what about a strategy that has a reward/risk ratio of around 0.3 but it only misses one in 20 times; such as rebate trading or arbitraging... the posible loss is much greater than the expected reward per trade, but you expect to get a bunch of small winners to compensate for any small...

The main difference right now is the commision structure with the ecn rebates, removing liq is quite expensive. Also the inmediate excecution makes things different as you may see huge sizes get picked up in a blink, in such symbols as qqqq, csco, or orcl; is very hard to bluff, and...

Good point. So I´ll go with plan B. Dont get married.

I´ve seen that strategy before. It´s legit, and it´s also quite risky. None of those bids or offers are fake, you intent to get filled on them at the time that you placed them, so you´re not manipulating the stock {bad thing to do... according to the SEC} you´re adding liquidity to the...

I think mark douglas talks about this on one of his books... he separated traders in 3 groups guys who lose their shirt... Their equity line looks like a downhill trail... guys who where on a finantial rollercoaster, going up and down on their equity line, going broke and making...

perhaps you are the only sane person in your zip code??

The SEC sees trading in pennies as a way to boost liquidity. so... if trading in smaller units, boosts liquidity... why the hell did they banish subpenny shavings???

Is the hibrid PACX - NYSE going to work as a single book, or as two separate entities? In terms of excecution and routing? I like the idea of excecuting automatically up to a million shares. Besides, the market will still be available throught the nasdaq´s DOTN platform, and it´s...

in case of divorce do this. Go to the options market, futures, forex, you name it... and blow everything + marging... if she´s gonna make you poor, you can bring her down with you...

Let´s say that most people turn away from ARCA as you suggest. In that case the queue in the arca book will go down dramatically, this in turn will create an incentive to use the ARB as the lines to get filled would be much shorter than those for the DOTN. This would cause the volume of both...

As far as I know ARCA doesnt follow the uptick rule, and they pay a similar rebate than ISB or BRUT... so there should be no reason not to use it. It probably wont have as much volume as NASDAQ but it will still have a lot more volume than DATA or TRAC...

I guess it´s just a matter of defining such words as unreasonable... & rapid price changes...

alzheimer?

The question we should ask ourselves isn't wether or not manipulation happened. But wether or not they can prove it...

Scalping relates more to the time frame in which you expect the market to move before taking a profit or bailing out. Your strategy reffers to how aggressively you pursue those price movements and what your entry exit signals are. I scalp using a very high frecuency strategy, above 700...

Try the ignore button it works wonders!

so, if he places orders that are excecutable at the bid and or ask to fill his orders in a way that's benefitial to his intentions. Is he manipulating the stock, or not? Any lawyers in the house?

ok. Perhaps 4k per month isa bit steep. Start by getting your self into a level where you continually make money, at the end of the month average your total per day income. That's gonna be your max loss in any given day. For instance if you made $500 last month, divided by 20 and you get...

bingo.

You´re right... I forgott.
