from the nyse: "As a result of a clerical error at approximately 3:40 p.m. today, Bear Stearns entered orders to sell $4 billion worth of S&P securities. The orders should have been entered as $4 million. All but $622 million of the orders were cancelled prior to execution. The firm has...

the REDI ECN of course, will be next, since everyone is now using it, which will make it go over the volume threshold.

LOL....exactly. located in NYC. i guess times are tough...they used to offer a salary....they used to give you free lunch from a different restaurant every day....they used to fly people to bermuda once a year....they used to................LOL.

the thin is $300 a month, but after all the exchange feeds, i'm paying $520 a month. kind a pissed because i work for a prop firm, so i thought i would get some kind of cheaper rate (on the product, obviously not the exchange feeds).

bob...thanks for the response...i'll check out your trades sometime this week.

bob...do you care to elaborate a little on your pair trading strategy? where did you come up with the principle....bright?

i hate routing to chx, as they back away from their quotes FREQUENTLY. they wait to see how new york is doing, then will fill or not fill depending on the subsequent prints on new york....when they don't back away, and someone just beat you to the punch, the delay in report filling will have you...

i'm not sure what's available arena in the options arena on firstalert. as far as your second question, you must scan on a group. now, there are loads of groups preprogammed into it (crossing above 200day MA, AIRLINES, etc, etc), BUT in the thin version there is no group 'NYSE." i've heard...

firstalert is realtime, not delayed by 30 seconds. perhaps there is a lag of a couple seconds or so, but not much at all. the reliability is the only major problem with it. well, then there is price of course. i use the thin version and i have problems with it pretty much every day, several...

how did you make money on the travelers, if you don't mind me asking. i know somebody that got crushed on it. there was supposed to be a sell imbalance for TAP.A and a buy imbalance for TAP.B, but there were no imbalances, and TAP.B slumped into the close. there was no gap at all. from...

don't worry...you obviously weren't the only one that got smoked.

i added a new stock and took a beating in it. check out HI. obviously, i'm taking it right off. opened down, then 30k share + stepping down on the offer. obviously, someone entered a market short order prior to the open.

does anybody know of the other markets that are organized like the NYSE, with a specialist/auction market?

don't worry about those rates, the commission rates will go down. use the rest of the 20k to live on for the next 6-9 months while you are losing money. do not trade with it. if you were experienced, then going to echo or birght would be the choice, but since your not, take the deal - after...

i mispoke. it's not 1.5, .75 after, it's 1.425 after 500k. that's horrible. i've been asking about this lately since it will now impact me, and this was the answer i got today.

there is access to bullets - through susquehanna (sp?). they're pricey (5 cents/share), but go down from there. if you really want the schedule, PM me and i'll get it from somebody. buying power? honestly, i've never heard of a limit on buying power. it's like credit...build confidence, show...

i know, the 1.5 is tough. however, anything over 500k shares a month is .75. traders that have been there a while get better rates (i hear). most do scalp and trade the same 1-3 stocks day in and day out, and although that is what they teach, they are flexible. i couldn't make any money...

i work for ETG. why don't you do a search, then if you have any further questions, feel free to ask. to answer your first question: 1.5 cents, 75% payout (20% in reserve). no capital requirement. and salary? that's a tall demand. maybe hold brothers or first new york (while you're an...

LOL....ok, perhaps i was a bit harsh. i apologize. but, this IS NOT his first post. the brit has been here under several different names, and probably has over a 100 posts under his belt. how do i know it is him? because he can not construct a sentence! there is some underlying advice in my...

christ, use periods. i've rarely been able to get through one of your posts. you don't need a job, you need a 2nd grade grammar class. go to college before you get a job.
