Made another trade on my jpm:wfc spread. 7 tick profit although i got 3 cents slippage on one leg of the spread.

just made a few ticks on jpm:wfc spread on that move down to 108.80 SPY. Funny thing is that both legs of the spread went into profit. I know there are some spread traders out there. I'm pretty sure I will get replies when the markets closes.

Anyone care to share some equity spreads that can be traded intraday. Mainly looking for some volatility spreads that can be scalped for ticks. NYSE, NASDAQ or AMEX is fine. My time frame is intraday. On some days the spreads that I am trading don't move as much, and I would like to...

-16 positive with credits, will update on monday. Have a great weekend everyone.

no trading today. babysitting my newphews plus dow 10,000 is too much for me...didn't want to join the the people getting faked out on the breakout and I didn't want to take the other side of that trade. 0

Why do they always show glorified order boys on the NYSE floor?? If they wanted a real traders reaction let them photograph some locals in the SP500 futures pit at the CME. I'm pretty sure "Local Muscle" is selling a shit ton of contracts every time Dow touches 10,000. Brass balls to the max!

Yesterday final number was -2 today its -5 but should be positive with credits. calling it a day.

tough day for me. was +20 at one point, then -40. Final number is -18 gross but I should be break even with credits. Will update tomorrow. took monday off.

I don't have a subscription.

tough trading today. +2 but its actually +11 with rebates. Trading manager wants me to push it to the limit, and I agree with him. Starting next week im going push it to the limit. Have a great weekend everyone.

Only use limit orders that pay to add liquidity. Lots of canceling and refreshing. Try to collect spread if not then just rack up the rebates. Rinse and repeat. Hedging does eat into your profits but that's the price for being consistent and you buy yourself time if things do turn...

Shorted AA at 14.81 in the morning, was late because of public transit and covered WAY to early. Stupid short trade had me trading in and out of my hedge, which allowed me to position myself long for that 106.80 SPY breakout at 11:15. so in the end it worked out. All trades done at the...

They don't make cards for traders. But if they did I could suggest one. Front of card: "Sorry for your loss" Inside the card: "You should have hedged" Signed Mr.Market

Only 5 hours of sleep last night. Made one stupid trade that actually worked out in my favor, but that's enough to tell me that it was luck and not skill. calling it an early day. +5 more with rebates. Yesterday was -14 net. Tomorrow increasing the share size.

forgot the blotter, full disclosure I am posting good days and bad days.

The spread i'm trading isn't being nice to me. The correlation is out of wack and I had to credit trade my way back close to break even. Unfortunately the riskware is only counting the gross so I'm shut down. Net should be less will find out tomorrow. -21

Got a bad fill on one leg of my spread, then my hedge wasn't working 100%...took some heat for about 2 hours, scalped in and out of my hedge hence the share size difference. should be more with rebates, increasing share size tomorrow. +2

I use egda -> nyse IOC orders. So I only pay .0018 to remove if it doesn't fill on edga for free. If I don't get fill then I will wait till liquidity returns onto EDGA or until I get filled on the bid/offer. If yours is set to route out to ELPs then that is when you will be charged the high...
