Great call once again Bolter. I cursed myself for not putting in a buy around the LVA when it bounced the 2nd time . I got distracted with other stuff and I missed it. One of these days here when I get the bugs out of my own system I'll have to only trade the ES so I don't get side-tracked...
The Reg NMS Access Pricing only applies to stocks under $1. Plus..right now it's only INET that's affected. Arca is still keeping it's fee structure the same for now.
Word is that the Nasdaq is just throwing the retroactive thing out there so when enough people complain they can come back and say "due to an overwhelming response by our customers, we've decided not to make the change retroactive". Just think about it...there could be 2 possible outcomes when...
Makes me think of a guy at work. His catch phrase is "dammit... every single time!". Of course this is in reference to his belief that every time he observes something out of the ordinary happening (like someone beating the crap out of Arca on the bid on a timed cycle) and goes to join it, it...
I was having fun today messing with the computers on one NASDAQ stock. Every time I'd throw some size on the offer they would pull off the bid and then as soon as I pulled my offer they jumped back on again.
It's fun when you don't have a position; extremely annoying when they're trading...
*claps for bolter*
I add to the applause of "great thread bolter". Our firm has been using MP for a while now on Equities with moderate success. You've enlightened me to it's usefullness on futures. Thanks a bunch!
2nd time I've taken this test. 1st was in one of my psych classes and it was far longer and more detailed. However, both results were the same.

thanks Ivan..I was going to ask the same question. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw the spike. Santa might be delivering me my X-mas present of 1.20 after all (although I'll certainly settle for anything over 1.18) :D
Ohhh didn't try that *fires off an email to Santa*. I know it's unlikely but one can always hope!
(BTW, I have no positions in FX. I just get paid in USD and live in Canada)
I love the comments they make sometimes....
yesterday when they were covering the Nike plane that was in trouble..
*showing plane coming in for a landing* "well now that the landing gear is fixed this is going to be pretty uneventful now that the gear is fixed but we'll watch anyway"
or...
capped my blotter but forgot to post before I left work. +300 Pretty much made it all in the last hour. Super slow day. Didn't trade Thurs and Fri because I was sick. Still feeling a little under the weather but looking to bust up some records this week :)
I'm going to take a wild stab as to why there aren't that many women trading....
I'm guessing they have a harder time than men getting over the emotional issues that arise from trading.
Just a thought.
