I've done this on a list of about 50 funds in wealth-lab, powerful app

I would have to agree, when bored one is able to see trades that aren't there, basically forcing the market; a bad idea

Yes, I do. The times when I day trade I tend to catch all the big moves and make big bucks and then lose a lot of it when the market really isn't going anywhere because I never have the patience to wait for movement. Don't know how to keep me from trading when I shouldn't, haha.

Got home a little early and figured I would take a look at positions and act now if needed. XEDA did not reach profit target and I don't like how it's looking so exited just now at 1.23 instead of waiting for tomorrow morning. It's trading light volume with a 3 cent spread, I'll try to get more...

Yes, I most likely will when I start approaching 5kish. That's also a reason why I'm starting to experiment with larger cap stocks, to make it easier to continue trading as capital balloons.

Didn't get fills on my two paper trades, will try again with... CVC @ 25.30 GBM @ 26.18 For my normal account I'm playing XEDA @ 1.25 BUY 2680 shares of XEDA, Axeda Systems at LIMIT of 1.25 DAY

Yes, I have heard that from many. I guess what looks risky to some doesn't necessarily look risky to others, depends on the trader.

In and out of GASE, 1.61 to 1.65. Both CDN and APA would've worked out if I had gotten my fills. This is all a learning process for me, with this more expensive stuff I may try using at market entries, less chance of a bad gap. 2/9/04 Current Equity: $3,350.93 Starting Equity: $2,500.00...

Interesting, I understand now I think. Do you still arb them or do you think the risks outweigh the rewards?

Do you have any examples? It looks to me like they track each other pretty closely, especially on the daily scale.

Seems like a free lunch, lol. What's the risk? Seems very little, it's not like the indices will experience any significant divergence.

Is it just me or is there still money to be made in stat arbs (pair trading) ES, YM, NQ? Just pull up any intraday chart of any 2 of these, you'll notice situatiations where one of them overexaggerated a move in which another merely dropped a few ticks. I know there are large firms playing these...

My play for friday was JMAR but didn't get my fill, lol. Oh well, can't win 'em all, made quite a bit on my options position that I put in thursday at close. Play for monday is GASE. BUY 2030 shares of GASE, Gasco Energy Inc at LIMIT of 1.61 DAY Also, I recently remembered that I was...

I caught friday's move from open, did you?

on what instrument/exchange would a limit order not be elligible for price improvement?

BOX will allow tigher spreads, a major advantage of CBOE

Too bad I only filled a fraction of my order, could've been a quality day; nevertheless, a profit is a profit 2/5/04 Current Equity: $3,269.91 Starting Equity: $2,500.00 (1/1/04) Current Return: 30.79% 10 Winners/1 Loser Past Trades IONA 6.59% 1/2/04 GMAI 2.07% 1/5/04 SITI -4.24%...

In another thread, Scientist mentioned something that you may find useful in your studies, here is the gyst of it.. Remember, the market is always in search of volume/liquidity. It will move to where volume is, if the market is at 1005 and there is a lot of buying pressure at 1000, the market...

Read my post, the last one since this one. I observe this actually the majority of the time, recently I have been using it in my trading even to help me with exiting.

Ah, I understand. I guess only time will tell... RSI(2) on the QQQ is 1.88, almost guaranteed that we will have at least a small bounce tomorrow or friday
