    What happened at 3:45est???

    Just to show how it goes both ways yesterday, I was short HD going with the prevailing trend when this happened. It was a good payday for me. Then heard the news and figure they would try and cover some and went long near the bottom.

    NO INSTINET in SPY

    What the hell is going on? I thought this might have been a joke at first until I looked. So unlike island, which does not show up but is still there, inca is just not there anymore. AMEX and SEC can go to hell. If anybody is still trading these, please post your experience with getting...

    Where's Island?

    Yea that is true. I get my island quotes as direct book feed integrated into Level2 instead of the island quote from the nasdaq feed. It is a lot faster that way.

    I still have island showing up as island on Level 2, so I don't know.

    Real Tick Scanner/Filter

    I spoke with the people at Sortwizard today. It sounds like it will do everything I am looking for it to do and is fairly customizable for intraday scans. It works with Realtick. I am going to be signing up for it and see how well it works, but according to the phone conversation and other...

    Trader Trainers

    I totally agree with this statement. My first experience with a prop firm was horrible. The "trainer" was suppose to be a trader who came to the firm to help get a new group up and going and then he would concentrate again on trading. Well it turns out he had not traded for awhile and was...

    GE insider trading

    So are you saying that Don Bright was explaining the news hierarchy (which to me implied they had some kind of news service) but the offices really do not have real time news at all? I am not starting anything, just wanted clarification.

    Trader Trainers

    Some think they would be training the competition so why do that when making money seems to be harder and harder for people. Also most do not have an incentive great enough to compensate them for their time and focus taken away from what they are doing. So also do not have the patients to...

    Pro Firms w/ salaries?

    These are not salaries but a draw on future profits -- Momentum Securities, Heartland, First New York ( I think a salary) and some Futures trading firms in Chicago.

    --Scalpers and the ISLD ECN--

    Good post Alan. I am surprised the press like CNBC did not pick up on it because they have been talking about ETFs everyday the last few weeks. This is a big change which might be of interest to its viewers. When the Pattern Daytrading Rule was first coming out I had a couple of friends write...

    Anyone trade with Point Direx today?

    I know this will not add much to your thread, but it sound like PD has horrible customer service not to inform their traders of what is going on. I could they have a move like they supposedly did this weekend without letting any traders know because we all know how smoothly everything runs all...

    anyone trading 15+ stocks at once

    I don't personally trade that way but I have known several traders who traded in the way you described. Many of them could be in 25 or 30 positions. However almost all of them have cut down on the positions they are in to under 10 and usually around 5 or so. When they trade sectors they found...

    Scalpers Using Direct Access Trading?

    I think most talk about it in the context of scalping stocks. Part of it is that for years almost all retail/prop shops promoted scalping so that is what a lot of traders were introduced too. Most promoted no overnights and be in and out of the market It is good for the firm because lots of...

    Holy Cr*p ISLD blocked from providing QQQ ,DIA, and SPY full book quotes

    I had a couple question that I am confused on with this BS. First are they supposedly taking away the entire quote away from the market or just the depth so that you can only see the inside quote? The other thing is that I know several firms, such as the one I am at, have direct connections...

    Scalpers Using Direct Access Trading?

    I don't know what pointdirex office you are at, but the one I know of in my area just lost all of their traders because the software was so unreliable. I am not saying the firm is good or bad but when you lose a whole office due to them being unhappy then a red flag should go up. Pointdirex...

    Real Tick Scanner/Filter

    What I have been told about First Alert is that it is fairly expensive per month, it takes up a lot of memory so unless you have a fast computer it is kind of clunky, and the scans are only done every like 30 seconds. So if you had a scan for large bids and offers, you could possible be getting...

    Real Tick Scanner/Filter

    Your right there does not seem to be much out there right now that I have heard of. FirstAlert seems to have most everything I want, but I have been told it is slow, unreliable, and expensive. Also since I already get realtick for free, so it would kind of suck to have to pay for another...

    Real Tick Scanner/Filter

    Have you used this scanner before or do you just know of it? Any ideas on its reliability of alerts? Has anybody used sortwizard for scans?
