You've just made a very broad and false charge... By misunderstanding several terms in one sentence. This a good definition... From the a State of New Jersey Commission dealing with energy prices: WHAT IS MARKET MANIPULATION? 2.7 Market manipulation involves transactions or orders to...

Ultimately... The NYSE and NASDAQ have a de facto duopoly... And after some more skirmishing for position... They will very quietly get together... And agree on how to milk the cow to extract maximum $$$. Early Sept 2006... Nasdaq share of listed rises to about 13%... But what's...

Yes... It's kind of counterintuitive... but in today's markets... One ** increases volume and profits ** by fragmenting orders across many price points. It does not matter if you are fragmenting 50,000 shares... Or fragmenting 1,000 shares into 3 orders of 400, 300, and 300 at different...

Talk about clueless. This dood can't make out the difference... Between a private jetting CEO... and a petty, street-level crook. When fraud artists like Ebers... and very soon Lord Black... Are sentenced to 20 years as Bubba's girlfriend... CEOs will think twice about defrauding...

Any war with Iran will be a lot like Desert Storm 1991. (1) Seize the Strait of Hormuz with US Navy. (2) Take out all Iranian assets near Strait. (3) Shipping stops for maybe one month... Then US polices Strait to allow ALL... except Iranian shipping. (4) Take out Iranian power...

Type "NYSE" and "Specialist" and "criminal" into Google... And you get 249,000 hits. Like this one at random: http://legalsoapbox.freeadvice.com/n20424_2_NYSE_trading_specialists_plead_guilty_to_securities_fraud.htm But it's always a big "shock" to the NYSE shills... And, of course...

This is an outright LIE by an NYSE shill. You do not have a shred of honor, sir. Both NYSE and, especially, AMEX Specialists... Have been systematically involved in ILLEGAL market manipulation for decades... While their buddies in NYSE Market Surveilance and the SEC just look the other...

I agree with this. The NYSE is in it's biggest fight for market share ever. The Specialists have become a liability... and they will be hung out to dry faster than anybody thinks. NDAQ is pushing $40... because they are steadily increasing their Listed market share. The NYSE has yet to...

Thanks for your post. There you go, kids ... you get what you pay for... And leading edge technology is very expensive. Connectivity, redundancy, hardware, 100K/year engineers to keep things running smoothly... Upgrading year after year to stay leading edge... A very expensive...

Enterprise data feeds have latency < 1ms But not cheap... probably into 5 figures/month for a full setup... A different universe from low-end feeds. Here is an example: http://about.reuters.com/productinfo/informationmanagement/material/Reuters_DataFeedDirect.pdf If someone knows more...

That's really my main point. Even if it's OK... it is primitive and unstable. But "automating" Poker Clients in this way... Is definitely cause for account confiscation. And it's fairly easy to tell... If a human is clicking or a program... Unless the program is extremely well...

Only pros do ex-dividend plays... And you can assume that pros know exactly what they are doing. Why don't you get 10 years of daily price and dividend data.... On 100 dividend paying large caps... And run a simple historical analysis.

There is a basic problem here. If your computer security is compromised... Then it would be almost impossible to PROVE what REALLY happened.

This one is amusing. Instead of using the API... They circumvent it by controlling TWS with keystrokes and mouse clicks. That is a very primitive approach... And IF it contravenes any IB rules... It would not be hard to detect... And IB might hit you with back charges... and probably...

Hard to believe. And you are clearly a shill for Mr. Bright. We are talking about 100 wee mooks at Boot Camp. We are talking about people with no qualifications other than The Fee. I meet wannabe traders all the time... and 90% of them are confused dreamers beyond hope. I would guess...

To use your phrase... This is just one more "semantic wank" from you... Obviously defining you as a "serial semantic wanker". This kind of nit-picking Anti-Logic... Where a 99% Zero Sum Game... Is somehow different in real life from a 100% Zero Sum Game... Just shows Whistler's inherent...

NYSE Specialists do this all the time.

Any form of market manipulation is ILLEGAL. Even the "intent" to manipulate prices is ILLEGAL. The fact that you "didn't know" something was ILLEGAL... cannot be used as a legal defense.

You might as well be describing my journey. We are not gamblers... But rather calculated risk arbitrageurs. Gamblers always lose... no matter what game they play.

This forum is about trading... NOT investing. Trading stocks with a time frame of hours to days... is a Zero Sum Game. Quantitative risk arbirtage techniques and market neutral hedging strategies... Do not accrue underlying "wealth creation" to any appreciable degree. The specific...
