    Bypassing Wall St.

    Meant to say This Happened on ISLD periodically where I would get fills or purchases for 20 or 25 shares. Not too bad with IB since commissions are so low, but with other brokers you can end up paying another commission by changing a partially filled order.

    Bypassing Wall St.

    Chasin, My understanding of ARCA and the reason that I started to use them is that supposedly ARCA can hit other ECNs and Specialists with their limit orders. Where as ISLD only matches ISLD orders. The other thing I thought until yesterday was that no odd lots were allowed, but someone...

    Bypassing Wall St.

    Just a memorial service with the NYPD and NYFD. I reflected back to being in Window's on the World in about 98, being here on Sept 11, while watching today's service. Amazing how the world has changed. Probably the end of my day from here. Seems like a good day to just relax a little.

    Bypassing Wall St.

    No, Im sorry, I had two separate thoughts blend. I use ARCA or ISLD for Nas stocks and liquid like spy qqq. And then just send buy/sell limit orders to the specialists book for nyse and amex. What a nice ceremony for all the people who gave their lives on and since 9/11.

    Hey Listed Traders!!!

    JP I follow a list of specific stocks that I trade. The core that I follow allows me to pay attention to what is going on. I contrast this with a New High/New Low scan which I look at and sometimes select from, but it is hard to focus. As a result I personally miss too many opportunities...

    Bypassing Wall St.

    Chasin, Sure, I get ignored all the time. On an ECN it comes I am guessing from situations where brokers send order flow to a specific market maker at the price I have advertised. And on the NYSE/AMEX there are clearly MMs that will penny me on both sides. However, if they have a large...

    Things to do during the trading day dulldrums

    1Reason, Yeah that scene has to be one of my all time favorites. My buddy and I recite bits and pieces when things just don't go as planed. As for a quick scalp, not a thing. We can't call it the Commander in chief any more, but it does break up the day.

    Things to do during the trading day dulldrums

    Oh I don't know volume we could ask 1Reasons Secretary about: Bad Fills Light Volume And Mirco Scalps as opposed to the longer term trades she prefers. :) Actually, during the school year I found a program one day a week for 1 hour where I would go to the school and work with "at...

    Bypassing Wall St.

    Babak, Seems to me that this would be a huge step back that would be hard to take/make. It was not too long ago that Instinet was just available to big funds, but no longer. Sure there will always be second market plays where a buyer and seller can be matched privately. But for 60000...

    Pin Point Day Trading Method

    That's pretty funny that he would use Metastock. The page I hit had Wade Cook at the top, and someone mentioned Ken Roberts. Sort of the ultimate scamers scam, using vendors names to trigger web hits to sell your own product.

    Savings

    Without knowing much about you, I have found that it is hard to go wrong tucking away 10-20% of your income each month. The above book is one of the best at laying out this idea in an inspiring format. When people call me and say what should I do with this, I lie and take the other side of...

    George Fontanills/Optenetics

    For the money I would just buy a few books on options. I got their promo stuff when they came to my town, but I did too many bong hits that night and got caught up with spongebob squarepants and missed. For my money I would rather be a seller of options than a buyer unless I am hedging...

    P2, Most states will have a test for residency that requires your physical presence part of the year. You should be able to find some good case law on people that have both residences in New York and Florida to give you an idea of how to handle your position safely. There may be other...

    MER fined 100million-postage cost last year 349 million

    There are several things that bother me about what has not and will not in my mind ever take place in our system. In the eighties Charles Keating et al raped the American taxpayer for several hundred billion in cash bailouts for the failed S&Ls. Keating is now out of jail. I never bought an...
