The big problem is price time fee consideration, if Island charges a fee, then you will be filled last in line.

will Island be behind in the cue, due to price/time/fee consideration in the supermontage?

Seems to me the ratio of professionals versus amateurs or hedgers is very high lately. No wonder it's very hard to make a profit, who can you squeeze it from?

I still haven't figured out, how I am going to bid or offer. Not being a mm, I'll have to use an ECN. But, if this price/time/fee priority thing comes in, I will be filled AFTER all the mm's are filled, even if I posted my bid/offer at the same price BEFORE the mm's posted their bid/offer...

You want to mention some of these firms by name stevet?

yes Nick, we are craving for some recent info!

cool, thanx!

I am currently running the latest beta version of Esignal 7. Contrary to all the hype (best software ever), I still see the same old crappy charts. Only difference is a grayed out "advanced chart bar" which I can't get to work. I love esignal for their robust datafeed, but the software didn't...

At our firm we regard Ben Lichtenstein (the RTF guy) -besides being informative- as our live entertainer to keep us from sleeping through the dull periods.

Don't know what is going on. I hope it lasts though. I reckon the squawk boxes become less usefull now?

MACD, Low commissions in my case are the exchange/ecn fees + SEC fees. Risk parameters are pretty tight. They are tailor made though, so could be adjusted. I certainly thought about the cost advantage in the CSCO's. Real life shows though, that a LOT of traders are trying to exploit...

Suppose, you are a prop trader with very low commissions. Trading a single or a few (but the same) NASDAQ stocks all the time. I am kind of at a turning point in my development. I thought I found my place for a while scalping the high volume low volatilitly stocks like WCOM/SUNW. Still the 1...

I own a couple of good books published by them. that's all i know

looks like bad ticks

most important beyond the obvious is the ability to use shortkeys effectively imo.

mind you, i only get a small part of that. I don't know what the amount of shares traded has anything to do with it.. Would it be worthy to you? Regards

0.05c is correct. Yes, I have dual keyboards. One on my desk and one under my feet.

"Are you saying you personally trade 750,000 - 2,000,000 shares per day? I've never heard of anyone trading that kind of volume. If so that is impressive!!!" Well thanx. I'd rather have the same profit at eod with less turnover, making higher margins. "What is your average profit per...

Getting out even or with a few pennies loss maximum is de riguer on very liquid and relatively steady stocks like SUNW. With AMAT you will be able to cut your losses to a few cents or less only say, 50 % of the time. If you are really wrong and have the momentum against you it could take...

My trading costs are about .2c for soes and .19 to 1.5c for ecn's. I am looking at large buyers/sellers on the level 2, fading the momentum by taking the other side of momo players and following the futures. S/R's, breakouts, trends all that stuff. I have conversions for ORCL and SUNW at the...
