    it doesn't sum 0. is more like 0.0001... But most people look at 0.0001 and that that's just 0...

    2nd Financial Crisis: "AIG crisis could be the tip of an insurance iceberg"

    true... If this thing blows up (or when it blows up) bailouts are going to move into the trillions... or beyond... a'la germany 1921...

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    A good way to go when you're dealing with large positions is to spread them out across several pools... and then rebalance to give more orders to the ones that are giving you the most fills...

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    It sounds like a software bug to me... I don't think it is possible to tell which flag you're getting in advance (unless you add liq), since you can't see the ELP's, so you never know when you're going to hit them...

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    A big part of my work has to do with verifying fees charged/paid for ECN executions, and upon finding something like an EDGA flag W that charged a fee different than the one clearly stated in their website, I would have to give monies back to affected parties and fix the system bug that...

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    Strange... according to Direct Edge's website, EDGA flags W & N should always charge 0... so you might want to ask your broker about those charges... QUID/QUIK... well... google doesn't say much, other than "did you mean QUICK/QUICK?' and a few sites that give paycheck advancements in...

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    I have not yet figured as for when it would give you zero remove and when it would charge 0.18c -- the liquidity tag it returns is the same. [anyone has an idea????] **************************** What liq flag do you get? **************************** I forgot to mention...

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    Take for example Getco (Wedbush Morgan) they can get you a fill in 1 out of 4 orders in DOW 30 names, but you won't ever find liq in that ECN if you're trading a thin stock.

    Dark Pool / Spead B/Ds ? (for stat arb)

    That depends on what you're trading... some darkbooks are very active on SP500 symbols, some are active only on big names, while others do most of their volume on dry, small symbols...

    What dark books does CrossFinder+ covers?

    You probably won't find the answer to that question since it's information that CSD doesn't disclose (I've asked them a few times...)

    books about market making?

    On the topic of manipulation, go to Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, it has a full chapter on "how to manipulate a stock"... Manipulation is still done in a similar way as back in Livermore's days... just that you go to prison for doing that now a days...

    ECN Rates

    Edga is a good place to remove liquidity (it's cheap and you can have it scan other places if it doesn't have any... with a ROUT or a ROUZ order) it also gives you price improvement every now and then... For adding... well, it depends on the stock. Have a look at the TAS, see what's...

    Ha!!! Next Bull Market for Stocks May Hinge on ‘Net Gen-ers’

    Have you looked at what the government is doing? they're desperately trying to jump start the next bubble... in the next 5 years they'll be looking to start a world war to get the market up to new highs... it worked a couple of times in the last century...

    How exactly do "high frequency" strategies work?

    You don't need to do all trades in one symbol, your system might be doing 1 trade ever 2 seconds on all of Xetra and you got yourself 9000 trades per second... Any strategy that's profitable in low frequencies can be made into a high frequency system... you just need to run it on thousands...
