ButtonTrader. Neoticker.

Kudos on your list JM. Good luck

pm Riskarb if he's still around. He seems to know quite a bit about options and could probably direct you to some firms. Or Maverick74. He's got his finger in alot of pies. I dont trade options aside from the crude hedge so I cant speak too intelligently on that.

What up Vigorish Pimp? Get them to .004 and the first million. Jack up your leverage to 30-1 And waive your desk fee with size on your part, and its not bad. Fight for every .001

I am pretty sure where you are at dandxg (P-------e) is lower for the retail person. However if you are doing size, anything is negotiable. I dont have a account at either. But in light of disclosure I have talked to both those outfits and there were very close to my (V------y) rate and...

Amex=SCAMex Except for ETF. Even there you must be careful. Open orders "strategy" on Nyse. See the rest of what alanm mentioned.

If I can find some of my old charts and scan em, I'd be glad to show the use of them. I think I still have Genesis/Cot on one of my ancient computers. I will try and post.

And? How does his front running Vcap make you open an account there? And no, I dont have an account there :D Many people on here will jock their pet software, broker, blog or whatever. This is after all, the anonymous internet. I recommend you investigate Vcap or whomever...

Cot used to be weekly. Now I think its biweekly. As far as its utility, if you know how to read it, and apply it to an appropiate time frame, ie weekly at least, it is very prophetic. Please note it does not call the time frame or the magnitude but 80% of the time I would say there is a move...

I think I hear the theme from "Jaws"

The interface you use to execute trades. Some brokers have multiple choices. For example: Ninja Trader, ButtonTrader, ZLT, CQGtrader, XTrader, many, many others. Each has pros/cons. Said brokers allow you to demo these front ends before you ever open an account with them.

No. There are many ways to skin a cat. Look at this chart of Intel. Day range was 56 cents. I dont know about you, but I cannot buy the low print and sell the high. So in order to "scalp" your .20 you must have a move of at least twenty cents and be able to trade 1000 shares right...

Whatever works. Farmers dont dig up their crops every two weeks. Then again, we're all dead in the long run. Have rules to get you in, and out when your position moves against you.

Post cut off. ?. What do the lines you drew over volume mean? Why are they opposite of the channels you drew on the price? Answer: Nothing. Just to point out INCREASING volume. Look at any chart. Very unusual to have volume peaks mid day. Open and close is where the interest is...

Answer: The "tape" I refer to is Time and Sales. Every print, price, time, and volume at those levels. Most brokers/software will allow you to pull it up.

Good one! :cool:

Alan covered it for you IronFist. Regarding wash sales. First rule? Know the rules. http://www.fairmark.com/capgain/wash/ Second rule. If you're going to trade intra day via whatever time frame: 6 ticks, 60 seconds, 60 minutes, you have to be present at the open. This is when the...

Front end preferences? If any?

I forgot about that. Toonces is correct. AVOID pre/post market trades. Look, TS is fine platform for charting. Others are as good. Where TS shines is easylanguage(writing code), radarscreen, strategy/backtesting. And the fact they've been around since Supercharts so there is a ton of 3rd...

CQG and Bloomberg. The rest are just conversation for "accurate" data. I dont see how this is relevant unless you are sub 1 minute charts, ie tick scalper. Then, yes, IB will miss some high/lows. But when your friends Esig feed slows down on Bernake days, it's moot. And IB data is...
