Yipes. Kla tencor and Target pair. Do you have anyway of correlating KLAC with just the other semi's Neutral Al. That might be the better route (not crossing sectors). If you can do that I woul dbe interested in what comes up. NVLS, MXIM my guess. Anyone that tries pairs trading...

damn, did google do that? :p That's the one.

There is an NYSE working paper #93-01 "Systems and Trading Procedures" which was helpful to me. I think it was published in 1993 so it is dated but unlike the nasdaq the NYSE hasn't changed much. It helped me understand a few things that were still fuzzy to me like how blocks are...

Man, your good, I was just gonna post the same thing, but the page refreshed and I saw yours. Kudos. Here is mine: Seems to be a lot of possible catalysts for an upside blow off this week. Cramer mentioned it and several other market observers as well. What are the catalysts...

One of the first firms I traded at cleared through Penson and we had the same problem, the short list sucked. We didn't have bullets so every damn day you would have to check availablity. The internets were almost impossible to get and that is where all the action is. The worst part is...

You should look at these EXPO's that are held several times a year as that is where you can get good value and network. While youre there you will be able to talk to others who can tell you what seminars they attended and got value from and which were a waste of money. For example there is a...

http://portal.instinet.com/html/documents/PortalSmartRouter.pdf Can a moderator or someone consolidate this thread and the other one which are morphing into the same subject. :cool:

This software is not in RT's league. I have not used it but I have seen it and it has no real distinguishing characteristics from dozen other marginal platforms and lacks many of the tweaks and bells and whistles that the better platforms have added as well. If your used to RT I would think...

Because of the correlation of those three I think most of us here recogonize one of your friends biggest problems besides the ones he mention was that for all intensive purposes he was really short short just one position "the SOX". QLGC may be in storage but it trades with the semi's. When...

Ofcourse. :D

Point-and-Click Trading Traders do not have to type price and quantity data into an order field to execute a trade. They simply point to a price on either the bid side or ask side of a Bid-Ask window and click. Then, an Order Ticket window pops up with a predefined quantity ready to go. The...

This might be of interest to some since more firms are about to start using the instinets DAT platform which I think is the best out there right now. I'll post the article below which is mainly about it's evolution but mainly notice the the part called "Grabbing the Reserve" where it talks...

The hotmail, yahoo, aol, etc. accounts are used in conjunction with instant messengers by many of us which allow us to know when someone has posted a reply to a thread we are subscribed to and allow us know when other new email has arrived. Limiting people who choose to use those accounts...

I think Astrikos has some good info on the VIX. If anyone subscribes there prehaps they could post. They are probably the only website I would pay for that seems to have consistently good trading/timing signals.

I think the jacket of his book on the subject brags that they have correctly predicted the direction of the spoos approximately 65% of the time over a 2-3 day period. 65%? and what does within a 2-3 day period mean. Sometimes 2 days, but sometimes in needs another day to work? sounds...

:eek: Nice call. Had not made that connection. I flipped through the financial stocks but never looked at HRB even though I had heared they were halted. Shows what I know. Just enough to be dangerous to myself. :D You even scooped Pisani by a few minutes. :p spread...

Here is a chart of the two stocks that shows the divergence, you can see how wide it got for a few minutes. HI/KRB not really a true pair but they tend to behave the same most of the time. Looks like someone sold a big block of the HI this a.m. I guess. (first time I have ever posted a...

Was there any news on HI today. Very rare to see HI get smacked down so hard at the same time KRB is on the HOD. Wierd Divergence. If anyone trades pairs check out these two. Must be some news on HI somewhere.

It's only worth 4 G's if they are going to email attendies the inside wallstreet columns a day in advance so you can front run every one else. :D For 4 G's you could attend Both Bright and Echo's seminars, and meet some real traders....all your gonna meet there is writers, fundmanagers...
