    Guys, put in your nickel limit orders before monday GTC 60

    But we already know the rules. If you settle for a 39% discount to current price you'll be ok.

    Detecting institutional buying/selling

    Are you suggesting that it would be nice for the broker to provide this? If so, I agree, but I doubt that it will happen. If I am remembering correctly, I used to see broker number on IB's Lvl 2 and t&s but they no longer provide it. I would not be at all surprised if TSX stops providing...

    Detecting institutional buying/selling

    Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I mistitled this thread. Because the broker id is listed on my t&s (on the TSX) it is clear who is buying and selling. On Friday, between 3pm and 4pm, one buyer bought 45,600 shares of POT for example (mostly in 100 share lots), but the chart gives you no clue that...

    CF & TNH vs the others

    NoDoji your timing is impeccable, as ever. (I was an earlier mouse). According to the May 7th edition of the Weekly Fertilizer review, the price in Illinois last week increased to $495 and farmers have been advised to get in there and buy up what they can as distributors (burned by high priced...

    Detecting institutional buying/selling

    I've heard it postulated that whales leave tracks when they want to be detected and slip around silently when they don't. I watched some sell offs in POT in March/April where the chart reflected the moves of the institutional sellers. T&S was filled with selling by two institutional sellers in...

    Crash soon?

    "Cautiously optimistic" is one of those phrases that makes my shoulders go up involuntarily when I hear it, as though to protect my ears. I have been hearing "Guardedly optimistic" which is less grating but too close. How about gingerly encouraged? Judiciously cheerful? Prudently positive...

    Do you watch broker number on t&s?

    Looking at POT trading in the US, I see some buyer/seller info as well, though the screen is a little different and I don't understand all that is going on. But at 18:56 yesterday for instance there was a large volume trade (1401) that says UBSS for buyer/seller. At 17:45 there was one for for...

    Do you watch broker number on t&s?

    Perhaps it's just a TSX thing. I have been watching POT on and off for instance. Yesterday I saw nothing unusual, but the day before I watched Citi (123) buy aggressively all morning and then another buyer (Morgan Stanley maybe) buy in the afternoon. All the selling in this stock was launched...

    Do you watch broker number on t&s?

    I recently discovered that I can see the broker number on the last transaction in real time and on time and sales (not real time, must hit refresh). I've come to expect fake outs and game play but so far this information seems valuable. I see the normal participants trading away, keeping the...

    Help measuring "trendiness"

    Trend days certainly seem to be more rare than range days but I was hoping to try to quantify this. 1 in 8? 1 in 12? Thinking of giving up my beloved but risky rtm ways and convert to trend following.

    Help measuring "trendiness"

    I want to look at different stocks/markets to see how frequently tradeable intraday trends were present, and what market conditions were like at the time (bull/bear/sideways and volatility). I have taken a stab at an approach but I often sit starry eyed looking at the quality minds posting here...

    Do guests ever pay to get on business news pgms?

    Anyone know if unadvertised advertising occurs on any of the business news programs? I have seen a few interviews where the host seemed to act out of character, fawning over the guest and making me suspicious. A manufacturing company I worked for at one time had a couple success stories...

    Do these pants make my tail look fat?

    Ok, lesson learned. No mixing business and pleasure. But now that we're here, would you like to know how much I can bench press or what my favorite song is?
