    Where/what service can I subscribe to inorder to receive market on close/imbalances?

    Some platforms have the info integrated into it some do not. You can get it off the DJ Newswire but it's easier when you can just have your universe of stocks on a page, boardview, etc. and see the imbalance so you don't have to watch for it. Redi+ for example has this, realtick (I believe)...

    Andover Takeover

    I was curious as to why the announcement (whenever it was...today I guess) was not on the newswires. Someone who trades for Andover....were you guys told after the close or what? I am aware that sungard is a 7 billion dollar company and the acquisition was not a large one but I thought...

    Andover Takeover

    Wow, that has to be great news if you trade with Andover. As others have posted in the review section lately, I have to say I did finally demo the Hammer over the Christmas break and I have to say I came away extremely impressed with their technology. I played around with it without the...

    Trader Nirvana???

    If you like a faster pace and love the outdoors consider Denver. The city has a lot to offer but the reason I moved there orgionally(not currently there) is that the market closes at 2:00 and Keystone has a nite session for snowboarding/skiing so you can snowboard afterwork. If you don't...

    Instinet rumored to be in merger talks with Goldman

    I think Bright Trading should buy them out, then they could self-clear, and get a kick ass trading platform just like _______. :eek:

    Instinet rumored to be in merger talks with Goldman

    For Goldman if they could Instinet under 10 bucks a share it is probably a steal. They already bought First Options and SLK a while back, SLK ofcourse owns redi, which merged with Arca, which has redi+ for its trading platform. Buying instinet would give them two more more ecn's effectively...

    Andover Takeover

    It's an apples and oranges comparison with regard to prop vs retail but, when Instinet bought Protrader in Oct of 01 the first thing they did was start closing down locations. By the last count on their website Protrader was down to just three "true" locations. Denver, Irvine, and Austin...

    I have heard of them but only because CNBC talks about them 4-5 times a year. Usually it is Bob Pisani or one of the market watchers saying something like this: Around midday the volume in XXX started to really pick up, and you can see by the chart the precarious drop, well I called around...

    short, long or both?

    Where and when did he say that? I can't imagine him ever writting those words or saying that. I think that is a miss attributed to him. Cheers.

    Degree Requirements for prop trading firms

    That is misleading. Heartland and First NY are not going hire you or anyone without a college degree, unless you are just "totally connected" i.e. your brother works there are something, I don't know about Shoney and Spectrum. ETG I know usually requires a degree as well if you are going to...

    Adding to a losing position..right or wrong?

    Not really a trader but Bill Miller the guy that I guess is setting a new record by being the only mutual fund manager to ever beat the S&P for 11 or 12 years in a row, averages down MASSIVELY....time and time again. I know this year for instance he was supposedly buying all the nextel his...

    NYSE rule changes

    If he took out the .76 nobody is covering at .77 they are covering probably 1 cent above the next lower bid but either way its not manipulation....it just trading. Do you trade intraday? This is simply how it is done....traders bluff and pile on, etc.....when you see market shorts you...

    NYSE rule changes

    ???????? Huh? You can only use NX in the same stock once every 30 seconds. How is what he descirbed painting the tape? All he is doing is trading. Trust me....that is not painting the tape, it's just good trading technique. :p

    Trends in Market

    Don't know you time frame but the guy who used to sit next to me in Colorado swore by the ADX. He was a swing trader though...don't know if he ever used it intraday, his average hold was 2-5 days. I don't have much experience using it but the definition of it seems to fit what you are...

    QQQ Additions

    No way, the only people that think it is still played that way are maybe the commentators on CNBC. There is no edge if you do that because one it's the qqq's not the spoos, and secondly the qqq's rebalancing are much much easier to figure out than the s&p replacements which are are more...

    Gr8trade + Protrader: Good, Bad, Ugly?

    I heard Protrader is closing or converting three more offices to "remote offices" (meaning they probably won't have onsite brokers and IT help) by year end. Tampa, Dallas, and Chicago. They must be hunkering down for the long winter to come. Anyone reading this from one of those...
