    MB Trading

    You can see my opinions about them in the rating sections of brokers and software. Been some problems with lagging quotes and downtime in the last couple weeks, but they are fixing them and working with me as a customer very well through the periods, which is what I like most..it's not a "oh...

    MB Trading PL

    Not sure exactly what the problem is, but maybe this helps. MB calculates p/l on mark to market. This is passed down from the clearing firm and as far as I know many other firms do the same thing. They have a note field in the position minder which allows me to type in the cost basis so I...

    MB Trading

    yeah can't say enough good things about them as I've used them for several years now. With the new low commissions they are definitely staying with industry trends and technology. Now if they would just get into Forex : ) They have a demo of their platform for you to try.

    tape reading question FINL

    One more point to consider. MMs are taking orders from clients and has an order to fill for 1 or more. He feels that he can fill this order at a specific level where other competition is not present. If he lifts his offer into a level where competition from other MMs are, he might not get the...

    Low Volume Breakout/down

    Depends on what phase the move is in. During an accumulation period where the public isn't on the stock (no reason to attract public attention), then a stable/low volume break is just a way for firms to keep the stock moving higher without creating the euphoric public phase. Eventually the...

    Level II usefulness

    I have to agree with roberk here. MMs are really trying to trade against other MMs, not necessarily worrying about 1K orders. You take away their (or our) ability to mask intentions, they are not fulfilling their client's needs as easily, which is a big part of their commission structure. I...

    Level II usefulness

    Level 2 usefulness has dwindled with the advent of SuperSOES and Decimalization a couple years ago. For me, it's nothing more than a risk analysis tool, seeing what kind of liquidity is available and how tight spreads are outside the current bid/ask. There are times you can decipher who is...

    Volume Analysis

    Best I can describe this is volume at the offer price is buyers..those who are selling or distributing are doing so at the offer price..eventually those selling/distributing at the offer figure out they can sell at higher prices so they lift their offers. Then we get into the whole nature of...

    Volume Analysis

    This is where DB nails his point home. Volume interpretations are interpretations that give those that can read them and know what they are reading the edge over those that can't. Will every read be a positive outcome? Of course not..trading is probabilities, not certainties. We never know...
