my friends were hit again by the system problem when the market having large rapid move. no quote. not order cancel/submission. it's definitely not the fault of my friends. my friends suspect they did it on purpose! :p

Futures traders are very very likely to get wiped out when trading in a unstable and nasty system. If you like an example, I will introduce one to you. :p

Okay, I see your point. But I am going to do what I am doing. Whether I am constructive to you is not important, I think I am just as constructive as everyone else to this world. You call it's whining. I call it truth-telling, criticizing, and warning the disease in this system. Why am I...

May I ask, why do you defend the cancellation/modification fees? And why do you insult me? You are right, the game is as complicated to me as it is to you if not less. :p

What?! Which line you don't understand? Please let me know. Thank you. :p

Thank you.

Look what they have done to the options markets. It's over. Period. :p

I shout to you on your face, stop trading, and find another job. :p

In order not to give ET censorship an excuse (like off-topic) to delete my posts, I just copy here some post from another thread http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=202117#post202117 ---- options exchanges are crazy. what the hell is the reason to charge order...

SEC and NASD should really focus on the f*cking problems like this. crooks like Enron and Worldcom rather than on PDT. If they did something about Enron/Worldcom in 2001 rather than on PDT we would not be in this bullsh*t situation now. :p

my friends told me that the trick of this order cancellation/modification fee is that it's soft, hidden, and nasty. you don't know how high it could run as the day progresses. there is no way to monitor it in real time until you get the final statement. there is no way to trace or check. no way...

options exchanges are crazy. what the hell is the reason to charge order modification/cancellation fee? Some European exchanges start to do this as well. All I can say is that these exchanges are desperated and will be out of business soon. They just take away the basic market principle from the...

Well, that is certainly true. In fact I believe sometimes there are some program agents sitting somewhere to play against me by every means. :p

whenever the market in large rapid moves, the whole system gets slow and frozen. very unreliable. :p

So do I! do not worry. the chance for manipulators especially a huge and good one to fail is really slim. some times manipulators are our only hope. following them or going against them, one way or another. :p

and special interest groups, raised equity allocation today. it's part of series of battles or coordination among several desperate mega finical firms. If BOA collapses, its biggest derivative holdings will storm the industry and wipe out many companies and millions of accounts. Watch out, BOA...

my interpretation on this spotlight thing is that when one of your lucky period in trading is over, what should you think and do? my choice, detach and fade out a while, keep trying, but don't lose big when it is not lucky. :p

I'd like to hear your opinions on software to analyze the performance of done trades using statistics, visualization, and artificial intelligence. Does anyone use tradestation or metastock to analyze their done trades in an automated process? Since many powerful analysis components are ready...

Not only to day traders but all traders and investors. Only one failure of big brokerage house will wipe out customer accounts as high as millions in number and as high as trillions in dollars. SIPC? I wonder how many fires it can put out. It just needs one collapse of a huge firm to bring...

Hi hii a_ooiioo_a, how are you doing? i set timeout for the poll to 0. I am not sure if it lasts forever or a default time frame. But we can always start a new one. Thanks. :p
