i would say tape reading is being able to tell a future move in a stock from trades and quotes. in the case of the spy, qqq etc ,the index or basket it tracks is what you have to watch in order to guess the move not the tape. if you don't agree with me thats fine. thanks for listening.:)

instead of buying all 500 s+p stocks you buy the SPY. it moves with the s+p. tape reading in these type of issues is irrelevant because thay move with the index they are tracked too. tape reading is for individual issues not index or basket stocks.

tape reading does not apply to the index stocks since they simply move with the index itself.

if you stick by the things you posted and rules you create for yourself you should be around for a long time. good luck

only 44 million shares outstanding. things like that can happen in thin stocks like that.

the NY specialist sends the indication over ITS and its up to the individual trading platform to get the info. if there is a charge or not i don't know.

i would say that specialists don't care about your couple thousand share stops. they don't move markets, its the fundmanager/institutional guys that send the 50-100k share orders that move markets. nasdaq mm on the other hand i'm not so sure.

if i remember right, barron's has weekly short interest figures.

so, is this opg only strategy working for everyone? i'm starting with Bright next week and wondering if i should use th opg only strategy.

there should be no pauses during the trading day. i would think 56k is too slow to get live info.
