Camtasia... said twice, but it doesn't significantly slowdown your system and it works very well.

Whenever I funded an account with a prop firm, even when they knew who I was and I was referred from a reputable source whom they knew, they always waited for my $5k check to cash before opening me up... on one occasion I got $10k in BP with a $100 max loss to test the platform until my check...

Pretty much every firm I've ever heard of, even those with no deposits or contributions or training fees, will charge data fees... those are passed through directly from the exchanges. If you're not paying data fees, it's because someone is ripping you off elsewhere enough to offset that.

I gotta give these guys credit, nice job... love the defense!

In November 2008, I took 60,000 shares of BAC in front of a fake big bid, the bid was at the pivot and when it got canceled EVERYONE marketed out... my PC froze up and executed me out over a 4 second period, my risk on the trade was 3 cents with the slippage I lost in total 17 cents. I sized...

JAIL FOR DOWNLOADING/SHARING MUSIC?!?!?!

The HFT guys and other participants were allowed to send their orders directly to the exchange, without giving up the precious milliseconds necessary for a broker to do things like "check the margin" or "see if shares can be borrowed." It seems these participants will now be slowed down by...

You can just take money out from the welfare cards like a normal ATM, no? It's not like food stamps... so now people will just take the cash out away from the gun store/medical marijuana facility/bingo hall, and bring it. All a show. The time and money spent grooming Arnie for his speech on...

Hrm... are you sure that this is always the case?

the answers in this thread are just horrible... shamefully so. spy DOES trade in half penny increments... chartman, not correct... if the MKT the subpenny trade occurs on is a normal ecn it's not "insiders" or anything nefarious.

What the hell is wrong with his hair? I've always thought 3-5million, depending on quality of lifestyle and size of family.

No, it would kill competition among the ECNs and we'd all get stuck with paying flat fees to execute which would be higher than the current trading costs of today. The presence of BATS and EDGX have significantly reduced costs for execution (their spreads between the rebate and take-liquidity...

Overrides, execution fees, profit splits

Watch for mark ups on ECN fees. Go to all the exchanges websites every month and check the fees; when fees are raised or lowered, you want to make sure it's accurately updated in your favor. Go through the tag on every fill and make sure it's proper. You can't really know until you open the...

ROUZ, if routed to dark liquidity, will charge how much? I have this route and haven't used it. It sounds like when I send an order to EDGA it's advantageous to use ROUZ to have access to more free liquidity. Explaining this would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks.

Use vWorker.net, the payment is held in escrow until the work is complete and if he doesn't do the correct job according to your text-written specifications then the arbitration panel will not pay him or ask that he completes it. It's a very good/fair/well done system.

I know exactly why I'm buying and selling and have a specific reason. Sometimes I take shots based on feel, and when I do that, I know why as well, and would say "ehh it just feels like it's down too much and slowing and it held .14 three times so it should probably test .25."

I haven't seen this happen, please when it does call Direct Edge and ask about the trades at that time, what type of order your counter party used. They will tell you and it will make it clear for everyone here.

You can earn the spread. You don't have to enter at market and pay slippage. Spreads are not a cost unless you don't know what you're doing.

50:1 on the majors, I think that's a fair cap.
