Hey everyone, my team does a shitload of pair trading and we are facing some minor liquidity issues (since we trade a lot of size and very active). So we got together and were thinking about creating a spread-exchange / dark pool for spreads. We all know the hurdles are the bid/asked...

\Mind sharing your findings?

Awesome day... congrats..

modded laser has a smart router.. after they put in the new GETCO - we are using GETCO first, and for whatever else that remains, its being resent to other ECNs. i've seen a 60% drop in my take-away costs.

The only reason I would see paying for a full-service firm, is only if you put on a complicated hedge and need some brain to create it correctly. that's same as paying your cleaning lady instead of cleaning yourself. But for just advice on how to trade e-mini - bullocks. If he was good -...

Bump you're talking about Credit Suisse's thing, right? For some reason - I'm not finding a WHOLE lot of liquidity.

Hi everyone, trying to increase volume/decrease slippage on some pair trading. What are some dark pools with very good liquidity and aggressive remove rates (+ price improvements). Also - anyone know of any good spread b/ds - that will give you real-time pricing on a pair of securities...

Laser has the ability to "mod" it, like any other software with some kind of an opening (think Excel add-ons, firefox addons, etc). The mods are third party and can get you customization that you need. Or you can think of it as Windows with apps that you install (like Excel, Word, etc). Treat...

I second that. Although I dont have any issues with Openbook - but I don't use it that "hardcore" to tell. During ANY volume spike - we are fully online and perfect. What the other poster was referring to was probably a wierd hotkey setup and not enough hotkeys for certain things. That's...

We have some stat-arb guys that made our developers build some custom ODO orders (one dependent on other) and bunch of other tools for trading pairs, through modding laser. PM me - maybe i can put u intouch if that's something that you need.

we are. We are co-loed at their 50 broad office for some bbxes. Roughly < 1.3ms on inet is what we are getting, slightly over 1.5ms on everything else. We wanted to colo- directly at nasdaq but figured wasn't worth the cost for extra portion of milliseconds - altough they gave us that...

that does suck. but unfortunately that's what happenens to most "prop" firms. Unless they have something solid to teach you - they will die. On another note - do not confuse GIP (genesis investment partners) with genesis securities (sponsor on this site, and our trusty broker.. well the...

Alex is a good guy. Knows his stuff. I dont trade with them, just common friends.

Now this is a fantastic post! Respect! You need to come and speak at the office where I trade!

A trader is not a regular job position. The salary/draw is typically meant to get u by, train, lunch and a bed. Otherwise, you won't trade to make money. You are not producing anything while you are trading for the firm, unless you are getting PNL. why should they carry you. Im surprised...

lol T1!!! T1 is 1.4MBits... basically 10x slower than most DSLs and Cables these days. T1s have been used >5 years ago for good connectivity. Stay away from these guys, they either are telling the truth - crappy tech, or have no idea what they are saying, which is even worse.

' They have options - we trade them through Genesis, just not automated.

Great job. Hope you keep it up. Do you only trade NYSE, or other exchanges too sometimes?

HAHAHAHH that's funny (Why a doc tho?)
