yes that was aggravating to me also until i figured out the cure --- i have two 19" LCD's full of TradeMaven DOM's so it is still a trick trying to figure out which DOM to put the cursor on --- HAHAHAHA!

just leave your cursor over the price levels on the ladder and you will be fine --- no biggie. this was just covered the other day --------- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53954

no ppt -- just buy programs from the good old institutions -- easy to spot and easy to take long trades from.

correct --- the shift in sentiment i have mentioned in other threads will be the point at which the longs will start the rush to the exits, and this has not happened yet. we have not seen real selling yet -- just the selling of one group against the other. the initial signs of a potential...

Stratfor of Austin, TX --- spot on as usual!

the only thing that is not taken into account here is the "liquidity" committed on a daily bases {by hedge funds} as a "hammer" shorting the index futures --- this liquidity is off the table at the end of each day and ready for action the next day. this hammer has been getting bigger over the...

the market is closed today --- all you have is the indexes reaction to the overnight asian/eu markets move {that is nothing that ever holds}. right now the market is like a cat in a tree that is slipping down the bark while frantically clawing away at a very fast pace trying to get a grip ---...

liquidity pumps always eventually run dry -- this one is already showing signs of cavitation. :)

i trade a good amount of contracts on a monthly basis with TradeMaven through Transact for all of my manual trading, and i have found the TradeMaven platform with the Transact feed to be outstanding in reliability. for an additional cost each month over the basic platform fee, TradeMaven has...

actually i am paying much more attention to market profile and Steidlmayer's work for opening range breakout trades each day for trading the s&p mini. i am starting to "get it" for the theory behind MP and i have been spending time over the past several weeks in the IOAMT room in hotcomm...

i always had great reliability with HP's so all my new systems are P4 HT chipped Pavilion's --- good price and exceptional reliability for all the years i have used HP's.

once you get to certain levels of volume then you can get some of the brokers out there to comp your xtrader fee {5000 to 10,000 rt's a month and up}. if you pay for xtrader it is worth every single cent just from the execution speed and quote data reliability.

QUOTE]Quote from super-ego: Sentiment is as bearish as I've ever seen it. Shorts who thought 1180 SPX was a gimme are trapped. Many stocks that have had decent breaks (GE, CSCO) are large enough Index components that if they have even MODEST bounces off their lows they will POWER this stuff...

alaron is ok but i was able to negotiate rates at other FCM's better then what alaron was able to do -- just please do not use jtrader or pats datafeed for your trading, that combination is inferior to other choices.

i fully agree with your recommendation --- for high volume trading this is the best way to go -- also xtrader has an api for automated system trading.

watch on a daily basis how the er2 moves in relation to the movement on a nyse tick chart ---- http://www.ttrader.com/mycharts/display.php?p=35903&u=macroevent&a=MacroEvent&id=1511 :)

yes but the thread originator is currently doing 600 r/t's a month so he qualifies for the better retail rate. also transact has exceptional reliability of the platform/quotes that has been lacking lately at IB --- what is that worth in itself.

the one point were i agree with Mr. Lo is that the hedge funds are in a liquidity pinch --- and that is their weakness. There are many big hedge funds that are holding huge core positions that are underwater currently {like GM shorts}. if these positions are liquidated in a rush to cover new...

high 3's roundtrip retail without any special arrangement (106.R, seat lease, etc} is a good price for the quantity you are currently trading at. You should be able to save well over a dollar roundtrip {from your current level} if you call around and do some negotiating. give Transact a try...

fed does not need to buy --- they don't have to right now. the institutions are very very vested "long" equities right now and they have all the reason in the world to fire off buy program after buy program to hold everything until they have rotated into a more defensive posture. the...
