I mostly fade, but with the moves lately, going with the trend has been profitable.

The hybrid system has various execution options and algorithms available. see http://narrowcast.nyse.com/hm/frame.html Price improvement is clearly stated as one of the benefits of choosing the specialist for execution. What I'm saying is that a possible arb situation could result by...

Every specialist is different just as every trader is different...you learn to stay away from some and trade more with others. However, anyone who thinks the NYSE specialists are working against you should trade with an AMEX stock/specialist for a day--those guys are crazy. A few years ago I...

I was about to post but found that USAtrader has already stated my thoughts rather well. For years I've been making a living for me and my family trading with the NYSE specialists...I don't see them becoming extinct right away (hence the word 'hybrid'), but I'm definitely developing other...

would love to be there; however, Tuesday nights don't work for me...would it be possible to change it to another night that week?

this guy will play all kind of tricks...I got caught yesterday too

I tested JNJ for one day...found him to be very tough to get filled on.

As suggested in the thread "SpecialistMan - by John Bogle", I am starting this thread so we can rate our experience with different stocks/specialists. I'll start with a couple: TXN: bad...holds cancels to see if the market will turn in his favor. PEP: good...often goes out of his way to...

Just started a new thread called "Specialist Ratings" for input on our experience with different stocks/specialists.
