There are some programs which will allow you to essentially create your own index. As in you can input "X" number of stocks and assign them a percentage weight, then you can chart that self created index that you have created. That might be helpful because you have 4-5 stocks making up 15-20%...

It was at one time: www.electronic-traders.org anyone know what became of it?

I was looking for that website last week and all it appears to be dead. My initial thinking was that they must have just renamed it but I could not find any info. If anyone knows anything please post. There was a research abstract I was looking for that was apparently on their website (at one...

Futures are not my area of expertise trading wise but like everyone else I am glued to them all day. When I traded at Protrader we got JS Services price map, and a lot of guys swore by it after using it for a while. They have been around for about 15 years and a lot of locals supposedly use...

Trader profile works good have you tried them? Description below. website is http://www.traderprofile.com/tp/analysis.asp Imagine a trading assistant that can keep track of every trade you make. You never have to manually input data. Imagine your assistant recording other information...

When I started trading it was 25 bucks in and 25 bucks out out a 1000 lot for SOES. Selectnet and the Ecn's were even more then at my firm. Still I thought that was great because I was making that 62.50 on those teenies or the 12.50 about 20 times an hour. Man I miss the fraction...

Often, you can use a program like First Alert to find these short sellers that are stepping down on NYSE stocks because you can program into the software certain criteria to look for. i.e. The program will scan your list of stocks and look for offer's for example that have downticked twice...

Your kidding I hope. No uptick rule on ETF's. If you don't have bullets it's your only viable option sometimes. :-(

bingo! emphasis on the "last trade/print" part. On the nasdaq you can hit higher bids without the required "print" so usually shorts are easier to get off because of the less stringent requirement. That is one of the reasons that the retail daytraders continue or atleast traditionally...

I think Jim is refering to a stochastics they use at his old hedgefund. I am not sure of the time frame though.

Exactly....have to agree with goldenarm's comments above. if you are thinking of taking that deal don't let yourself get hung up worrying about that gross p & l number. The difference between grossing 5K and netting 5K per month is like the difference between between making your highschool...

They are trying to front-run if you will, that spike in volume. If you are good, that spike in volume is you selling what you just bought (or buying what you just shorted).

Besides the large fonts, in the book I read he likes to refer to his other books a lot, as in, "see XXXX for a more complete description of the technique and how to incorporate it into your trading strategies. I hate that.

I got a Joe Ross book from the library the other day. Electronic Trading TNT something. About a 1/2 star on the 4 star scale folks. Anyway, in the front there is this disclaimer that the manual is printed with special light sensitive ink and if you photocopy it, it will result in "total...

I've never had an internet connection with satelite but I can relate this story to you. About two years ago I was trading from an office in Denver and called into one of our other branches in TX. When I was put on hold they were playing CNBC instead of a futures squawk like most firms have...

That is not fair. The rest of us manually typing in symbols and number or shares into our bullet software and your already hitting the bid getting trade confirmation. Jerk. :D

If that is correct it would back up the comments in my earlier post because basically this platform was developed on the retail side back in the day for Block. The retail platforms in the heyday (the cybertrader, gr8trade, realtick, tradecast, etc) all stole each others ideas and tried to...

What benefits? Are you saying that the software is that much better than what you had used in the past. How so? Can you be specific? Not to take this thread too far off topic but I have long ripped most of the prop firms for having substandard software that is behind the more robust...

Easier in the afternoon. I used to have the exact same problem with that four letter decidely un-logical POS stock. I "owned" it in the afternoon's but it was too whippy and trippy in the mornings. I get whipsawed left and right some days. Here are my thoughts: QLGC is or atleast...

This thread I'm pretty sure is not contrived. That firms rep is very solid in the industry and it is known as being a tough program to get into. There is no way they would be looking for traders here, you have to go through a whole "process" from what I understand to get in the door there...
