Quad Core question... Actually, the same question applies for dual core. I run a pretty intensive program for my trading. Unfortunately, the program is a single-threaded process, so I can't fully take advantage of a dual processor system (except for unloading the operating system processes...

Do you mind telling us how many U.S. stocks are now on your short list? Thanks, -Eric

Samson, I can't argue about your trading comment, but you obviously don't know much about the skilled play of poker. Saying that poker is about luck is like saying you believe in the Efficient Market Hypothesis (Random Walk) in the stock market. There are many similarities between poker...

Sounds right to me. Genesis charges the NASD fee. I believe the this fee is 0.00003 times the number of shares, with a $0.009 minimum and a $0.18 maximum per order. So on a 1000 share order, this pass through fee would cost three cents.

The importance of commission rates is extremely dependent on the specific needs and trading style of each trader. For many traders, a firm like IB would be a perfect fit. However, for other traders (like me), IB is outrageously priced. IMHO, IB seems to work well for traders that 1)...

I think it's a great idea. But, I know it's been suggested before and not acted upon. Implementation of this suggestion would make ET more useful, as well as possibly reduce some of the occasional nastiness that we see here.

Acrary. For me, no one else even comes close.

CNBC: Oil trading halted until 11 AM EST in observance of 9/11 anniversary.

Is there a problem with the QM trading today? QM trading shuts down between 9:30 AM until 10 AM EST every day. Today, it never came back up at 10 AM. Anyone notice this and/or hear of a reason for it? Thanks.

I just list a single line per account on my Schedule D, entitled "Various" => then I combined the total cost basis for all trades, and combined sales proceeds for all trades in the columns that follow. I've done this for 6+ years and haven't had any problem with this method. -Eric

You should check out Genesis, if you haven't already. They are the best I've seen for Nasdaq trading. -Eric

Not to mention the fact that scissors CAN be sharp. Caution well advised.

A few comments, then you can have the last word. I am sure that a significant amount of work would be required to tabulate, format and double-check for accuracy for a traders trading record daily. I know that I don't do that for my own trading, much less upload it to an internet site and...

Nitro, You are pathetic. I can only hope that your repeated and inflammatory posts on this thread were after a long day of drinking. You are acting like a child. I don't blame Vad in the least for not responding to your questions. You come on this thread and begin insulting him and his...

Hmmm. So, we can assume that you did the same with your existing broker? Do you mind telling us who your existing broker is, and posting the above data that you received back from them? It would be nice for comparison. In fact, I would be interested in hearing the broker name, and...

The sad thing is that my workstation is a dual processor machine, and apparently the hyperthreading is not an option to disable in the bios. I'll have to try to figure out the motherboard manufacturer and dig on their website to figure out how to disable the hyperthreading (if it's even...

Well, I can't comment on most of the items you mention, because I prefer to keep full control of them by doing those tasks in my automated system. The exception is intelligent order routing. Genesis offers intelligent order routing through INET, ARCA and I believe BRUT. I have found INET...

Maybe someone could start a new thread for a continuation of this discussion. It seems that we are getting way away from the from the Genesis API topic of the thread. Thanks, -Eric

Large numbers are precisely necessary for trading consistency DUE TO having a very small profit margin on each trade. If you had an especially large average profit per share, then broad diversification would not be as important. However, I think we can all agree that it is easier to find a...

You might want to verify with your broker to find out if your INET orders are being externally routed. If they ARE, then even if INET does not have a posted matching order to fill your order at the inside, they will route it out to the market participants at the inside price to get you the...
