Yes...through the SuperDot

I use ISI Market Machine. In 15 months I have not had one problem with this software. And the support is amazing. Countless times, I have called ISI when I get bad or late fills...and they always fight for me. The software is simple but it does the job. I am aware of some systems that go down...

Bids and offers are good to look at but the most important thing is the prints themselves. How big are they and where are they taking place...are they hitting bids, lifting offers or are they in front of bids and offers. Some specialists will never show size on the bid or offer. Some do the...

"Microsoft and the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) today urged all users of Microsoft's IIS 4.0 and 5.0 to install a security patch to protect against Code Red. The worm, currently in a dormant phase, will re-awaken August 1, 2001 at 0:00 GMT (4:00 PM PDT, July 31), and is...

Anyone know anything about this virus????

First we have to realize exactly how much the specialist controls what is going on. Many belive that if the specialist wants the stock to go up he brings it up...and if he wants to bring it down, he just brings it down at will. If a stock goes up it is because of aggressive buying. The...

Thanx for the quick responses. I will definitely get them. I'm probably going to wait a few months to trade OTC. I'll let the dust settle with Supersoes. Basically it is no rush . I will do plenty research and take it slow...while I focus on my "bread and butter"(NYSE). Does anyone have...

I have not read any of Tony Oz's books. I have always assumed that they were Nasdaq oriented. I only trade listed but will eventually trade both. Are these books worth reading? Are they only about OTC trading? I have read many books on the subject of trading. I find most to be the same...

Never mind...I know how to do it now, after reading that thread.

praetorian2...One laptop??? I think that is great. A lot of new traders at my firm always complain about only having 1 or two monitors. As if having more monitors means they'll make more money.

Two monitors is nothing to be ashamed of. I know guys who make size trading with two monitors. I traded with one 21" for a few months. It was hilarious...I had like 50 hot keys set up to save space. Right now I have four (two 21" and two 17" flat panels)which is plenty. My firm would give me...

Since there is one specialist per stock the buck stops at him. He is forced to be more responsible than MM. DST was not a big deal...I am sure we all remeber what happened with EMLX last year. For those of you who don't it dropped 40 dollars before someone at NASDAQ decide to halt the thing...

DEFINITELY....The same with day or swing trading. No BIG follow through. Lately I'll buy 1000 shares of a stock and immediately offer half my position up 30 to 50 cents depending on the momentum of the stock...just to lock in a profit. So if the other half comes back to where I bought it I have...

My two cents in this totally subjective discussion. I believe dollars alone does not make one better than another. I believe in percentages...but ther must be some money behind it. It is very easy to double $1,000 in a year...but doubling 1 billion dollars truly is a skill. I remember reading...

Not too much follow through in the market. But this month has been decent for me. I finally got a decent winning streak going. This is the first earnings season I am actually making money. I have been trading 15 months and I usually suck during earnings season. I used to try and focus on too...

"Would you rather trade against one market maker (specialist) or lots of them and ECNs?" The worst thing to do is to trade against the specialist. You have to watch the prints and the size of the prints...then you figure out what the specialist is doing. Because Rule #1 of trading listed...

I think it would be a good idea for everyone to list their favorite websites for doing research. I know everybody has there daily routine. There are hundreds of websites..so maybe this could help us discover a few we didn't know about. 1. Briefing.com: first thing I look at in the morning...

Actually....DST was in the middle of their conference call. They said something the analysts didn't like. Next thing you know there are NO BIDs on the specialists book. I knew the CC was going on but couldn't find out the number to hear it. So much for Regulation FD. My friend and I used to...
