I think it bothers you that Winston expresses himself in an informed, intelligent manner, and asks questions that you have yet to display the mental capacity to answer (though I suspect you have it, you just don't have an answer, or don't want to engage in real discussion that revolves around...

Winston could probably give a more thorough answer than myself, but I did make some comments in this very thread after the Nanex study was released: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2917845#post2917845 Now, as to why they need to update that fast, good question. Doesn't...

Would this also be applied to market makers?

Incidentally, I'm short and have been so since yesterday. Will continue to be so for 10-15 ES handles. I think we'll see which of us is a loser, or sore, soon enough.

Actually, as Winston has noted, milliseconds are irrelevant as far as the fast game is concerned. But I'm not trying to play it. Are you? I'm not the guy moaning about how money is being stolen out from under my nose. Please swallow your pride, read Winston's reply twice, and consider his...

I've never claimed to be anything. As I recall, you'd added me to some HFT something or other list. I reiterate however that I see no slowdown, no inability to trade, even after news comes out. My trades still execute. If I lose money, it's because the market went up and I was selling.

It's weird, I've never experienced the slowdowns you describe. I'm using thinkorswim on a crappy DSL line. ping -c 5 google.com PING google.com (173.194.35.104) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from lga15s16-in-f104.1e100.net (173.194.35.104): icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=162 ms 64 bytes from...

You sure you're not stock777's cousin?

I have to object to the claim about position management. I'm trading using nitro's NFV numbers, in a smallish account, using SPY options. Due to the pattern day trader rule (did I mention my account size?), I am unable to "manage" my position intraday. I enter on a +24 or greater divergence, and...

You are either misinformed or a troll.

Well, you can prove anything with facts, can't you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4n-UGQcG3Jw

This is confusing to me because I'm not sure how the NBBO rule could be used to front-run, or what its connection with flash orders is. Can you connect the dots for me? "Hustlers of the world, there is one Mark you cannot beat: The Mark Inside." Apropos, I think.

Which exchanges are currently allowing flash orders to be used in the manner you've described? Burroughs also wrote, "Like Spain, I am bound to the past."

I suspect OP is stock777.

nitro, do you see NFV's value update after-hours (particularly if you wanted to trade ES overnight with an eye to NFV), or only when the US equity markets are trading?

They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere...

+$672 minus commissions Sold some SPY calls I had bought last week. Cost basis was $2.89.

Very interesting. I spoke with someone at a broker that recently opened a Malta location, and they claimed exactly the opposite—that this would not affect their ability to service US customers at all. :confused:

The CFTC cannot make rules for entities operating outside the US. They have no jurisdiction to mandate anything for a non-US broker.
