    Getting a fill in a fast market

    On something like csco.. just pay up the 1/8th over market if you NEED an out. Forget arca or soes on something like that.. They will hold your order. and soes won't work. ON less liquid things... say something that only trades 300k shares.. If it's moving fast against you... just put in an...

    New stategies for current market condtionss

    carl. Just execute on island. The island spread on intc will be less than 1/64 normally. As for pyramiding. that is just buying more shares each time you purchase as teh price goes down. But if you are going to buy like this...800, 1300,2000,3000,4500 or so on intc for instance every 3/8 down...

    How do tracking stocks work?

    These stocks often lag. Especially the holders. That's the best way to trade them honestly. Like smh to trade the semis which have been nuked this week.. that way you wouldn't have to bet on which recovers the most. just buy a few k of bdh instead.

    New stategies for current market condtionss

    I think zboy is right on. You can't expect breakouts to always work... Resistance is much more valid now. Look at it instead of as a buying point in anticipation of a breakout but as a short point, with a TIGHT STOP!!! I think that now swinging from support and resistance zones is much more...

    Pros/Cons SuperSOES

    does this mean that all mm's must quote at least 1k shares at all times, cause I would think that you'll see a lot of 100 share quotes. when does this take effect.

    Users of ISLD, a question.

    I use island mainly. It is the cheapest (I do a lot of shares). probably arca second. Arca is like an snet, but i can catch ecn's also. I find that inca lags the true market the most, but you have to choose inca to get filled. Arca is slow to do it. But inca is way too expensive to use all the...

    Trading QQQ ?

    trade them through island, but don't expect great fills. Unfortunately, everyone else probably sees what you do too. I would go with market orders. Normally they are the fastest. BUt i have just learned not to trade qqq. Some specialists are generous. THis one isn't. There are some stocks that...

    Terra Nova Online

    I traded with them for 3 months. Excellent customer service. That was definately their strong point. I heard they clear through instinet now, so they probably have a much better short list than when I traded with them. But I didn't like the rt3 platform. It is very cumbersome. I think cyber has...

    Daytrading on Datek

    use cyber. I think it is the best. Datek practically steals from you, and you shouldn't take them seriously as a broker

    Stocks for Day Trading

    I just scan every hour for those stocks that are showing a high percentage of the average daily volume. If it trades more than 200% by noon or so, you can be guaranteed that it will be volatile. Don't forget that volume is the key to everything. Then look for the largest % movers. That should...

    Questions for Rtharp?

    drawdown is when you loose on either one trade, or a whole loosing streak. Be careful, even the best of us have these. I had one last week. It was my worst week ever. I blew 18.5k. You have to expect that these occur sometimes. Especially as you are starting out. I think that realistically, as...

    great new pattern

    yeah... at that point it had already traded 600k on the day, and I felt it was liquid enough to post here. Please tell me if this is useful for me to post in real time if i seem more of these types of patterns, otherwise I won't post them, cause I really feel like tokyojoe hyping some microcap...

    Questions for Rtharp?

    dont scalp teenies.. that's a way to loose, unless you really know what you're doin.. sometimes I scalp RAD or HM 5-10k at a time for a teenie. But that's cause I can read the specialist. Otherwise, on any otc name, you are gonna get destroyed. If you must scalp something, try and take halves in...
