I agree with Big Money's post. It would be difficult for me to justify working so much, and so alone, if I was in my early 20s, instead of enjoying life. And you will have to work your ass off to have a glimpse of making it. I wouldn't pursue it if I was in my early 20s, as life could be...

Well, on my main trading rig I currently run three 24" at 1920x1200. I have another squawk box computer on the side. I just bought three more monitors with the intention of connecting them to another computer and mounting them above my existing three 24", but I am an idiot and didn't realize...

Perhaps I shouldn't have used the term movement, as my analysis did not identify every intraday movement of the market, but merely the cash open, cash close, and the corresponding globex values. So in your example SPX opens 20 points up, falls off and closes the gap, then rallies 20 points back...

I think averaging down can be a very useful tool. In my opinion, a lot of the "don't ever average down" talk comes from traders in the futures market, which can be very unforgiving and in my opinion is a bad market to average down into. Quite a few traders trade by choosing "inflection points"...

I remember doing the work on this for S&P data for 2005 or 2006, can't remember which. Like others said, just download the data and crunch the numbers in excel. I don't remember numbers off the top of my head, but for the year I analyzed, the upward movement came from overnights, and between...

"9:30" and "orderly fashion" in todays market just sounds plain weird. Good job!

Insane open and an insane close. Personal favorite was RE...

They tried to through the platform, but I have some automated stuff that bypasses their checks and balances. I am usually good about it, but obviously today was a little different.. Although the stocks were NOT hard to borrow Pre-open.

Hi, I shorted some financials by accident today. Two stocks, and they were far from obvious "financials" in my opinion... Crossed checked, and checked again, but they escaped my radar today. Small size, barely profitable trades, about 13 executions across 2 stocks, but my broker says SEC is...

What is your market/trading paradigm? Some people view the market as lows and highs, zooming between areas of support and resistance. Some view the market as big players/institutions trying crush the little guy. Some view the market as a hunt for liquidity. Some view it as economic data...

Just curious what some of the other equity traders do when they have a position on and it gets halted. In the past I have avoided news stocks, but may be looking at playing the news-driven stocks each day and will expect to get stuck in halts from time to time. Since I generally trade...

Thought I would revive it since I haven't found an adequate solution. Not looking to roll my own. Thanks.

US equity markets primarily. I am not looking to program this from scratch, but looking for some kind of framework already in existence. Most of the automated platforms I have seen do not seem suitable for handling real time data, managing orders in the market based on this data, for...

Hello. I'm looking for software/system that is capable of enveloping data points and executing orders on an intraday basis. Lots of trading software available, but few things have what I am looking for. Any suggestions/references/solicitations please post here or PM me. Thank you.
