    offer on brut

    This is a common occurance that I find often throws people. Lets say there is some offer in the world is out there.... say $50.00 and it resides on an ECN with routing features. (Current bids is 49.99) Stocks trades a bunch at 50.00 even a couple of prints at 50.01 and 50.02... how can...

    routing orders

    You must first know the difference between listed stocks and OTC (over-the-counter) Listed stocks traditionally traded on exchange floors - calling the order down. These are stocks with 3 or less symbols. (They can be traded on ECNs or with market makers as well.) OTC stocks have more...

    Your right, it is the Mafia manipulating the after hours market... What was I thinking? How else could a stock have traded right through the best market price? God I feel dumb!! Thanks for being patient with me... :)

    "Intelligent" routing???

    It has been my experience with brokers that many do not have any special "smart" router, even when they claim they do. Some piggyback an ECN smart router like ARCA or INCA. Some are"smart" enough (for the broker) to use the cheapest route. This is why your order was posted to CINN which...

    How many decimal places do ECNs and MM go out?

    It definitely depends on your software... the ECN may take .001 but your broker may not. ISLD allows .001 increments. INCA allows .001 if the security is priced below a certain level I think INET is planning on getting rid of .001 and only allowing pennies.... e.g. YHOO already INET...

    Illegal to buy and sell stock to yourself?

    "Painting the tape" is trading to create a false sense of the volume traded.. indeed illegal. When a trade goes off there is supposed to be a change of beneficial ownership... meaning not trading with yourself. There is about a zero risk of getting caught putting a bid or offer in the...

    Shorting through ECN's ?

    Yes... it is weird... even on listed stocks that have almost zero liquidity showing in the ISLD book, I often find people are watching eager to trade. Granted it is not all the time... but I find it is worth sending part of the order there to see what happens... :)

    Shorting through ECN's ?

    I have astonding good luck shorting listed stocks on ISLD... I know what you are thinking... I would not have thought so either. Even when there is little liquidity showing in the ISLD book, I still post the order and get filled frequently. The uptick on ISLD is .001 so it is very close to...
