Is there a tracking stock to play the REIT's that's similar to the Q's for the naz 100? Or do you just play the stocks in a particular REIT index?

Indicators (stos, macd etc.) have been in and out of favor for me. I used them for a while then I didn't use them for a while. Then one of 'em creeped back onto my screen and before I knew it there were several squiggling all over the place. I've recently cleaned house again and I'm liking it...

No, no...don't get me wrong. Keep 'em on a satellite feed...fine by me.:) It was a technology comparison discussion and I stated a factual observation I had made when checking out some of your facilities. Thanks for the well wishes.

The "feed" was my guess. At times it would be a few seconds behind....during spikes....not what I would call the really jammin' fast markets. Personally, I prefer my DSL line.

Would you put 'em on the ol' dos based machine without the squawk box? I've visited some Bright offices and noticed some severe lags in the quotes. I don't know if it was the rediplus or the feed but when I asked one trader how he traded with that he shrugged and pointed at the squawk box.

Yep, some of their ECN fees are pretty high. I use ISLD as much as I can. There's no rebate though but I figure they have to make a profit somewhere and that's okay with me as long as I can get a decent price per share. I've never used rediplus but I've seen it at Bright offices and PD...

hey, i've (unfortunately) traded this way on occassion.

Daily is correct but the share volume for .005 is 75k. So at best, with ISLD, you would be paying .0075 per share. The most, with ISLD, would be .0095 per share. Plus all trades, OTC or Listed now have an 11.99 max per trade if you're doing size. Yep, (if you go through the NYSE) except the...

Cool....gettin' better. I also just downloaded the new version of Platinum.:cool:

Oh man, you're starting to screw with my plan now!:) I was thinking the same thing...if so many think Lundy's wrong, he may very well be right. I'm not buying and holding but I'm looking for a nice bounce beginning Monday or Tuesday.

Good example of good trading, Dave....took your signal, took your stop loss....jumped right back in on your signal again and makin' it pay. Good luck:)

but...but...what about your buddy the Specialist?:)

What??!! How many letters were in that stock's symbol anyway?:)

izzat clear canister looking thing a power-bong?:D

They mentioned this to me too. The lack of ecn route info was my main complaint so I'm assuming this is part of the fix. They also mentioned that a new Platinum upgrade was due soon. The current version works fine for me but one improvement I would like to see is the ability to clear stuck...

I agree. They need to fix their bookkeeping method. edit: Yes, this is correct.

Are you aware that you can go to their site and view your acct. via Direxnet? It shows the commissions and the SEC fees. It's under the 'confirms' tab. It doesn't show the route used for each trade though so it's difficult to truly confirm the proper charges exactly. As long as it's within a few...

This thread/link discusses a lot about FV http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3334 This link is a good one for FV and Program trading and includes daily numbers for when programs might kick in. http://www.programtrading.com/

I'm able to view my account info the following day, which is fine by me, but I don't like the lack of detail in the trades data...specifically the route used. Yeah, that's no good. Platinum AH works but they close @ 5:30 EST. No good again. It seems several people were out of the office...

Looks like typical, uncreative huckster jive to me. I'll give him one credit point though...he tacks the word "MetaStock" onto the end of his ebay headline. That's how I stumbled across him....doing an ebay search on MetaStock.
