    Adapting to the Hybrid

    Sorry man. I saw it a couple of days ago and wanted to answer, but I forgot. This is a great thread, but the problem is that no one has a clue as to how to adapt to this Hybrid event. Even our seniors are trying to figure this one out. We're all on our own on this one. We have to take it slowly...

    +1050 Good day but not happy at all considering the drawdown I went through to make this. Its just really difficult to trade some stocks without a drawdown.

    Trader P/L 2006

    +50 Got in the best trade(LVS) in the morning, but could not hold due to lack of bids. If I held for 5 minute, I could have made $500 but also could have lost 500 if it went against me. And since I am not a clown who treats trading as a video game, I need to be careful to stay in this...

    Summer Internship Prop Trading

    This is sick man. 35% minimum??? Every day, the payout is making a new low. I think the next level is 5%-20%!! The prop trading industry's reputation is sinking to record lows. They're feasting on your ambitions. Have a freakin heart for god sake... A BIG word of advice: If you want to go the...

    Facing our demons

    "It's not that we don't know what to do, we can't do what we know" That quote up there has been the problem in my trading. I know the trade is going in my direction at least a point, but can I hold? No... Why? FEAR, FEAR, & more FEAR... Constant fear about losing. Take for example friday...

    How does it feel............

    That is exactly what I have been arguing with my mentor for months. Unfortunately, he thinks that the loss limit some how protects me. It only does harm. I'll give you an example: Lets say my loss limit is 200. I get in a trade and I start losing 200 bucks right away. My brain says, get out...

    NASD on the NYSE trading help

    You can try using arca, but you might not get an immediate fill if any. By the time arca gets to nasd, the quote may be gone. I don't know of any other way. If your trading nyse, it is always best to use arca as Patrick said. It has the most nyse liquidity. Keep in mind that nasd also shows a...

    NASD on the NYSE trading help

    Yes, you're right, what I meant to say was that inet looks for the best price in its own book first and then it routes out. This can take a few seconds. But, I'm just saying that you don't have to use inet if you can go directly thru BRUT, since there can be a lag while inet tries to match in...

    NASD on the NYSE trading help

    Hey buddy, Do you have access to BRUT ? BRUT is NAS on the level 2 screen. Inet will not hit anything but itself. Inet only matches orders within its own book, as far as I know. Arca routes every where. But you cannot specify arca to hit nasd specifically. Just use BRUT and you get an...

    -790 Passed loss limit and locked out at 10 am. Now I have to waste a whole day cause of four nasty fills. Stock is going down, I place a market short and he fills me 25 cents below the bid and then I place buy market to cover and he spreads up 40 cents, fills me at the high and comes back...
