lightspeed is great for scalping, sterling isnt but has many routing options, lspeed doesnt have a ton of routing options for off exchange. basically no dark pool access at all. lspeed is similar to anvil and closely resembles sonics old platform which was very quick. also lspeeds time and sales...

great platform very stable but they need to catch up with the times. sterling even has a ton of dark route options available. all the off board trading going on you would figure that lightspeed would offer that to some of their customers ex. sigma x, nite covert etc , i trade alot of less liquid...

i agree with anaconda about scalable edges, pairs is a good example not a huge edge, maybe a statistical edge but definately a scalable one and performance shouldnt be hindered. actually if you are trading pairs and arbing two correlated stocks you are going to want people to pile in on your...

i trade my pairs over a little bit longer hold time anywhere from 3 to 7 days so those htfs dont bother me too much.

the shill thing is funny everyone thinks theres an agenda. someone asked what they offered i told. thats it no hidden agenda. i also traded for assent, hold, echo, and even sonic. plenty of info on all the above companies on this website, sonic went out of business. i didnt see anyone pump...

anyone familiar with the names of the dark routes that sterling offers. they have a ton of routes and somebody was telling me there was a route that went out to a ton of dark pools almost like a dark smart route.

i have been with coastal for 2 years now. i am friends with one of the partners chris we go back way before coastal. that being said this is what they offer, i use lightspeed for my manual trading and sterling for my auto stuff. they are a cbsx b/d which is good if you dont have your 7. i do...

here you go billyjoe this is the variable change you have to account for. nobody can put an exact number on liquidity this is what you never can account for and this is what distorts someone from making 5k one day to 50k the next. there are times i beg for liquidity so i can get out of a big...

corey i couldnt agree with you more on inefficiencies that are available in the equity markets. i trade very very illiquid markets for a living avg about 1k to 2k a day over the past 5 years. but i feel capped because the stocks i am trading have avg volume of less than 50k a day. i dont feel...

agreed this talk will always be around i have heard rumblings as far back as 80s 90s early 2000s will always come up but this was the perfect storm all the stars aligned liberals in control a crisis etc. the good news is that if it wont pass now in this current enviroment the chances go down...

i am gonna sum it up for everyone to understand. defazio bill in the us is dead i will repeat his version has no chance to pass. reason being he doesnt include any exemptions for the professionals. the international version if it passes here in the us and throughout the world would be identical...

in simple terms nothing gonna get passed until after the g20 summit in april 2010, next line yourself up with a firm that is a member of an exchange finra cboe cbsx etc. register and trade professionally. these groups firms will be exempt same as the way traders trade with the stamp tax in uk...

i read your response and had a chuckle with the last sentence you wrote but you are spot on. when you think about it jounalist or reporters i mean you can throw politicians in there as well but what kind of economic value do they return. i just dont see it and i have been saying for years these...

all of them

i agree its a ratings ploy. when we all started to write into them and ask questions they would keep brining this topic up more and more. networks are like crack addicts if we give them the pipe they will smoke it. that being said my money is still on the people who run this country which is...
