Let me try to help out those who are unclear on the concept. Or maybe just too lazy to plug in the numbers. NFLX. $1 move in 5 minutes $1/$235 = 0.00425, or ~ 0.4% C. $0.01 move in 1 hour $0.01/$5 = 0.002, or ~ 0.2% Trading NFLX, you can capture - assuming you do it right -...

Thanks for the explanations. That seems fair. The only caution is members who are not familiar with the rules may feel frustrated not seeing vote results ("don't think they care") and will never rate a thread again. May be a 1-liner explanation that the result will not be seen until there...

I tried to rate some threads. While the forum software seemed to accept my submission on the vote, my vote never showed up on the thread targeted. Who can rate a thread? Only moderators? Or does a vote needs to go through moderator screening? Are there voting class membership and...

I don't believe this would work. The LCD screen will be connected through some kind of ribbon cables. You need to have some gadget which can interpret the DVI video signals and translate them into the scan code or something for the LCD screen. Besides, you need to have a power source to...

Need to refer to the user manual on your card. From the specs: = = = = = ◦Integrated dual-link DVI output with HDCP11 •Max resolution: 2560x1600 ◦Integrated DisplayPort output •Max resolution: 2560x1600 ◦Integrated HDMI 1.3 output with Deep Color, xvYCC wide...

Nice set up for 2 people! I was thinking if that was for 1 person, it may be awkward to roll the chair between the left side and the right side because of the drawers in the middle.

Is this set up for 1 person's use or 2 persons?

LOL! A neat factor. Don't they sell some 6 x 1 monitor stands? :)

(Quote from 76132) RE: Is there a way to rep people on these forums? Not on ET. Their forum software doesn't have a reputation feature. If you hang around long enough, you will have a good sense of who are giving solid comments and who the trolls are. RE: So option market...

Fortunate enough to cough up a million dollar for a seat in NYSE. :) I think it is very unlikely for lone-ranger self-made traders to be market makers. Market makers are typically firms engaging in financial activities. You and I can day trade for ourselves with our $100,000 capital or...

Right. They pay zero commission to buy on bid and sell on ask. The market would never go against them when they hold 100,000 shares of C. I thought we were talking about an average retail, self-made day trader trading his own account but perhaps something else was being discussed. My bad.

Yeah, sorry. I forgot. This board is full of day traders with a $4000 account playing market makers to buy bid and sell ask to capture a 1 cent move all day long. High volume is enough. Volatillity has no meaning. They know exactly where the stock's high would be and where the low...

C has a 7 cent range today. SEVEN cents! Exactly how do you day trade C? Or are you collecting rebate. Please specify your definition of "day trading".

(Quote from 76132) Your questions seemed to be mixed. Equity (stock) market making is different from option market making. And NYSE (specialists) is different from Nasdaq (market makers). RE: -For each security, generally how many exchange specialists are there? On NYSE, only one...

Exactly how do you hook up a DVI cable to a replacement LCD screen?

Because they can?

CSCO for day trading? Are you kidding??? This is not year 2000! It seems grass grows faster than CSCO going up 5 cents. Exactly how do you "day" trade it? Even RIMM has fallen off the radar for many. It used to be good when it went to $300. Then they needed to 3-to-1 split...

Now that with SSD, there is no moving parts... Is it safe to carry around the laptop in the house without putting Windows to sleep/hybernate? Is it safe to slam on my laptop keyboard without risking blue screen?? :)
