    NYSE: No extra fee for routing

    Question for anyone ..... it seems that if they route to ARCA we will still pay .25 cents per 1000 and they will give the contra the $2.00 per 1000 rebate. It doesnt make sense that they will lose $1.75 on every DOT to ARCA trade. I have sent 3 emails to Ray at the NYSE and I have not gotten...

    Are the big firms "stealing" ECN rebates?

    Its not 30 mm shares a month....its avg of 30mm shares a day. So if you are with a firm that does 600mm nasdaq shares a day... then you would be entitled to it. Not many prop firms are getting the rebate, unless they have some sort of algorithmic trading system for CSCO INTC MSFT etc...

    Rebate Trading/Certain Prop Firms Reliance on It

    Rebate Trading was great when you had 9 stocks in the NDX under a $1.00 at the end of 01 and early 02. I was a rebate trader making 40-50 k per month. I dont trade for rebates anymore, but when it was good..... it was really good. Its not good anymore, and really hasnt been since the advent...

    Domestic Securities

    http://www.dom-sec.com/ All but done....... ATTN in the ADF was the final blow. NOCI is nothing special and is not doing much volume. Hearing a lot of traders have left and they are trying to focus on institutional business and getting away from prop (although not giving it up...

    Hold Brothers

    Those that have overnights have enough capital in their accounts to do so. It is not a trading strategy that is encouraged by the firm and it is done primarily by traders that are up a lot and/or can afford the risk/reward. Banker

    rumours of prop firms and the SEC

    A prop trader at a firm can post a performance bond, albeit GSCO doesnt require it. If a prop trader puts up 10k, that money is not looked upon as leverage by the SEC. It is there to protect the prop firm against losses that may be incurred. To make this point, if a prop firm asks you...

    rumours of prop firms and the SEC

    You are not thinking about this logically. If you are a prop trader, trading the firms capital.... and are getting a split of the profits..... even as high as 99%, then your theory doenst work. Just cause a trader might get a 30% payout at GSCO, doesnt classify him any differently then a...

    rumours of prop firms and the SEC

    That is ridiculous....... if that was the case then you are saying a GSCO, NITE or SBSH cant trade for their own proprietary account !!! This is just a silly statement. I have heard that unlicensed traders who are not registered with a firm, (those that trade part of an LLC in a prop firm)...

    ArcaEx Eliminates Listed Fees!!

    My guess (for what its worth) is it is still free to add and take NYSE, and .004 to route away. ARCA would have changed the website, they are pretty good about this. Plus INET is still free and Nasdaq is free for dual-listed stocks when they get that up and running. Banker

    nasd sued over COCO

    Why not go back and break the CECO trades too. If CECO didnt go down by the same amount two days ago..... then maybe you can say COCO was erroneous. But the reason those who sold thought it was true was because of CECO. Why wouldnt it happen here too, is what most traders thought. What we...

    If you had ten million dollars...

    Nobody left that would be considered major (Only Steve or Greg would fit that bill). There was a well regarded employee (not the CFO) who I think your speaking about, that dealt with traders and their checks who left in October, but he was replaced by a former employee who had this very...
