nope market orders will be filled first Robert

The demo mode is real time data. It will fill a marker order to buy on the ask and a market order to sell on the bid (which isn't always realistic on the NYSE). Limit orders get filled but they have to sit in awhile. SImulator doesn't recognize that you may have placed your order...

IB has very little danger of going bankrupt. Timberhill their clearing firm is one of the top 10 market makers on the floor. They are also SIPC insured Robert Tharp

Don There have been quite a few different discussions on this. When I am trading momentum I will use market orders when I can measure that the momentum will last for greater than 5 minutes. That type of momentum limit orders won't be filled on the NYSE. On NASDAQ you would actually...

Stock777. Professional traders are required to pay more in exchange fee's. There is a yearly membership fee now to the exchange of $350. A seat to be on the floor trading cost over a million. It is estimated that there are only 20,000 (this is probably at the high side) professional...

Greg if you entered that on the opening. Than call your clearing firm. You will have to go through time and sales to find the first few upticks. Persist and persist to get the trade done earlier at a better price. This isn't the norm. I am a NYSE trader. 95% of my trades on it...

There is a demo mode available Robert Tharp

There shouldn't be a debate. A bullet is an almost delta neutral position. That means if the stock goes up or down it makes no difference to the bullets. I don't lose make/money when I have a bullet by the movement. I make money though when a stock gets a lot of selling pressure and...

I'd beg to differ on this part. Not that the above argument is that important but I'd like to express my opinion. If a trader had a magic system and constantly took money, would you be a specialist or market maker on the floor that would constantly gave away your money all day long...

Don please don't post the same thing on 2 different threads. The majority of members will read it. I agree and disagree with you. There is no magic trading system yes. But there are systems that work. The key is to recognize when they don't work. Breakout systems are great during a...

Hey guys lets keep this on subject. Want to talk about Bright than find a Bright thread or start another one. Buttermilk sorry Didn't see your post. Yes ---Echo's management is getting swamped. That's one of the reasons I was made Co-manager for this office so that I can...

I've said it before and will say it again. Notice guys who are arguing about pro firms have never traded with one, but professional traders say they will never trade retail again. They both can be done successfully. Robert Tharp

On using the high's and lows they are easily manipulated with size. I've sold the low numberous times when trying to get out of a freefall and buying the high has had my account # on the times and sales for the high prints. rtharp

position size of your trade? It is rather important. A trader who has experience will not take trades based on a black box. They would have to know the system inside and out before listening to a service. rtharp

Just had to clarify this point as you must not have researched this point very hard, ECHO is so popular because they use all T1's, and yes they DO use point-to-point T1's and redundant. The office I am in, so you know, has 2 redundant Point-to-Point T1's, and an additional internet T1 as a...

OK now I have to reply to you DON BRIGHT I take offense by your post I have stayed away from all of the drama that you started earlier. This board knows me well as I post here quite frequently. In fact look at this thread I started for you...

Eldredge I missed part of your post. I am rereading this thread, reading a few books on tape reading, researching the internet, and have hooked up with another trader at my firm who is great at reading the tape. We are going to write a newsletter about Tape Reading for my father's...
