Sounds like you are more into the in-and-out scalping dating style there :D Won't get much of a return on any of them, unless you switch to a more long term perspective :)

I was in a similar boat about half a year ago. I found an investor who put up some good money and, if God permits and all goes well, will invest several mil more soon. I didn't have any "real" trades to prove the strategy would work. But I did have a very convincing study that took into...

Good call man! :D

Sh#t, that and the Oracle thing. Things will be very red tomorrow. I can't believe I didn't short ORCL for a hedge. I was staring at it hhovering around 9 before the close and almost clicked the button.... :) ...sigh....

That's very impressive. I'm aiming for somewhere close by the end of this year. They have a university benchpress meet here and I really want that T-shirt :D and a copper statue. Vanity-vanity... Just wanna do it before I get old and can't do it anymore :)

Hehehe, I was just thinking along similar lines :)

In that case, don't make your comments in such a condescending manner. Am I? LOL. You very well might. How informative that designation will be is a different question.

I don't think so. And I still think the topic is crazy if discussed publicly. I'm glad you are having your conversation. Someone MIGHT tell you smth useful. Why? B/c it's PRIVATE. Of course they will not reveal much in a publicly posted message. OK, Mr.Heedful and Attentive, I was not...

don't see how it has anything to do with insecurity, moron. I was just answering an uncalled-for claim by downtick that some puny little joes were presumably talking sh#t to him only b/c they were hiding behind their screens and how they'd be @#$@#$ afraid of him otherwise. What a joke. THAT...

:D Sorry, must have been a bit too subtle for me at the moment. The language thing you know. English is my 4th language after all. Now I see it :D

You are still not getting the point. Even if they have plenty to add, they will not add to the conversation you want to have for reasons I already mentioned. Who said they are not tough in real life, dude? I benched 320 pounds when I was 15 (weighing 186 myself) :D Cheap shot. Some people...

Hehehe, an interesting thought. I guess prior weight-lifting experience might come in handy :D

LOL!!!! HAHAHAHA, Man, I nearly fell off my chair and still am laughing as I type this! :D

Thanks, DATTrader. It certainly would become a higher priority bid in an ECN books as ECNs allow for a finer grid. But once it's rounded in the Naz system, the subpenny increments are ignored, as far as I understand. That's the way they are trying to keep the order flow after all. MMs can...

No thanks, I won't read all your posts :D, my time is more valuable than that. I didn't say you'd get all the answers in that room. I only said you'd build a foundation, a core that has to be strong before you show up and try to chisel out the details by asking others and watching the dynamics...

If they are viewable on the Level II, you'd still see them rounded to pennies though, right? What platform are you (MACD_addy) using? I don't think Tradestation (the one I'm using) allows one to view those books separately. Does it, anyone? Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, it won't. It simply get's rounded. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I am one of those who did sit in an isolated room, first of all. And I believe that EVERYONE should first do that - sit there and read, read, read - study, write simulations, practice, learn, test - and only then go and ask for advice on how to adjust what you have come up with in that room to...

Come on, remember all the bitching when they were decimalizing? They could have added as many decimals as they wanted. How many did they want? AS FEW AS POSSIBLE. Are they gonna have more decimals in Supermontage? NOPE. Same reason. They want everyone to make money? Year right. They want...

Nope, that's the way the pricing grid is set up on Nasdaq. ECNs have a much finer grid. By rounding the ECN quotes NASDAQ can get around price priority contraints, and reduces the ability of the ECNs to advertise good quotes and thus attract/compete away orders. This makes it very important...
