These hybrid bots are out of control. Every time I place a limit order, they jump in front of me. Scalping is becoming increasingly difficult in the nyse... They front run my 200 shares!!!:mad:

+550 Terribly disappointed considering my stock went up 10 points and i traded 200 shares in and out like a coward...

And why is that good news? What good happened by that? It only increased the mid-east violence. A lot of us just say things because we are spoiled little cowards hiding under the blanket of freedom that the u.s. provides and fail to realize the torture and misery that the rest of the world...

Hey, don't blame me. That's what I and hundreds of other prop traders were TAUGHT to do. And it worked whether it was "honest dollar" or not. In fact, I don't even know if there is an honest way to make money in the markets. My "front running" short sellers with a lousy 400 share lot for a mere...

Does this mean that all stocks are gonna become SHO? If so, then whatever advantage we had in non-SHO stocks will be gone. For example: Using conversions/bullets to short ahead of a short seller as he steps down.. Day by day, they're milking away our advantages..Or perhaps I should say...

Hi NewGuy Yea, I would go the fully backed route without any deposit IF I have no idea about trading regardless of whether I have money or not. I have said otherwise in the past if you look at my other posts. But after speaking with some elitetrader members, I realized that my thinking...

I feel that I have given you half-ass information. Right now, if you're new, it doesn't make much sense to deposit 5k, because you will lose it all not only to the market but also to the firm in commissions. It took me a while to realize this...However, when you start making a lot of money, you...

Tofenomeno, Hold Brothers is probably the only prop firm left that does what you're looking for and STILL HIRING. They're very professional and lenient if they think that you have a chance to make it. Their rates are a bit high for starters. I'm still dissatisfied with my rates, but I have to...

Echo, Are you scalping? I think these issues really hurt scalpers the most. Perhaps those that don't agree or see what we are experiencing is probably day trading at a higher time frame than scalpers. Because if your intention is to get in based on some chart pattern and just hold WITHOUT...

Echo, You're not paranoid. This is very real. I've watched my dad trade nasdaq stocks since 1999 and it's pretty impossible to NOT notice such atrocities. A stock would be sailing up so smoothly and once I get in (even 200 shares, size doesn't matter), it stops and uses my entry point as the...

Exactly, Fragment your order. Since nyse is now basically a half-ass ecn with thin liquidity on the books, you are way better off spraying your order out at various prices. This is one thing that is working well in Hybrids. Price improvement is history...We are now getting price deterioration.

+240 Didn't trade the entire day except for 30 minutes. So not bad I guess... Damn, I see mama skyrocketing...Looks like we're gonna see some jackpot gains from the mama traders... I love nasdaq:(

Been seraching for 30 minutes..Can't find anything on that:(

Dinoman, I thought financial advisor and planner were the same... Whats the difference besides the cfp? I mean, is Financial planner better salary-wise? Wow, I'm definately dropping financial advisor off the list..Sounds pretty bad... How about Forensic accounting? I was thinking If I can...

Thanks a lot options and ts. Wow, Back office accountant is that stable? Damn, I just turned down an interview offer today for a similar position in the operations section of a major bank...I asked the guy if there will be room for advancement and he said "You can only advance in operations"...
