What software do you use for your tick data? Also, could you give me an example of this situation so I can see what it looks like in my software... symbol, date, time? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cash

Are there any stats on how many times a day an NYSE specialist does hybrid overrides? This is where he can take the stock off of automated execution to deal with unusual situations.

I know they have the "Industry Reception" this evening 6:30pm - 7:30pm. That might be a good time/place to meet. If anyone is interested in geting together, call me at 919-439-4259 Cash

Any Elite Traders Getting Together at the Vegas Expo this weekend? I miss the good 'ole days of Elite Trader sponsored cocktail hours. Hell, I'd even pay for my own drinks just for the comraderie! Cash

I'm looking for 3 particular pieces of info relating to NYSE trading: 1. Looking at all volume on the NYSE, what percentage is handled manually by the specialist? 2. Looking at all volume on the NYSE, what percentage is done by algorithmic trading programs? 3. What is the average...

I'm looking for a source for historical news. I've checked briefing, marketwatch, yahoo, msn, google, and reuters and the most they go back is 2-3 years. I'm looking for something that goes back 5 to 10 years. I just want to plug in a symbol and it returns headlines with the date and time...

Well, if you're talking about doing automated trading with Excel, then what you describe is no problem. However, when you say "your software", I'm not sure if you're clear that the Redi API is accessed from excel and has no front-end window of it's own. So, it all comes down to how you set up...

Hi Big Game, I can answer this one for you if I understand the question. You have an Excel application and you want to use the Redi API to send orders. Yes, you can do that. Of course, you would need to modify the order handling part of your code, but not the signal portion. Every...

Our stops reside on our clearing firm's servers (GS) for NASDAQ, with the NYSE specialist for NYSE stocks, and with the AMEX specialist for AMEX stocks. Cash

Hmmm, well, their pricing structure definitely puts their money where their mouth is.

Sounds like a portable virtual PC. This may be good if you use a lot of cybercafe's. Sounds like Just have a big USB thumb drive to plug in and you don't need to worry about software on the cybercafe's PC impacting or snooping on you.

Seeing as how you are automated, you may want to check into volatility based stops. This lets you adjust for changing market conditions and from the studies I've read, helps to keep you in profitable positions longer. While it may have more loss on some trades, the ability to stay in other...

Yeah, I know, but I figure if I can't get the govt to stop spending at least I can exercise my 1st amendment rights! :D

Definitely frustrated as I started a thread on this subject about a week ago when we last got heavy spamming and no substantive comments of action have occurred since that time. Good traders are busy and they don't have time for crap. If we want them to be part of our community, we have to...

Can anyone recommend a trading forum that uses probationary periods to limit spam? This is getting ridiculous!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

All my comments on this thread due nothing but reflect the ludacris nature of the lawsuit. I don't know which suit is more ridiculous... this one or the McDonald's suit by fat people who can't skip a meal. Speaking of, maybe drive-thru restaurants should be co-defendents on this global warming...

I believe this lawsuit in itself will cause increased global warming. Think about all the lawyers and new people heading back and forth to the courthouse and the newstrucks sitting outside for days on end, engines idling, waiting for reports. Maybe the state of California should sue the...

You need to Go for the deep pocket's: Bush's Baked Beans

I'm in North Carolina where hurricanes have cost millions in damage and the weather guys say the ferocity and increased frequency of the hurricanes is a result of global warming, so I think we'd like to get in on a bit of that action. And while we're at it, I think we should have California...

Ben Warwick does a lot of that stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Event-Trading-Profiting-Short-Term-Inefficiencies/dp/0786307722/sr=8-1/qid=1158690582/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-6901482-5060867?ie=UTF8&s=books I've also read of studies on probabilities based on earnings for specific stocks, and I've seen...
