Decent morning and afternoon, but missed the start of that big up move around 12 noon. Dont expect large moves during lunch i guess... probably shouldnt have expectations.

Slow day. Tried to not trade too much in the afternoon given the gayness of fridays.

Were you the one that got filled? How do you know it wasnt a crossing network that trades blocks? I was under the impression all crossing networks print as NASD (D at swift) so unless you saw the trades get filled on ISLD/BTRD/BRUT/MILN, is it possible to know they were regular ecns that filled?

Decent day given the oddities of the day.

Volume Weighted Average Price. Its a guaranteed fill if you place it by a certain time before the next 'print' I believe.

Heres to you NasdaqKiller! My Hero :D ?

I dont trade nasdaq hardly ever so i may be wrong, but doesnt ARCA not follow the uptick rule? If this is true, will the fills not be better on ARCA because traders will be looking to short non-sho stocks on ARCA, and other traders will want the quicker fills on the bid due to said short sellers?

Definate struggle. I was looking forward to sept volume and volitility... wtf.

FutTrd, I am genuinely interested in what exactly you are getting from them that fits your needs. Previously you posted: "I am good at Nas and SP500 futures trading, no good isn't the right word I am well above average, but I have trouble accessing real capital Bright Trading are...

I have to move my apt today and tommorow, so no blotter tommorow. I thought I would come in this morning for an hour and make enough maybe to pay for the truck this morning (370 bucks) but instead my platform has no NYSE or ARCA prints, and I got hammered on some bad decisions... why did i come...

Very slow during the day, but made some near the open and the close. I suppose average.

mnx, I would guess you are personally responsible for 40-60% of swift trade revenue, its just unbeleivable. You truly due exemplify extreme work ethic and incredible love for trading. Your strategies may not/never be true/pure price prediction, but your creativity and drive have really...

Great first 5 minutes, made 85% of my dough, then proceeded to suck, shafting myself on the Fed. There was a lot of potential money on those moves i thought.

Went well early, then kinda hit the wall at 11ish. All in all a decent day for me.

I cant take teh suspense!

Not the volume and trend like yesterday :/

Read any and all of the 6 billion threads exactly like this one on Elite. They should lead you to many sources of information be it books, ideas, important concepts etc. Try the "Career trader" forum, the info on this site between the garbage is endless.

Also, there are so many other factors to consider when trying to decide where to trade. Thats the nice thing about the industry in Canada these days. Your not stuck with 1-2 options, there are plenty. As for other factors, you have to consider Buying power, Leveraged deposit or full prop...

Ah yes back to my comfort zone, proving the haters wrong... Where theres creativity theres oppourtunity... todays trade list no miln executions (stock hidden of course :) )

Thanks madmunny. Eventually as a trader i believe you come to the realization that it is not software and color schemes that make you money, its your brain. Steve Tvardek is going to prove that in the P/L thread in the coming months as well.
