Def, Did Ib turn Timber-Hill executions off today? I did not get one fill out of about 55 trades in 5 different NYSE stocks? Thanks, shneed

Does anyone trade NYSE through TS, and if yes what is your experiance? Thanks, shneed

It's amazing how many of of the people that usually complain on ET usually do it during market hours. Instead of complaining, just trade. We had a huge rally during the last hour today, I am surprised anyone had time to post. The NYSE is not perfect, but it is by far superior to any other...

NUTSNEAL, I've been looking for something like this. Where did you buy it and who is the manufacturer? Thanks, shneed

All I have to say is WOW!!! Hope everyone had a good day today, haven't made so much money in one day since 2000. Good luck, shneed

.......It's funny how when someone spends time actually helping others, and just happens to have a business that they believe in, that the few naysayers want to deride them. If any of you had something you were proud of, I think you might want to let others know about it as well. Thanks...

.....I trade the qqq's with them. I get charged base plus ecn. So for isld, trading the qqq' cost me $7.5 per 1000 shares. you dont get charged an additional .005 for listed unless you use NYSE + Direct. if you use nyse direct that your cost would be $10 per thoudand. And if you trade big lots...

I took probability course back in college, about 15 years ago. Should have paid more attention to it. shneed

Yes, have no clue. shneed

Unfortunately I am not as wordy as the author. FYI this is a reprint of the article from the NEW YORKER Magazine, it costs nothing to read it. shneed

Are you saying that all of us eventually will have our day (when it comes to trading that is)? shneed

By the way. Niederhoffer's was the first book that I've read about trading, and one of the very few that I still have. He is by far one of the best traders out there. The question is, should he be judged by the sum of all his successful years as a trader, or by that one incident that blew him...

I never expected so many responses. I couldn't care less if this article is leftist or whatever. I am now reading Taleb's book, and I have to say that it is probably the singe best book I've read so far about trading. I started trading full time in 1999, I remember how difficult it was during...

Not for NYSE shneed

My biggest problem with trading NYSE stocks is picking stocks to trade before the open. When trading NASDAQ there are plenty of services that show you which stocks are gapping up or down pre-market. As far as I know nothing like this exists for NYSE stocks. Maybe someone knows here. On the...

Why would you have to lock/cross the specialist, when NYSE Direct auto executes your order? Do you do it when there is no size shown? Does it work on semi-liquid stocks? Thanks, shneed

Because I trade through a corporation at IB (considered a pro), and subscribe to data as an individual at Real Tick. I have no professional licenses. shneed
