Right. So this would fill ARCA for 100 15.50 ARCA for 100 15.41

I'm not so sure...isn't only top of book protected?

Just another vote that this is an awesome equity trading environment. In the past couple weeks there have been quite a few 500k+ days for the bigger guys in my office and 50-100k days for the younger guys.

Anybody got a link to what Arca-listed stocks are being reviewed/busted?

FSA bans short selling of financial companies; FSA ban on financial co short selling from 2300 GMT Thurs - DJ

This is what I'm confused about, too. I've gotten screwed by broken trades and been saved by broken trades. I have no problem with trades being reviewed. I'm just a floored that a system that is supposed to catch "clearly erroneous" transactions can view today's action as anything but...

CBO printed 100 at 0.01 then 100 at 999.99. Seem like whenever there are trades at a penny or 1k+, it's from the CBO. I've been in quite a few trades that have been broken. This decision is the worst, most inconsistent ruling I have seen from NASDAQ.

All the different ECNs compete with each other for executions. There is so much information about the different kinds of orders, executions, ECNs, etc, it could easily fill a book. (However, if you see a book that claims to explain it, the book is bullshit.) If there are 3 different ECNs...

I checked the T&S. Hard to tell if there was an offer stepping down the whole way (doubtful), but there were some pretty big takes right at the bottom below $47.

A market order in TRA at that time of the day could easily (and did) move the stock 4 points. I agree that these moves can create good short term entries, and I trade them every day. MTL is getting smoked due to comments from Russia.

I fail to see anything interesting. That was a market order. Big deal.

Thanks. I'll check that out. Any other opinions?

With all of the recent talk of the futures markets manipulating the price of XYZ commodity, I'd like to better understand the effect that futures markets, specifically the near month contract has on the cash market. For example - the oil market. Certain pundits say that there is a...

The only thing the simulator is good for is getting used to the software. Fills will be completely unrealistic. When I make a market it is in high priced, illiquid, low volume stocks.

To clarify, I agree that naked shorting is wrong and needs to be addressed. I just meant that as an individual trader nothing that was said today will have an effect on my trading.

As someone who follows the rules, and borrows stock the same day I short it, I fail to see any problems with this.

Sure they can. And you can learn all about LRPs, MOCs, etc if you really wanted. But most of the time when you send an order to the post it is handled without human interference.

The specialist is a computer. Don't worry about it.

Impossible to answer without knowing the order book. Some stocks that do less than a thousand shares/day have 20k on both the bid and the offer with a 5 cent spread all day long. Some stocks that do multiple millions/day might require you to pay 50-60 cents to fill 1000 at the market.

I'm similar to NYOBscalper.... I've got keys for all of these... NSDQ bid/offer ARCA bid/offer BATS bid/offer EDGX bid/offer EDGA bid/offer BOOK bid/offer ISE bid/offer NYS bid/offer Goldman Sigma X bid/offer MEGA ECN bid/offer OnOpen/Onclose Then, for each one of those I...
