WHAT is the price now? 100? Cos of the last trade? 105$ cos ask is 105? Or 100 cos bid is 100? Snap shot quotes will show you all three. Level II shows bid/ask. Charts are based on trades. Settlement (closing prices)... I forgot what the exact algorithm is, but I'm pretty sure it's based on...

Try this. Instead of the normal 1000 share order, "accidentally" hit an extra zero, and you will have your order rejected regardless of whether you're trying to get to isld, inca, redi, or nyse. No kidding. This is a retail requirement, and is one of the limitations. I'd call it a...

One more suggestion: Some posters are abusing the Edit feature. They post something then edit long after others already had responded. This is unfair to the respondents - a change of context alters the meaning of their posts. This often will occur during heated debates such as some of the...

It might be a good idea to create a separate section for trading journals. I don't usually read them, since I prefer abstract, theoretical discussions about trading to someone's 'mental masturbation' as Magna put it, but there are obviously things people are learning from these journals...

At its’ meeting on Thursday, November 8, 2001 the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc., Performance Bond Staff met to review price volatility for all commodities and approved the performance bond changes described below. These requirements will become effective at the close of business on...

Neo, Have you considered trading futures? voodoo

Baron, I now only use the main homepage and go to new messages directly from there. The only exception is the Trading forum. Are you planning on displaying more threads on the main page for that forum like I suggested above (possibly removing a few from the inactive forums) or do you like...

Baron, Could you tell me why I keep losing the new messages info, it seems to happen when I spend to much time going through the messages, or when someone posts a link to an outside page and I visit that, then come back after a while. Is there a time limit, or is it because the site uses a...

If IB does indeed use information they obtain by providing brokerage services for the purposes of their own trading, they will probably not tell us any time soon. There isn't really any way to 'check the facts.' I don't think they would be required to report that. Buzzy didn't claim that IB...

Now that I think about it, what I described is what's already on the homepage, with two important differences: 1. The current home page lists five threads, which is almost never enough for the Trading forum - I have to always click on the 'more' link. 2. The current home page lists five...

To all those people who liked the old homepage because they could see all the new or updated threads in one place...that was never true, all you could see was maybe about 20 new threads. If you read this site several times a day, then perhaps that was ok, but if, like I did, you only read it...

Read the Futures section of this website. voodoo

Don't avoid what is clearly one of the best execution platforms just because you are worried about entering the wrong price. If that's a problem, a better solution would be to simply not enter the price manually - click on a price in the level2 window, then adjust it using arrows or hot keys...

Or, if you want to search for gapping stocks, you can click on "help" then "symbol guide" and type "Gap" in as a pattern search. The search will return-among other things-a list of the top 20 gapping stocks for Nasdaq NMS and small cap, Amex and NYSE. The list is dynamic as it will change during...

I don't think Datek actually closes accounts. When I took all my funds out of my Datek account and tried to close it, I got an email stating that they don't close accounts, and that I will continue to have an account with them I can always fund without going through the application process. I...

In two days I received only one PM, which I guess means there isn't much interest in an #elitetrader othernet chatroom. That's just as well - there are plenty of other channels to choose from :) voodoo

The ideal service I would want is a company that, for a fee (let's say $100 a month) would offer access to a web site, where I could enter orders in emergencies only. A lot of online brokers/daytrading firms have trading desks you can call in case you can't get access to your account online, but...

Ok. First, of all, mirc is the most widely used irc program. You can get more information about mirc at this address: www.mirc.com You can also download mirc from the address above, or go to any download sites such as www.download.com (use the search function). IRC stands for Internet...

Why don't you just move to othernet (irc). That's where everybody who's chatting while trading is. Opening another channel window won't be a problem, but few people will want to keep a browser open in addition to mirc. In fact, I'll create #elitetrader on othernet, since there is no channel...
