Some people will say that swift can pay whatever teh local market requires, but this makes me sad. I think 35% sucks. I hope US dollars are worth a lot where you are.

+150 today. Not a great day, got a little wild and lost on some retarted guessing/gambling trades, and managed to lose on basically every trade i made in GLW. EWJ was awesome today and i made about 150 or so there but should have had an easy $500 or 1k. Someone crossed up 22xxx lots...

How do you trade $80 stocks with a 2 cent loss? The amount of shares on the bid/offer of high priced low volume stocks is so bad that I dont understand how you can buy or sell a reasonable amount of shares without incurring the risk of at least a 2 cent loss. I consider myself quite anal on...

I would have to assume this has to do with the size of the loss. I would GUESS the aggregate losses of traders each outage (which is almost daily some times as im sure you know) would be large, however the loss per trader would generally be under a few hundred dollars. If 1 trader lost...

+861 today. Proabably my best trading day ever skill wise and a wee bit of luck hah. Specialist was handing out money on DPH this morning oh my god. traded down 6% around 3.25 in the pre market and he opens it at 3.45 with 1300 lots on the offer (130,000 shares). I couldnt even control...

I guess i was just confused on whether during routing time priority is still given because i wasnt clear on who was doing the routing. Also, i would assume it would not rebate you if someone crossed down and the order was routed to that venue. Hopefully it does not include attain as one of...

Well i know swift trade blows. Traders lose money in our branch almost everyday from outages that are always taken by them never the firm.

+706 today. DPH gave me about 460, make some in GLW, ELN, and went long out of Rita downgrade on ALL just like i missed yesterday and got 46 cents....... on 100 shares. Im such a pussy some times. Oh and for the week, $2984, more than i made all of last month hah.

Can someone explain this to me? I saw the alert but dont understand what a proactive limit order actually does. Bid/offer example would be great. What is the new Proactive Limit Order? The Proactive Limit Order (also referred to as Super Aggressive Cross) is a routable order...

FWIW, I judge peoples blotters based on their posts in other threads and how much continutiy there is between everything they say on the board. Reading Steve's posts in many threads, there is extreme continuity. Everything he has posted leads me to believe what he says. This post will...

+659 today. No real big hammers or big gains, just lots of small profits. GLW had lots of action as did DPH of course. Oppourtunity of the century went by as i was trading ALL when rita was downgrade and was long a few thousand at 50.01 (i think) and it shot up to 51.80+. I know i should...

+877 today. Great trading on DPH as well as some free money near the close. Tried some EWJ as well but our office got a little too group trady and i managed to lose a cent on 10k shares with a few others!

+541 today. Made almost all of it on a DPH short of 1000 from 3.34 to 2.94/2.96. Probably my best trade ever thats for sure. Other than that nothing special.

+201. 140 loss from top in last few mins of trading. Finding im getting to emotional at work lately, becoming a problem.....

If you want to find movement and lots of day traders, find a site online that offers an inplay section to see whats got news. Obviously NWAC was moving last week because of their news, and others everyday have stories that increase volatility and volume.

+170 today. Embarassing result given the amount of money made in our branch. Selling too early lost me probably $500 in easy money, coupled with picking my ass when others were going hard.... sad result..

+436 today. Never thought i would be disappointed with over 400, but i clearly should have had more today. Was catching the opening moves on MU almost pefectly, and made a bit of cash on SCH. Then i managed a $150 hit in SCH, and churned away to finish $20 from my high made around 1030am...

I admit one of my main problems is holding trades to develop more. When you start at swift they 'teach' you to make the spread and do it 28390218 times a day. Knowing that this is exceptionally gay and not transferable to my own money i have tried to do more real trading, but i have a tendancy...

Luckly the college i went to had a computer course that taught me all about 'caps lock'. I value this integral peice of knowledge everyday of my professional and recreational life! :)

+429 today. Nothing special just had some good DPH trades, and MU was handing away cash at the close. I dont know what why MU was doing so much volume but the spec just couldnt keep up with the volume near the close and gave me easy money for once.
