Don, do you possibly use a larger envelope on days when the s&p's are opening with a larger than normal movement. For instance, today?

ofer 3, -64 cents, dang.

2 for 4 / net positive 22 cents

Only 1 fill on 11 stocks today. Long KSS at 73, offered 2/3 out at 73.50, it traded .49 quite a bit, then there was 100 on the offer at .50, figured that was me, it traded a few thousand shares there, but no fill. Back down to 73.20, I got out of all at 73.25. Ripped right back to the upside...

Trying to pick apart a methodology that works for someone else just because it's not for you is ridiculous. The bottom line is what counts. I would suggest that P2's success is based on 2 factors. 1-It violates conventional wisdom. (The trend is your friend). 2-He has the courage of...

buh-bye NYSE

4 fills on about a dozen stocks, 3 winners 1 loser +26 +6 +15 -17 for total of plus 40 cents net. Best exit was GM for minus 17 cents as it is now 80 cents above where I covered.

Played a stock with a little too much positive news - lost 65 cents on the day net, 2 winners, 2 losers. Let the bad one get away for about 30 cent more than I should have.

Some vendors allow you to integrate the entire ecn book into your level II display. Don't know if QQL does or not.

Don- what? no laptop in the hospital? Best wishes and thanks again for your contributions here (and to my account). Lowered size alot, and expanded my envelope a hair. Still ended up with 7 fills- 4 long 3 short nice mix. 4 wins 3 losses net positive 43 pennies.

Most online brokers customer agreements state that any losses due to system failure belong t the customer. Yesterday when NYSE was down, you could stll route to island. I had multiple positions, and exited them all on island, and all at the best offer if short, best bid if long. I probably...

Is my last month's profits going down the tubes. I have been increasing size gradually, and then over the last few days, a bit more aggressively. Lost about 2 bucks today. IB's NYSE connection went down again, but I don't think it was a huge factor, as I got filled on 5 shorts and one long...

How late can you change an OO order? Is there any restriction there?

Do you have to pay Pro exchange fees to each quote vendor. I thought if you were paying the fee to the NYSE that it covered multiple vendors.

rolling on floor laughing so hard I peed in my pants

well.......that part really is good. :p

The pattern day trading rule is good. It sends small traders to the futures markets where they can blow up their accounts that much faster, ending the pain. So the rule is good, don't you see?
