well, first, it's my job. but i really enjoy it. it allows me to work from home, see my family, have time to do other things, be my own boss, and make some money. most people who i've talked with think it's great i can work from home. they also have understanding of some of the risks...

really? you're going to jump straight to that conclusion? guy posts about seminars with a couple other people and if they're worth it, tries doing research on those seminars, posts once in politics, posts once in psychology on losing trades...then posts 3 years later on another seminar that...

ok, thanks for letting me know. i'm not switching, so i'll just do what i've been doing (with direct routing). i just remembered at one point, there was an option - i think for BATS - to exclude it for SMART, or maybe put it down on the list, or something similar. thanks.

thanks IB, but i don't have that option? i have: SMART Option Routing Algorithms Default Display (check) (greyed, checked) SMART Multipurpose (SMART) (uncheck) (uncheck) SMART Highest Rebate (SMART Rebate) it has above that information about Destination, but i don't...

i'm on IB, fees are bundled together. sometimes i'll place a hidden order. if i use SMART, a chunk of time it goes to BATS and has a low probability of getting filled. if i direct route to ISLD, it has a better chance of getting filled. so, i'd like to have my initial default routing for...

so if people think ackman's going to get redemptions...and HLF gets squeezed long, JCP gets sold off... how long til his "positive" positions start getting beaten up in the opposite direction?

i posted about this last week; i am not a black box trader, strictly manual/discretionary. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3852424#post3852424 (repost) i tell people i trade, i've gotten the "are you ok?" when the market's down big, etc. it's fine, i know they mean...

i tell people i trade, i've gotten the "are you ok?" when the market's down big, etc. it's fine, i know they mean well, and i tell them that i just need the market to *move* and be right on the direction, sitting market = not good for me. i've got a patter down, where it will be "i trade...

congrats smart money. i do it as my full time job, so i can't directly compare, but when i started breaking through and didn't swing for the fences, a few funny things happened. 1) my bigger and more irresponsible losses were significantly reduced. 2) i had a more steady pnl 3) i would...

it's a reverse split stock. when a RS stock *doesn't* keep falling, a nice short squeeze can happen. i was able to get some shares short, covered down a couple points a couple days later. it's insanely hard to get a locate on it (i thought 1mm shares outstanding?). but yeah, there's...

i liked mastering the trade. however...was at the ny trader's expo a few years back, and went to his seminar. he took the normal questions, and then i asked something about how much overnight risk he took on positions and what was his strategy when a position went against him overnight...

nodoj - was going to send you this as an email, but you can't receive msgs... a while ago, you and i discussed some al brooks stuff. finally saw his videos, wasn't knocked out by them....but really like bob volman's book. it's better written than brooks' book, and the nuggets aren't buried...

lots of stuff from the article: <b><blockquote> on a slow day like this, they may unintentionally find themselves all trying to buy up the same 3,000 shares of a $3 stock.</blockquote></b> and that's why i don't teach my *specific* strategies and pitfalls - even if 90% of people using it...
