probably has some truth but if he reduces the cost and cuts his profits in half.. then he has to have twice as many traders.. equipment and office space requirements go up.. more training is required etc.. not worth it.. if i were opening a prop firm i would look to market it as having the...

Magna.. im pretty sure you are right about all ecns accepting odd lots.. some ecns will only execute odd lot orders against another odd lot orders though.. INCA for example.. http://www.hardrightedge.com/work/orderrouting.htm -qwik

just a comment about the new TWS released last night.. whats up with the icons? they used to be so simple, so intuitive.. now they are these huge weird pictures.. it would be nice if IB would consider putting those guys on a diet.. otherwise, looks like another winner.. good job IB...

looks like a declining wedge or a pennant to me.. -qwik

Stockkbroker.. mr T sounds like a real jewel.. i cant believe they let you take 40k shares and walk away.. thats outrageous.. good thing there was no plane crash or anthrax announcement.. so you are from China? did you grow up there or here in the US? i spent a couple months last year...

spec.. thats a great question for Don Bright, his firm specializes in listed.. to my knowlege (limited) you can get a bloomberg terminal that will give you an idea where the specialist intends to open the stock.. or, you could grab a calculator and figure out what the stock price should be...

neo.. the price is not the bid because what if no one will sell so cheap? and the price is not the ask because what if no one is willing to pay so much? and the price is not the last trade because what if those were the only two people who cared to trade at that price? who cares what the...

AAA, could be man.. i unsubscribed last week.. Todd was the only thing that really made it worth the money.. of course i enjoyed the chartmans stuff too, but isnt intraday.. people from mtrader - embarrasing.. and chris from rt would do better writing a column, not doing the intra-day...

dufferdon.. yeah, realitytrader is the real deal.. they usually start by mentioning a stock they are watching for a particular setup, what the entry and stop would be.. then there is an entry called when the setup is triggered followed by a "dont chase!".. and then they suggest places to...

hehe.. please tell me thats not an email timestamp from a stock picking service.. =) joking aside.. and im really not trying to be rude so please dont take it that way.. but commissions and slippage are a HUGE part of being a successful trader.. overlay the QQQ and the NDX and you would...

uptik2000, no, ive never used realtick.. im using Qcharts and Ravenquote.. Don Bright, thanks for the insightful post.. you made the comment that trading can be as simple or as difficult as a person wishes to make it.. i was wondering if you would reach into your years of...

back to AOL/VIA.. i created an indicator based on the 200ma of the divergence.. the idea being that a move over 1.10 or below .90 indicate a temporary divergence and therefore signal a trading opportunity.. here are the results of the last 10 trades if each trade was taken and held until the...

pairs trading seems interesting.. just for fun i took a peek at the VIA/AOL pair suggested by Hitman.. i took 2200 bars of 15minuite data.. using the open price of each bar, i calculated the % difference.. then i created a 20 bar MA of the deviation.. then i calculated the difference...

Grabbit.. of course we all know that it doesnt matter why the market moves, it just matters that it does move.. but to throw in my 2 cents.. i noticed that the rally this morning was being heavily sold/shorted.. ive seen this same type of action in past rallies.. BEAS, JNPR, AMCC and...

my two cents.. IB is upgrading their services.. they previously did not have multi currency accounts, now they do.. they didnt have level II, now they do.. they didnt offer combined stock and futures accounts, soon they will.. considering all of the good things about IB (including the...

i would just like to point out that this thread was started last Thursday evening.. perhaps Don doesnt "work" on weekends.. some of us are diehard junkies but some people prefer to seperate trading and their personal lives.. maybe we should give the man an opportunity to respond next week...

i recently switched to IB from Cyber.. i have no complaints.. in fact, i prefer the IB interface.. im not a futures trader though so i couldnt speak to that aspect.. -qwik
