    1 long fill. 12cents on 100 shares. HPC. Found out today that our BRUT Passthrough orders are set to cancel at 4:20 after they are put out and our system won't replace orders unless a L2 window is open for that stock. The result, I only had orders out on 8 stocks when the bell rang...

    TAPE READING (chat room cont.)

    Mav could you please quit crusading and telling the whole world that all my bids/offers in the NYOB are fake.... Now I won't be able to fool anyone... I think the NYOB can be useful but can't be trusted.... There are a lot of jokers like me out there... mnx

    I realize friday was probably the 2nd best day this year... I watch ET pretty closely... At this point I'd rather try and learn than paper trade it or not trade it at all... then once my firm puts in the right orders types, I'll be good to go... matt

    I am guessing that the hits I took on TPX and SII have something to do with the fact that they are not part of the S&P 500? Comments please. mnx

    Erroneous Fills

    nothing should be able to be broken the next day.... that's total BS. ARCA/INET usually require the erroneous trade to be reported within 30 or so minutes. But they can take a couple hours to be actually broken (depends if it goes to ruling, appeals etc...) mnx
