credit. Example: Size on the bid is currently 200 on ISB....I want to get my credits for adding liquidity so I bid 1000 shares on ISB. The size on ISB is now 210 on the...

    SPX Historical Data

    Hello, I'm looking for some SPX historical data that includes if the price gapped up or down. Yahoo has good data but their close price is the same as the open price on every entry. Anyone know where I can find this data?

    Pretty good day today although I missed sooooo many trades due to the lack of direction from the S&P. I was ready to punch and then it would just swipe the whole level. Oh well. Beat my "Friday Curse"

    Trader P/L 2005

    done for today. +$500 w00t! I did as some suggested and worked on my entry points. I was also a lot more patient today and "took a breath" after a bunch of winning trades so I could go back in without emotions clouding my judgement. Seems to have paid off and I hope to repeat tomorrow...

    What should my "trigger" be for taking a break?

    Ahh yes! After doing a little more analysis of my problem I've realized a couple things: 1) I have tended to obsessively check my P/L after every trade lately 2) My system works extremely well when the S&P has a clear direction and the times I get screwed are when it's been flip-flopping...

    +107. Two words for today: Super Churn. My gross today was -750! I see a recurring theme here this week and I noticed something today. I would make a ton of great trades in a row then I would get a whole bunch of losers in a row and I wasn't able to control my risk as tight as I usually do...

    What should my "trigger" be for taking a break?

    Continued from the Trader P/L thread, I've found that after I make a lot of positive trades in a row I tend to make a bunch of negative ones ruining my entire gain (and sometimes more). This results in a constant churning throughout the day that I wish to be rid of. My idea is to take a small...

    yeah I tried it but it didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know today. Pulled up SEBL, JDSU, SIRI, yadda yadda. Thanks anyway though. I'll keep checking on it periodically.

    wow what an odd day. +60. Churned from -20 to 0 all day until 1pm and then I managed to make some. Then I lost it all down to 0 and then I made it back..LOL

    System down somewhere?

    Anyone notice today that on a whole bunch of stocks the size decreased dramtically in the morning, then came back around 1 and then went down for about 10 minutes around 2? Any thoughts as to the cause?

    +300. Our quotes went down for an hour and a bit this afternoon when the S&P started getting direction again. Otherwise I probably would have been higher. Still a good day all-in-all.
