Very simple asuming that most daytraders here are using at least a respectable software and if everything else is equal then the only logical thing to do is to fight for the best commission structure. I don't think it's that hard to figure out. If i paid .0005 lower last month i would have...

X$Trade, Good explanation. It's all relative.

I believe that when adding the commissions to get in and out of a trade they should never be more that the minimum spread, at least for scalpers not, so now with pennies it is obvious that commissions have to go way below 1 cent. Before if you trade 1000 shares lot you would make $62.50 on...

I agree totally with samba i made the math also and a small office with 10 traders trading very risk averse and all traders keeping about $ 50.000 in trading account the firm was making obseme amounts of money "risk adjusted and labor-adjusted" So we basically complained like mad and we got out...

"Second, in any business to determine net profits, you subtract out COSTS. so why the hell is TRADESTOCKS149 telling people to ignore costs?" I agree 200% why is it only this industry where cost don't matter ? I will tell you, for me whenever you mention commission rates to the owners of...

I agree with Sambatrade, this site help us the traders know what is really fair to be charged, myself have gotten my rates down by 50 % if it weren't for ET i wouldn't be able to. thanks,

I just wanted to agree with having to pay a monthly fee, since i have thought about it myself beofre sothat i can see anybody that is willing to promote. thanks for detailed explanation.

It would be nice that we could post about firms that are not ET sponsers, I heard that they delete certain post that are from none sponsers fimrs. So for me i can't take this site seriously anymore because it's not really in the best interest of traders. I rather pay something and be able...

Don Bright in the WSJ "The current rumor mill is a day-trading paradise" I was wondering how many traders really think so ?

============================================== well said!!!!!!! I voted for nyse because of many reasons, but a couple come to mind 1) 1 person controls 90% or more of the price action as opposed to many axes/shitloads of desperate market makers in otc stocks. 2) The transparancy of OTC...

I wonder if you trade Nasdaq stocks also as i mentioned i hear here and there that some of the Nasdaq traders are doing better now then prior months. thanks,

I wanted to hear from traders that trade both NYSE and Nasdaq stocks on an intraday basis if they have noticed if trading Nasdaq or NYSE has become either more difficult or more easy. I trade NYSE only, and sometimes i have the feeling that maybe trading Nasdaq is starting to become easier now.

I trade NYSE stocks only, lately I have been speaking with a couple of Nasdaq only traders they seem to be doing reasonable while most of the NYSE traders I talk to say they are going through challenging times. I would like getting comments from traders who trade both markets on an intraday...

It has to do with finding inbalances in the NYSE stocks and then placing a MOC order, i don't know how it goes exaclty but i do knoiw it has to do with imbalances at close.

I am very curious as to how the MOC strategy really works i thought it didn't work any more but latley i have been talking to a couple of traders that make good money doing the MOC so i wanted to start a thread about this strategy. let's see
