i trade with 4 x 24' at 1920x1080 with a Matrox M9140 LP PCIe x16 QuadHead. additionaly i use a different workstation (for email, skype, msn, news) with a 30' at 2560×1600 left of the 2x2 tower. I must say I'm pretty happy with that setup, two 30' above each other gets too high, bad to...

your limit was on market A, top was on market B obviously. no big issue... imagine it was 27.91/93 on various market, say on NYSE its 27.91/93 with an ask size of 1'500... Now someone buys 2000 shares at market price, and his order is (NBBO) correctly sent to NYSE... part of this order...

that market is moving as not seen for months right now... just seconds ago, the low of 1075 was broken... and big stops hit the market. it went straight down to 1071.75...

I stick to short maturity bonds mostly in CHF and EUR, and some in USD... (rolling 6 month SWAPS with a rate of the 6 month LIBOR, a synthetic product offered by my bank) they yield almost nothing at the moment, but i'm fine in "quasi-"cash right now. The yield will rise along possible...

NOK is one of the commodity currencies, so not too bad yes.. i like it too. The Aussie AUD would be another one, though i like NOK more.

here is one day of intervention by swiss Nationalbank. you see how massive it is! euro/chf (trading range the past two months.. 1.51-1.52, here the nationalbank bought the euro almost some crazy 5 ticks up) they repeated this action several times, now the market expects...

they are all fiat... he asked for the best out of all the bad ones... Switzerland has a massive trade surplus and low debt - public and private. add the gold reserves and safety and steadiness of their politics... CHF has long been a safe haven and still is, i reckon it would be much...

_____________________ Quote from libertad: ...................................... The question being..... Which currency is going to be the one that loses the least.... The battle of the fiats...."is on".... _____________________ The Swiss Franc... Lots of Gold to back it...

sell just a part when you would normally take the whole profit, this way you feel much more comfortable, and you should be able to let the rest run with a pretty far trailing stop or stop at entry.

thanks for the reply. I reckon a ratio fof 5:1 (canceled orders : executed orders) is well within limits...

absolutely right. but it's not bad in terms of market regulation, is it?

well i can give you an example. Let's say this stock has around avg volume 5 mio. and is trading at 12.45... with bid/ask size around 2000. i want to buy, so i post 10k ask size at 12.46, MM and market moves quote to 12.44/45. i post another 10k at 12.45... market sells the 12.44, i do it...

in order to get a good price, i often try to push around the MMs a bit, ie. posting big fake volume in order to get them to move the quote a bit, so that i can get in cheaper or out higher. Are there any unwritten (or written) laws, which state you should not do this... ie. will my broker...

i can tell you by experience, it doesn't work... been travelling for like 8 months.. and tried to trade from time to time, it just does NOT work.. you're not as concentrated as you should be, you don't have the feeling for the market, you get distracted.. however next time i travel i...

why not buying some gold... or more interest in mining companies around the world..

basket is at 10$ now... market seems to price in nationalization in the big banks this weekend

the gambler portfolio is now at: BAC 3.22 C 1.97 DRYS 3.52 LVS 2.4 = 11.11$ maybe i will take the gamble at 10$ / basket.

ok, that bet would cost 13k/130k/1.3 mio now. i will write here before entering a trade in case i gamble a bit...

instead of going to vegas and gamble, one may look at this play. BUY: 10k BAC @ 4.10 10k C @ 2.6 10k DRYS @ 3.7 10k LVS @ 3 total: 134'000 $ even if only one of them doesn't fail and comes back the overall portfolio is soon positive... however they are big time correlated...

been kidding around in futures... more like gambling than trading today... last hour was good for scalping though...
