haha, I tried putting fake orders in a couple of times, but no one went for them... apparently 250,000 shares of LU on an arca cross looks a little fishy... a day of mourning HA! I make a trade on the arca cross maybe twice a month... it's so useless... mnx

http://www.nasdaq.com/about/RuleFilings/Filings2004.stm The last post in the above link is NASD Rule 11890 (their guidelines are on page 5) Anything over 3% from the nasdaq inside should have been busted. However in this case there was no Nasdaq inside?????????? What purpose do MM's...

so they gave you $30 and you're supposed to feel good about that?? That's 3$ above the 52week high. I don't care how illiquid the stock is, that is far more crooked than anything any nyse specialist has ever done. If anyone other than a MM got this fill it wouyld have been busted in a second...

Once the big bad buyer on BLS was gone, it was bound for the floor. Well ok, maybe not the floor but it was good for a decent sized drop. mnx

it's also probably the most expensive way to get data into excel... If I could use e-sginal end of day during the open (it says it's only available from 1:30pm - 6am PST) then it would be a viable option... guess I'll just register my copy of downloaderxl... thanks... mnx

can't do opens until I register DownloaderXL or get e-signal to stream data into Excel... What is the cheapest way to get data into excel automatically?? (looking for the closing prices for the stocks here...) My trading platform has no way of outputting data into excel... thanks mnx

decent day here too. 22 fills. 11 longs 11 shorts. 1000 shares each. on 124 stocks... Shorts on LXK and FCX destroyed me, I lost 1100 between them. But I still managed to finish up $714 net. FCX is getting lifted removed from my list. I don't have to look back through my posts to...

i got filled at 9:30:34... hmmmmm...

to don and others: does anyone ever try openings on nasdaq or amex? or on other exchnages around the world?? today I got filled on BIIB short 100 shares at 47.71... I'm guessing it was a keystroke error by the amex specialist although usually they would have phoned to bust a trade like...

to joema. i got it from the msn money site... if you punch in cnbc.com it will take you there....

not a bad day overall, spent the whole morning just to get even... still got smoked by my peers. mnx

got killed today... finished down about 500 (was down around 1000)... COP decided to tank on me I made a chunck back when it came back up... made 200 on it in the end... PFE lost me $650 COH lost me $200 or so... Looks like I missed the opening print on GPS, FPL, COP and...

Hey all, Since it's a new year why not a new thread.... That other one is getting a bit long... So far so good today, haven't made a trade since 11:50.... Gonna jump back in the water soon. Let's have a great 2006 everyone. mnx [LATER EDIT BY MAGNA:] Here's a link to the old...

got a question. How importing is the beta value in stock selection. I was inputting betas into my spreadsheet today and I notcied some of them were kinda high (3.3) and a few were negative. Should I lose the stocks with negative betas? And remove anything over with a beta over 2.5 or so...

i think it's a great gift idea, and a super cool way to decorate a prop office... mnx

I think I'd actually like to have ownership in the stocks as well.. I dug it up on the sharebuilder website that they charge $30 to mail out a certificate... guess there's no cheap way to do it...

what is the cheapest way to buy 1 share of a company and get their stock certifcate? Almost all direct purchase plans have minimums over $250. Oneshare.com seems like a ripoff Would doing this through IB be viable? I'm also checking out sharebuilder.com. I've e-mailed them and asked...
