Thanks for your reply. I've been looking for information from the exchanges, but I can't even seem to find it there. I think it would be interesting to know for sure. Anyone else have any idea, or guesses? Thanks, - The New Guy

Does anybody either know, or know where I can find data regarding make up of daily trading volume? Specifically, I'm wondering what % of daily volume in stocks is institutional trading vs retail. Thanks, - The New Guy

... And this is how it finished - a wash for me. Hope you all had better success! - The New Guy

I've tried a lot of different laptops and Toshiba and Dell are the best, imho. Dell takes the cake right now, but I've previously owned a Toshiba that was an absolute work horse. In the three years I was using it 8+ hours a day with some very intensive apps I have had extaclty 0 problems with...

This is the only dummy I took today. PGIC would have been great, but I missed it. Hopefully this one will turn out tho! - The New Guy

Here is my watch list so far this morning, in case anyone is interested... I trade on 30 min time frames for dummies. OSUR ELSR PWAV EXPE BVF TRAD PGIC all are long entries, because I believe the market is more likely to rally than decline today. Thanks, - The New Guy

I think he means that if the ask is one, and you send a market bid for 10, you'll only get the one that was offered, where previously the market maker was obligated to fill the rest of your order at that price. Is that correct? - The New Guy

good work. What do you use to scan in the morning? I missed both of those. I passed on NGPS but man, I wish I hadn't! I'm in DECK and THQI right now, and lost a little bit on AVID this morning. Thanks, - The New Guy

http://phoenix.phys.clemson.edu/tutorials/excel/regression.html That may help... to do it in percentage, just calculate the percentage change in the last column and use that rather than the $ change. - The New Guy

I've only ever really used one equity trading program, so take this for what it's worth, but on my screen green ticks are up ticks (meaning the last executed price is higher than the second last executed price), red are down ticks, and then there are other colors for trades - between the...

That's exactly what's happening, but I incorrectly assumed the order dissappeared because I thought it showed all orders at all levels. At any rate, I now know whether it was manual or a program, and also that it's illegal to try to do what I was thinking of anyway... Thanks all! - The...

Yeah, that was brought to my attention after I posted that, thanks! - The New Guy

I've done this recently... I'll see if I can find the sheet for you tonight. - The New Guy

That's some good MACD trading right there! Congrats! - The New Guy

Personally I put almost everything into % before running calculations and then translate that back into point moves for each product. It's always made more sense to me to do it that way to avoid apples/oranges situations... - The New Guy

Very interesting... I had assumed that PSE, CBO, ASE and so on were acting similarly to ARCA, Instinet et al. Now that I think about it, what you're saying makes perfect sense. Now I gotta figure out how this impacts me... Thanks, - The New Guy

Heck, I'm not even sure if I understand what you're asking, but if you're asking what I think you're asking and you have access to bloomberg, type HRA <stock> <stock> (or something like that, not sure of the exact syntax) and then there's a setting for something like "regression type" and put...

Dang yo, I didn't know that. I assumed it was the same as it is for equities... Thanks! - The New Guy

LOL, you know, you joke but when I first started out trading I came pretty damn close to trying that.... Yeah, I remember that episode. I can relate to how he felt, that's for sure. It's an interesting thought excercise to ponder how the market has become the way it is: totally...

I personally think most of the fed rate hike stuff is priced in right now... but I have no idea what the market is going to do tomorrow. - The New Guy
