Ya it's crap. I've switched to Golden, and hopefully will have a much better time there. The manager is great, the software is amazing, and overall the business model sounds strong. Hopefully things work out for the better. It was disappointing being part of Swift for only a few months...

Ya, I only trade the NASDAQ so I've got no clue

As far as I have been told, and what I was told from my ex branch manager, yes - you would be able to short on a downtick through ARCA. The reason that I was told, is that both ARCA and ISLD are on their own exchanges so the SEC wasn't able to force ARCA or ISLD to comply. Somewhere...

I don't really know my question lol Simply, I've seen people posting "Bid/Offer" is a dumb way to trade blah blah blah..I guess my question is, if bidding and offering is so dumb, then what is the er..un-dumb way of doing it (according to them).. Maybe I should ask them lol..

So hit/lift, is that basically punching in and out of a trade and not waiting to be hit on the bid or offer? Maybe strategy is the wrong word as well..Maybe methodology?

I have an odd question.. I started trading in an odd environment where Bid/Offer was the way. Maybe it was the stock I was trading. I dunno. But I've been reading in another post that bid/offer is a dumb strategy. I guess it's all a matter of opinion. But..I ask..What is the opposite...

I guess it sort of depends what stock you're strading on, but for me I LOVE Brut and really hate ARCA..Again, depending on the stock. Brut allows you to shave while ARCA does not. BRUT pays higher credits and is slightly cheaper if you are removing liquidity. I used to trade SUNW and JDSU...

I guess you beat me to it..I was going to mention that since ARCA and ISLD are separate exchanges, for whatever reason, both can be shorted.. Best used when a stock is tanking and you actually have the ability to punch in and ride the down trend - works beautifully and both are fairly cheap...

Ah okay thanks..Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something :) I'm brand new to the software, and I think I might be able to just adapt..But it'll be quite different using something like e-signal to using this charting lol Thanks :)

Hey guys, I used to work for a company that had its own Level II trading software, and we also used e-signal for charting. I'm about to start working for a new company that uses LightSpeed. The software is unbelieveable (I love it), but the charting really isn't that great. Does...

I guess I should mention, while I'm in training I'm basically FORCED to ONLY trade JDSU and since I'm lucky to have a second stock, I can also trade SUNW (nearly a twin, but more volume lately) when I'd REALLY like to trade ORCL... So just for anyone offering a fix of "stop trading JDSU"...

Hi there, I'm brand new to the world of trading as I just began my new career as a prop trader for a large firm here in Canada. As part of our training, I get the immense pleasure (sarcasm) of trading JDSU all day, which is very very similar to SUNW, SIRI, RDBAQ etc.. I've been reading...
