To address the question how do you ever find out? Ask. odds are if they don't want to tell you than you don't want to use them. The firms that taken huge degrees to make sure they are one of the best will gladly tell you why. Call all the Realtick brokers and ask a technical...

I've done the same thing many times. (try though 6000 shares) as I once was short it rallied and instead of covering I ended up doubling my position ouch. I'll also hit the sell button instead of buy or buy and instead of sell everyonce and awhile. It is one of the...

think of layup as the locals hanging out to dry. Being on the wrong side. As a listener listen for the background noise. This is the biggest thing. If it starts to sound like you are near an airplane engine compared to a person whispering behind a closed door. I'm not...

It depends on how I am trading, -which type of style I am doing and so forth. If I need in a stock now I use market. I am guaranteed a fill in 2 minutes max. Usually the move I want in will last for 10 minutes or more so I don't mind giving up 2 minutes. When I am peeling out of a...

The longer the timeframe the more reliable the pattern/trend, the shorter the timeframe the more it will lead the others. What you choose as your timeframe is up to you rtharp

I traded CHKP and AMAT today on top of my NYSE plays. I noticed I didn't get filled with those annoying odds lots of 10 shares here and a share here. rtharp

Read into the quote " It is a market" a place where buyers and sellers meet. There isn't a leading indicator as all of the vehicles are used for buyers and sellers to meet. rtharp

There was a discussion about VTS and other platforms awhile back. One of the big differences is does the broker use the software's servers or their own. Do they route through the slow ISI broker for ECN routing ? How backed up are their servers? Can they handle all of their...

There has been a discussion started on the Professional Thread with one of the firms about First Alert. I'm just starting to learn the software but thought I'd like to hear other's comments on it. I remember Tony Oz telling me he used to run scans with it. Any others care to share about...

Greg just do market. I sometimes short without bullets and they can take quite awhile on the NYSE without them. Limit is useless if the freefall is happening as the specialist will never fill you. Bullets do make a huge difference here. rtharp

funny how uptiki you try to hint on Realtick -- Echo used to have RealTick but a majority of traders decided they didn't like it as much as the Echotrade for execution speed and costs were much higher (realtick made a minimum of $3.00 per transaction) so it is no longer available...

Gee give a guy a break about response time. I just moved to Phoenix to work in the Arizona office and train with some of the guys here. I am REALLY busy now as moving, learning new strategies that take ALL day long, and other things. On Echotrade the cost for remote traders is $300...

On the 2 different notes here. First has anyone traded this system of random entry? I know quite a few traders who have tested systems of this nature. They have heavily out performed the market. With returns in excess of 80% a year. The only system that this didn't work for was...

Actually random the systems that have been tested with random entry out performed the market heavily. This is due to having cut losers while riding the winners and having a trend develop. It allowed for owning a bigger% of winning trades while owning a smaller % of losing trades. It...

Ok I was asked to add so I will Hopefully this comes out clear as my head isn't from drinking. (last night before I heard to Echo's Arizona office for awhile) if it isn't I'll come back to it in a day or 2 and edit it when my head is clear. First Huby I have a clock from...
