    How to IMPROVE EliteTrader!

    And it's the 4th of July weekend! What Baron's really thinking is if it's worth it to modify a system for a bunch of people like us who have nothing better to do on a glorious 4th of July weekend than post on ET.:eek:

    How to IMPROVE EliteTrader!

    Then I could miss out on some timely information or miss out on posts that other people feel it's not even worth their time to rate. But if I were to be able to do something like that, I'd want any posts that I hadn't viewed in the past and then came up to my rating requirement to be showed...

    How to IMPROVE EliteTrader!

    Unfortunately, it would chase off some good posters also. Quite a few times, I've come across a good post from someone whoe has posted only a handful of times. I'm sure if this person had to put up $$$ in the beginning, he probably wouldn't have posted at all.

    How to IMPROVE EliteTrader!

    Initially, I liked the 1-10 rating idea, but after thinking about it, there's a flaw. I always use the little icon which lets me look at posts that came in since I logged on. And if no one else has looked at the post, then what would I get. Suppose 1 person looked at the post and gave it a 1...

    Seemed very quiet this morning. Did anyone else notice this? Only got 4 fills when on a day like this I'd usually get AT LEAST a dozen. Not complaining as they were all profitable:D

    End of Quarter Strategy - Up Stocks?

    I'm sure there are many ways to play it depending on your style. I was referencing MOC pops and as has been mentioned, the big boys don't mind losing dimes and quarters and I'm happy to pick them up. Anyway, there were a few interesting pops today, but haven't determined a particular pattern...

    End of Quarter Strategy - Up Stocks?

    I've heard of a strategy that involves doing MOC sells on stocks that are up on the quarter, and buy them before the close to get the MOC pop. This involves findinding stocks that are up significantly on the quarter with the idea that funds will look to add them to their portfolio to have...

    Accepting new contracts

    When your automated app has a bug that causes it to send out 1000 orders in a few seconds, then you watch as your P&L plummets as you frantically try to stop the app and then close all the positions hoping slippage is all you'll lose, you can smile thinking "at least I got a good hourly rate on...

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    I was wondering how the opens went today. I've found that they generally aren't worth it when the S&P's are so flat, regardless of the envelope. What have you guys found in relation to this?

    Flashing ecn's

    Could be automated apps basing their b/a on another indicator. For example, someone playing the QQQ's could be arbing and calculating the price they're willing to buy/sell and their system update it with each tick of the nasdaq e-mini. At one moment, it could be a penny (or fraction) inside...
