Neither is the "stop whiner". This is just a guy who puts in a stop order, gets his stop run by the specialist only to have his stock bounce right back. Then he whines to everyone in the office how the specialist ran his stop.:D

Biggest loss today was on a stock that opened after my 9:38 time. I Violated my own rule and it cost me 21 cents. The first tick was the worst tick. At least, my automated system seems to be working ok. Been ferreting out the bugs which is hard to do when you only get one shot at testing...

No matter who you use, have at least TWO different real-time feeds. This allows you to check on one with the other and you have a backup if your primary goes down. Regarding who is best. To be honest, I've been watching the various feeds for the last 6 or 7 years and it seems that at some...

I use LinkSys brand and have had NO problems whatsoever with it.

HEY! Ya can't have it both ways, that's the specialist's job! Hell, it sounds like the way things are going, you can't even have it one way!

That is so cool! So smart! Now, let us have a few more of the custom options so we can open windows from multiple sites with just one click! ie, we could have a cbs market watch news link, an bigcharts intraday chart link, a yahoo multiday chart link, a link to an options website to check...

This is some info I got. Anyone have any insights into this? You tape readers out there, how do you see this affecting your style of trading?

This is the Cadillac of Ergonomic Chairs: If you've got the $$$, you can find it here: http://www.hermanmiller.com/CDA/product/0,,c201-pss1-p8,00.html It was a required perk in the heyday of the bubble. But when your stock is worth $400/share, what's 3 shares of stock for a chair...

Didn't see it listed, so here's a picture of it:

What 100 stocks are you using? Let us know and we'll stay away from them. :D

No fills today on a .71 envelope! What's it gonna take to get filled!

I got no fills today. I used a .85 envelope and I think that was too wide for this morning. Cash

Well, when the prices for your sell shorts are significantly below the prior day's close, you can be fairly sure that you won't get hit on those and thus eliminate those. Whatever you do, even if you can't do both sides on one stock, do both sides alternating stocks (you'll need to decide...

Back from our Tech Conference and doing OPG's at home. Always more comfortable trading in familiar settings. Anyway: 1 fill and it was a winner. 9 cents. I just closed it myself, didn't even activate my automated system for it. Cash

I'll be there Fri and Sat nights. So if you're taking a head count, add another head!

Just wanted to let those of you who monitor this area of ET know that the sponsor for Resources, Trade-Ideas, will be at Bright's Technology Conference for most of the time. I've spoken with David and Dan and they've got some interesting filters. They'll be showing us what they have LIVE...

Arrggghhhh! Working on my latest automation app and I screwed up. I left the percent envelope at 4% instead of .7% and got filled on NOTHING. I have it at 4% so I WON'T get filled while testing. Frustrating part of getting an automated opening order program tested with live data is that...

I've seen it happen a number of times and every time, it was because of either a "clearly erroneous" trade or trading in a halted stock. Clearly Erroneous meaning WAY outside the market. I had one trader buy a stock for $54 when the market was something like 74 x 75. This was clearly...

17 fills: 10 winners 7 losers 62 cents total Let 2 losers slip about 5 cents more than I should have each.
