I am the same. I am the Remote Trading Manager for Bright. If you look at my profile you'll see that's what it says. I just don't use it as a tag line here because of all the ire it incites. :eek:

Robert, I can't agree with you more. I remember one day where all at once 3 things happened: 1. Greenspan spoke, 2. My electricity burped, 3. My UPS did also (now at the bottom of a landfill). In 5 seconds, I had Bob on the line and said "Market me out of all my positions NOW." A few...

Looks like ISLD is gearing up for the REDI/ARCA merger. Good to see competition thrives in the ECNs. Question is for firms that give rebates on these fees (some don't even pass-thru the fees), will they be giving the increase rebate?

Just be sure it covers the new daytrading margin requirements. that should be in the customer accounts section. It's annoying as hell that I need to be tested on customer account stuff as I'll NEVER have to deal with any! But it is a good portion of the test.

If you have a TV tuner built in, and get a DVD burner, you can burn some choice video of Maria right off your PC.:D Then on those down days, you could play it to get your spirits up. Kinda like that guy on those commercials on CNBC that kept replaying the Dow 10,000 videotape.:cool:

L2 is $50/mo. Bright DOES have direct ECN access on ISLD, ARCA, INCA, and REDI. Don't think it's avail for BRUT or MXT, but can't say for certain.

You don't need to pay for NASDAQ L2 to see ISLD on either listed or OTC stocks.

All ECN's try to match their own book. This is good for them AND you. They look at the market for the best price. If they can find an equal or better price on their own ECN, they'll fill it there because it's cheaper for them AND faster for you. This is true for ARCA, ISLD, REDI. So...

You go girl! Hadn't seen many Worldco pumping posts from you lately and I was wondering what happened. I was also wondering why we didn't see you at the expo get together, care to comment?

A weekend retreat of just advanced stuff (above and beyond the basic class) would be excellent! If you could do one on the East Coast as well, that would be even better! Having traders watch you trade those strategies live would give a great insight to the class.

You know Don Bright and rtharp are going to love watching hitman (if he's coming) and other non-Bright/non-Echo people walk in with their brochures.

Sandwiches bigger than your HEAD!

Actually, small tables and standing may be more conducive to mingling. 6p sounds good. I'll be there by 5:30p and maybe closer to 5:00p.

How about 5:30pm on Sunday. Is that too early? Trying to arrange dinner plans for afterward with some folks.

Basically i need to be able to filter out sotcks taht move more that 4 or 5% in certain amount of days so that i dont trade them using my 3% stop rule, so that i dont keep getting stopped out. I guess its would be in a way trying to filter out stocks that move 4 points or more for lets say 10...

For me, I'd think mainly a bar with decent munchies. It could migrate into dinner for some? Sunday works fine for me.

Gene, You hit the nail on the head there. It's a two-edged sword. Too many traders that go to a pro firm go so they can get that leverage and increase their profits. What they don't realize is that if not used carefully, you can magnify your losses just as easily.

I'd like to add that risk is best controlled when you are diversified in your matched pair trading. For example, rather than having 2000 share positions in one pair, have 500 share positions in 4 pairs (or be even more diversified if you can). That way, if one breaks up, then your losses are...

I read the material, took the quizes in the workbooks, then did the PC-based questions. I never specifically went about "memorizing". When I did the PC portion, the program took care of that by continually throwing questions at me (and descriptive answers when I got them wrong) until I got...
