Now if there is to be a crash soon, the only day it won't be is Nov 3 because someone has predicted it.

For those of you who have traded at least 3 years, what is your maximum draw down (in %)? and what is your mental limit? i.e. is there a point you'd call it quit?

Physics methodology, e.g. statistical analysis is meaningful for building/evaluating stragegies. betting size optimization is another example. Most common naive approaches attempt to find a physics analogy in the market, such as: a universal governing equation that makes the market...

If I were Hunter, I'd do this again. After all, what do I have to lose? If I win = $75M bonus If I lose = just retire.

If I were to count on physics to help me trading, it would be a time machine type of thing that can probe the future, even advanced only by 1 minute. One time while doing back testing I came across a strategy yielding 10000% a year, only to find later I swapped future-present data by mistake...

Does your profit factor 9.25 mean 9.25:1 profit/loss ratio? If yes, that's a very high number, and 285 trades should be statistically sufficient. One thing you want to look at is the average profit per trade. If that's too low (e.g. <0.5%) you must carefully examine your trade calculations...

You have a good observation. However, most DA traders are liquidity providers therefore they actually receive a rebate of 0.002 per share. They do pay the 0.003 ECN fee once in a while when they have to get in or out in a hurry. On average the fee and rebate should at least even out. There...

Anyone else can back this? I send Izone an email inquiring about the freetrade fee schedule. It was denied out right.

Do you send limit or market orders?

RealTick Do you have the same problem with MMs?

No, my orders are sent about every 10-15 min (on average), and I rarely trade a stock more than once a day.

Did they cite any reasons?

I never cancel any orders. I just send them market orders and take whatever the fill they get me. We are talking about only 20 orders a day. I'm just trying to make sense out of this.

I'm with RML Trading. Everything has been going well until this issue came up. I am trading both listed and OTC stocks. In the software I can select either ECNs or MM to send my market orders to. Since I want to avoid the ECN fees I usually route to one of the MMs that does not charge a...

I only do about 20 trades a day. Market orders, nothing out of ordinary.

So does a MM have a legal right to refuse someone's orders even no rules are violated? Or it's the broker want me to leave for whatever reason? Perhaps I can report this to SEC?

I have been with a direct access firm for a while. I am strictly day trading (large caps, about 20 trades per day). Most of my trades are market orders and routed to several market makers. I do this mainly to avoid ECN fees and also get better fills. Limit orders is not an option for my method...

Driving and trading are not the same thing. I really like the term "high income"...

I'm just wondering if I should give it a try.

need intraday real time stock quotes (>600 stocks). I'm currently using DTNiq but want to find a backup.
