i think your only other option (to avoid the uptick rule) is INET...

Direct Edge ECN used to be Attain which was bought by Knight earlier this year. mnx

Except at the open when nasdaq is a total POS!!!!! Ever hit a sumo market buy right at 9:30? Sometimes it takes 5-10 seconds for a fill. I've called nasdaq about it, the claim they're working on it. In fact they've been working on it for a long time... still though 2 minutes is BRUTAL...

sometimes when I'm trading illiquid stocks the specialist won't print at all for over 5 minutes.... My limit orders are crossing the NBBO and he won't do anything. If there's shares available he should match them and if there isn't the quotes should update. It seems I'm the only one who has...

interesting. are there any rules for the timely fills on liit orders? what if they are guarenteed to be filled (eg. limit sells @ .01 etc...) thanks! mnx

what about limits? and what if they don't fill you within 2 minutes on market? I think I've waited over 5 minutes b4... mnx

no problems here, at least not any that i have noticed... mnx

i oftentimes scale in or out of trades.... that would triple the trade count pretty easily... mnx

i believe it's proptrading.ca If you have discpline 50:1 is no big deal. Go in big when it's a high probability trade and play small when you are being highly speculative... mnx

scaling in and out works well for me, but if you have to wait an hour for a stock to move a couple cents, you are probably missing good opportunites elsewhere..... (unless you trading LU with a couple hundred thousand...) good luck. you'll figure it out. mnx

hey where's mk at? LU has had huge volume the last 2 days... I made a ton of breakeven trades on LU today, but in the last 10 mins I made 2 1 cent trades for 50k shares a piece... I can see why he likes LU so much. Where else can you trade that many shares at a crack? (other than...

yeah the Ottawa branch is still around. FCCT trades there. Send him a PM... (I hope your don't mind me passing out your handle FCCT...) mnx

it's good to know that the firm i work for isn't the only one with problems... we didn't get trading yesterday until almost 11am, it was the first time in a while that we were totally shutdown... as far as the software, the current version has a bug in it and my computer freezes once a...

just wondering what the concensous is out there on stop orders. do you use them?

let us know what you find out mike... mnx

this might be better placed in the order execution forum... tried using them maybe once, I was told they didn't even work properly in our software... mnx

cool. thanks for the link!!!!! That list is just corporate bonds... IS there access to US T-notes? Action direct didn't carry anything past apr-2006 which is total crap!! Any other opinions on IB or other brokers?? mnx

Hello everyone, Who is the best broker for investing in bonds? I'm looking for someone with a good inventory. I have an account now through Action Direct (through RBC in Canada) and they are quite possibly the worst..... Is IB any good for bonds?? Thanks, mnx

at my firm if I use an arca PNP order it will get rejected if it crosses/locks the market (at least on listed stocks...) mnx
