what do u bade your trades on? whats your background? i ask because in the scalping game theres a very low learning curve, but as a swing trader you gota really know your stuff no?

helpful stuff, def sounds like a similar situation... but 100 shares at a time? thats rough. anyway, how are you swing trading? found a firm to fund you or are you doing it all yourself?

what is "real scalping" and why is it dead? how longs it been dead and why? and as far as q, s and c right now, how much potential is there for profits?

i guess Q is one.. what are some other good stocks to scalp right now?

haha. why is everyone so reluctant to discuss?

this is a chance to share all info on brokers and their respective rates as well as various networks and their respective fees/rebates. the idea is to come up with different favorable routes for scalping/high frequency trading. also, please include info on the nature of networks i.e. how good...

so from your experiences, which is the better method? going for the highest rebate and to hell with net profits or posting on NYSE and taking advantage of the better fills to make a net profit? alsoare better on NYSE than anywhere else? why? is that?

yea, the guy who said "one side or the other" is badly misinformed, but lets try to stay on topic. when using NYSE, the scalper can get filled on both sides without being crossed, meaning he can make net profit and $1/1000 rebate, correct? other networks=better rebates but worse fills, meaning...

what exactly is EDGEA and how is it that it can pay you to remove liquidity? doesn't make much sense...

I know rebates are better on ARCA nad NASD, but if im not mistaken its much harder to get filled there than it is on NYSE right? typically you wont get filled untill the price moves against your order on ARCA and NASD from what i understand.

what do you mean trading DOM? got a link that explains?>

looking to scalp highly liquid stocks for the spread. Do i get a rebate for orders routed to the NYSE when i'm "adding liquidity" i.e. buying on the bid and selling on the offer?

I started scalping recently, so far i can say i've been profitable consistently, just not on a very large scale. i have a question though for the rest of you... when you refer to scalping a particular time frame, what exactly do you mean by that? do you mean, for example, that if you're...

oh, also, what about rebates? could the firm in actuality be making it's money on the rebates? rebates and commissions it charges maybe?

NY0B, what was the place? what was the commission cost per 1000?

so fullblotter, a place that charges 25 cent per thousand, asks for no contribution and gives you good payout, say 50%-75%, would be a good place to be at? that kind of fee structure wouldn't eat away at your profits scalping a cheap, not-so-volatile stock?

Joe, there's no capital contrib but I sstill feel like the place may just b set up to have u remain flat and generate fees, thereby wasting you tome and making them money. Elizabeth - not title trading.

i read some threads on here about guys at prop firms who have used a similar straegy to the one i would be using at this place and i got pretty concerned. it seems like, even if they were able to be consistently profitable, most of their profits got swallowed up by fees. to make it worse, it...

This sounds like a pretty outrageous claim... Does anybody seconds this guy or is he off the rocker?

why do you say it's the worst post ever fullblotter? i actually found it pretty helpful
