    Gr8trade / ETG caused a CRASH?? COCO?

    This is solely a problem for Instinet. Don't forget guys and girls that ETG is a CUSTOMER of Instinet. Gr8trade is a product owned by Instinet and it was one of their big customer's blunder. While we are on the subject of software, I am a retail customer of ETG. (Yes, ETG did pick up a few...

    What is the best state of mind for trading?

    I have traded a few times after a very long night, lots of partying, and very little sleep. Each time when I got to the office and started putting on trades, they worked and I wound up having a great morning and napping by lunch time. :D Give it a try sometime. No hesitation, just pure gut...

    SpecialistMan - by John Bogle

    I guess he finally pissed off somebody to the extent that they were not playing the game anymore. Must have been somebody at LaBranche that had nothing to lose by leaking this insider stuff. Knowing full well, it would just kill him politically. Rome is crumbling...

    SpecialistMan - by John Bogle

    just as the Buggy Whip Lobby crapped it's pant's one hundred years ago. I bet (and hope) that they are crapping theirs at the old and crusty NYSE. Follow the money, and who benefits? I have been trading 80% Nas and 20% listed for years and really do prefer an open and fair electronic...

    Power Outage

    I know they are liberal about the hippie lettuce in Canada, but what are they smoking anyway? There were no lighting strikes within 1000 miles on Buffalo. http://www.weathermatrix.net/2003/0814/ltg-anim-0308141800.gif

    Which software is the best scanning tool?

    I have not tried all products listed, but I have been using Trade Ideas for about 5 months now and love it. I mostly use it to show me filtered stocks in real time that are breaking out on at least DOUBLE volume. This allows me to look at less junk and only focus on the stocks "IN PLAY" for...

    Do you hate Nasdaq?

    I Agree with the last few posts. If you only stick with one exchange then I would love to play you for money in Tennis. Because you probably would never attempt to hit a backhand. Or how about a switch hitter in baseball. Does he have an edge over other batters by adapting to the pitcher's release?

    What's your market metaphor?

    I have often thought of Golf as a metaphor for tradng. "Each hole is a new fresh start" "Play within yourself." "You can tell alot about a person by the way they play golf". "Don't look at the leaderboard". etc etc Substitute the word TRADE where necessary and you can see the parallels.

    ECN Rebates

    I trade 100k to 200k of equities per day. Always looking to scale into good trades with good entry points. Once positioned, I begin to scale out on the offer with INCA. Sometimes I leave a bit on the table. But I am just trying to catch the middle of intraday stock moves. This style usually...

    How do u prepare for the trading day?

    Driving 70 minutes at 4:00 am PST to a trading floor cause my broadband at home sucks hind tit. Tuning into business radio shows to get the news and focus on the day. Once at the Office, I am managing small overnights and putting on a few small probe trades pre-market and follow them on the open.

    Flashing ecn's

    I have to agree with SethArb. I have a ticker of open positions and it just drives me crazy when some jackoff does that. My ticker just spins wild while that is going on and renders that tool useless for me to manage other trades I have working. And While we are on the subject, those little...

    Why trade listed

    I have been looking into trading more Listed stocks. I know people who are printing money trading a few NYSE stocks for micro scalps. They like it because they can move size easily. You have to focus more on reading the tape and what the specialist is doing with large block prints. The other...

    Real-Time Alerts software

    I have been running this program along side my Protrader software and the alerts come in just as fast as theirs. I am using it to filter sectors so I can see where the money is moving during the trading day. It is alot easier than trying to follow indices on a board view. Steve

    Real-Time Alerts software

    I was messing around with it on friday. I will get more familiar with it next week and get back to you. First impressions are pretty good. It could use some cleaning up to make it more user friendly. I think it could alert me to some pretty good trade setups once I filter the things I really...

    WizeTrade Software - Serious issues..

    Very cool! I especially like the volume block alerts. The index feature is also helpful to see what is moving. I like the fact that I can use it with my other platform; Protrader's Gr8trade. Probably better then their Eyes Alerts. How much will this thing cost eventually?

    Psychology or Psychobabble

    If there is one thing I have learned in years of trading. It is that the best teacher is the one looking you in the mirror. What works for some, doesn't work for others. It is up to YOU to recognize your own strengths and more important, weaknesses. I am new to this site and enjoy all of your...
