    Anadarko flash crash raises questions about market structure rules

    i guess you didn't look at all nanex charts? forget about APC and their trades. they probably busted anyway(but surprisingly -i didn't see anything about it at nasdaqtrader.com in friday logs). it was a domino effect on various securities(and probably options on them). this is FAAAR more...

    Selection process for finding stocks likely to have a direction for the day

    i would add-traded at very narrow range for most of the time on previous day(or last half of that day)and opens away from this base+ what you already mentioned above. i've seen a lot of those bastards hitting my stops lately. particularly in 2013. on top of that-according to my...

    Home prices have really gone up the last few months.

    i'm keeping a file with all homes for sales in my zip code. it's all time high now. same for rent-houses available for rent-also all time high. if things are great and prices moving higher and overall situation is improving-then why everyone is selling? :)

    Amibroker - Is it King of retail trading software??

    here we go. i never used AB, but things like scraping earnings,upgrades\downgrades from certain sources into your database\application. stuff like that. just random example. like i said(referring to IB 's TWS)-you can't have it all. sometimes some of the stuff you have to do it yourself. if one...

    Amibroker - Is it King of retail trading software??

    i would say-the 'king' is whatever works for you and made you the money..i'm still using my own applications,written in VB6, 20 years old language..works for me and i'm sure that all my calculations\values are correct. + i like to have complete flexibility.

    NASDAQ Stocks - Bid-Ask and Slippage experience

    d08 posts on liquidity and spreads are spot on. but if you want to dig down even further-i would suggest you to record live data,store it and analyze it. lot of work,but.. as for fill-that would be totally different story. also depends in liquidity and size. i'm trading 1/4 of my size per stock...
