On top of that-search yahoo groups dedicated to excel trading.

for 10001 time-it's all depends on many factors. complexity,time frame,security('s) etc.. how can one suggest something if the question is that lame? hey! i want to backtest some s**t..what's the cheapest option? f** yahoo finance and excel. how about that? :)

I remember year ago or so, when US market drops 5-8% China start whining something about FED policy(are rates going to stay low and will you support stock market? ) yeah..that straight. So-feds making supportive comments after only couple down days didn't really surprise me.

---Wall Street soars after Fed minutes signal support--- http://finance.yahoo.com/news/futures-flat-alcoa-results-fed-113419317.html 3 days down-enough! Fed is calling PPT :D

yes. i know people ,who do just that and then analyze data in excel. as for bias-you have to develop a set of rules to avoid that.

no need to study,cause i still remember how it was with IWM back in a day(cause i've used it often as a hedge)-avg. premarket volume on IWM use to be at 2-4M shares traded before market open. on day with major economic news out at 8:30- up to 10 M been traded before market open. yes, as much as...

my man!:D

That depends on what you trying to trade\backtest and complexity of it. for LIQUID US stocks you don't really need anything. that 'free' bundle should be enough. keep in mind that it's only free,if you generage 30$ in commissions per month.

sure. and i'm certain that you can figure this out on your own,if you would spend 30 seconds by looking into the data on the chart. you would notice then that trade,that cause the spike (300 shares at 216.7) was ABOVE CURRENT ASK( 207.9). so if you want filter those spikes (and there is will...

finally light is up in somebody's head.. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/dark-markets-may-more-harmful-044748628.html trading same exact 2000 or so stocks..why do we need all this? cause volume is 'too heavy'? really? i don't know the details of how NOW trades are counted,but i suspect...

+1 StarDust9182 2 or even one exchange can handle the ALL STOCK volume just fine(only if they choose to do so and willing to invest into infrastructure). what puzzle me once again is that exchanges doesn't really care about volume or IPO. cause there is not much of IPO anymore(not so business...

give me a break..volume is lower and lower every single day. go head and compare today volume on most liquid etf's (QQQ,IWM,SPY,liquid stocks etc) with volume 5-7-10(!) years ago..tell you more-good chunk of today's volume is just phantom,prearranged trades away from market etc..NOT REAL

is he wrong? i think this statement above is spot on. why do we need 60-70 ECN's + basically unregulated dark pools? what kind of infrastructure is that,where SEC themselves admit that they can't track or even properly oversee all this mess.

There is a very active yahoo group called TWSAPI. you might get a better/faster answers over there.

i'm just curious-why now? all of sudden everyone is all over the place about this HFT. media,AG,SEC. why now,after this Lewis guy article? where they have been 5 years ago? where they have been after flash crash? so-why now?

when i see growth\numbers like this- http://news.yahoo.com/steady-not-spectacular-us-jobs-192k-march-152811136--finance.html i think that the markets are rigged on every possible level

Ban subpenny first. This is by far easiest step to stop at least some of this nonsense

so what's up with call? long/short? Thank you!
