I expected to see all these "games", but so far I just see nyse posting real bids and offers. Sure they get new orders that print aside from those prices, but usually what you see is real and reliable (in<5m vol/day stocks).
Depends what you trade. I've had open book from IB for about a week now, and couldn't imagine trading without it. Most of the stocks I trade are <5m vol/day. Anything over that will be useless imo.
I'm pretty sure this is not possible, but I want to be able to click a cell in excel with a symbol in it, and have that action load the symbol into the montage.
Thoughts?
We were long because of the block, before the news broke. In any other situation the trade would have been worth at least a dollar. In fact I was up .5 before the free fall.
Thanks for the honorary mention P2.
In the last few minutes before the halt I was telling P2 that I couldn't believe it wasn't halted yet. When I saw NYSE freeze at 33 I bailed on my last 400 shares to an ISLD bid at 32. Saved $1600 there.
Well the company is denying that the raid ever happened. Why would they lie about that? Monday will be interesting...I'm long a very small position for fun.
So they had a couple rogue doctors...big deal.
It cost me my gains from yesterday, about $2500. Ended the day -$1800 :(
I know a couple others that lost considerably more. Not a fun day. I'm going to charge any kids that come to my door a dollar per candy.
Ditto...all my friends think I have the coolest job. They just don't understand that it's one of the only jobs in the world where you can start work at 6:30 and be down -$1500 by 6:40.
But really...my first investment was Ascend Communications, because my roomates dad worked there. I made...
I am assuming you have little to no trading experience.
You have about a 5% chance of making $5k in your 4th and 5th month. Therefore you should expect to be fired. If you look at this as a free learning experience and you can support yourself with saved up funds, then go for it. Think of...
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line...
I don't trade naz stocks anymore...but for the past couple months I have felt that the best trading opportunities are near the end of the day. I make about 50% of my profits in the last hour alone. Since temporarily giving up on OPG's I don't even wake up until 7am pst.
