you have the right idea about expiration, but it's not 1 share, it's 100 shares, and your loss therefore would be 200$. mnx

i add liquidity most of the time and don't trade a lot of shares lately so routing hasn't been a pain to me like it has most people I know... I use Nasdaq RASH DOT and Merryl Lynch most of the time... hopefully we can keep trading costs down, I wonder if an ECN that charged .0005 on both...

hey chief, this has been going on for a long time. (couple months) while the DOTD order type goes to the floor first, Reg NMS forces it to route out to other market centers so you don't lock the market.... cheers! - mnx

my analysis was more fundamental... you might laugh at me but I was using (http://caps.fool.com/Ticker.aspx?ticker=ioc) as a bit of a sentiment indicator. Seems the overwhelming majority of people think the compnay is a total POS... the past 4 days have been quite a strong run up though...

any thoughts on IOC here? I sold some 35$ calls when the stock was under 31$ and got out of them this morning @ 35$. I'm still bearish on the stock, but the way it's moving today is making me have doubts... - mnx

dude if you hate swift (prosperpro) so much why are you still there? not enough cash to put up? not sure where else to go yet? not confidient enough in your trading yet? or you'd rather not trade from home? *puzzled* - mnx

haven't posted in a while... thought I'd stop in. good day today. +$2299 avg day this month is around 1600... - mnx

guys sending 100,000 line items every few minutes over FIX... hmmm these sound like the guys that make the real $$... can you introduce me? -mnx

agreed. I've seen quotes of ppro and another unnamed platform side by side, they were very very similar. There wasn't always a noticeable difference. You're talking about milli-seconds not minutes... ;) -mnx

it's true man... we don't get gray boxes like the a lot of the other branches do.,. I keep in touch pretty closely with Pete3212 and can't believe the # of grayboxes they used to get in Cambridge/Missassauga... I'd be talking to him AH and he'd tell me that he couldn't trade all day cause of...

yeah but if you trade LSE in an IB account you still have to pay the tax... it's not that simple... - mnx

98% of what I read about Prosperpro on this forum is either out of date or exaggerated. Traders seem to remember the worst about swift's software platform. Yes it has had some downtime. (zero so far in 2007 that I can remember). Yes there are grayboxes, (some branches are much worse...

you know what I see here? A ton of name calling and exaggeration. Swift Canada is not dead or even near death IMHO. There are those of us who have been here for years and will probably stick around here for years to come. There are advantages to swift and there are disadvantages. If you...

arca has been messed up most of the morning... at least they're quotes aren't screwing up everything anymore... just tons of late prints. -mnx

you mean Charles Kim? Yeah he's still alive and active in swifttrade. - mnx

what hole did you just crawl out of? it's your first post in a whole year and you bash someone without posting a blotter. go back to your cave. if you dare to come back do so with a blotter. -mnx

Pipeline prints in giant blocks at the mid point. minimum size is 10k/25k/100k depending on the stock. miln and auto like to slice and dice a lot, although very rarely there are larger blocks that print. cheers! - mnx

If AAPL or IBM had 1$ spread, I'd be making a mint sitting on both sides... Seriously, that would be a dream. Nothing that has good volume has a giant spread. It's impossible, otherwise everybody would be shaving each other by a penny until there is no more spread... - mnx

it's @ 32$ now... Looks like a lot of people went for the quick flip... - mnx

Yeah I actually put a bid in on the first day and an hour or so later think link to IBIPO in account management disappeared... I went to the IBIPO webpage after that and it said that the IPO Auction was not open to Canadian residents. I recieved an e-mail later that day saying my bid was...
