There is "The 69th Annual Trading Conference" in Boca Ratan Florida this weekend. Has anyone been to one of these in the past. Are they worth going to..

Thanks for the handbook. I'm not so sure the AMEX spec is a crook afterall. I didn't know that the AMEX spec could trade through your order and it's legal for him to do that. Do you know what their reasoning is?

I guess everybody fights this problem. I have done something really simple and it helped me immensely. I enter a trade from a combination of the usual stuff, tick ticki, trin, reversal candles, etc... After the trade is on, I switch my focus to a simple 5 period MA and look to get out when that...

If Redi goes, then I can't trade the SPY's anymore. It will be time to trade something else. What really bites is that I used to watch the Island bid fall out then immediately short a weak NYSE stock and get filled on that bid (sometimes). Island traders had gotten so fast at bailing I could...

I trade the SPY's (still). I traded them again today but I quit right before our President decided to reinforce in everyone's mind the idea we are still headed for war....(IMHO one reason for the sell off) The spread falls out quicker than it ever has since I've been trading them. I have...

I had friends of mine that had no interest in the market whatsoever . Then in a matter of a couple of quarters, I was having conversations involving the stock market and listening to opinions of what stock they liked and why. They had become overnight analysts. None of them are still in the...

When they get out of line.. Spank em:D :D

aphex, life could be sooooooo grand!!!!:D :D

I don't know what I want but, I know what I don't want. I don't want to end up on the outside looking in. I don't want to have to look at the last trade of my career. You know, the one that blew up your account, and know I screwed it up. I don't want to have to walk away quietly, and...

I really hate when my figners swicth letters ofr me:D

I'm trying to pick 10 stocks to guage the overall market. Would you change these or keep them? GM MSFT XOM PFE C WMT INTC MRK AOL AIG

It's impossible to get away from uncertainty. Trading is uncertainty. The worlds a more uncertain place. One persons heart was not meant to carry all the evil in this world. The media seems to expect it from us, the way they constantly bombard us with tragedy. No human should be arrogant enough...

All I traded was SPY's. The AMEX specialist must think he died and went to heaven... He gave the absolute worst fills that I have ever seen go across the board today. The spread was always at least .15. and Island wasn't there to keep him in line. How is that fair to us....I couldn't get a fill...

Oh, So that's why someone would sell 411,000 share of the SPY's. Gee, are you really dumb enough to think that's the reason?

So now I know. :D

Friday saw one of the lowest, if not the lowest spread in the Spyder's all year. Then what the H@#? a 411,900 print goes off on the amex after the close at 84.35 which is .78 cent less than the price 15 minutes before the market closed how about a nice 321,282 profit. Does anybody think that...

I spent this afternoon watching the WMT GE & SPY along with the sp500 and listened to squawk. The Island bid fell out first always, followed by the futures. Wmt & GE didn't seem to be in sync with either one which makes sense because they are listed. I am leaning toward the opinion that the...

I don't know but tomorrow (Thursday) I'm going to set up GE WMT and SPY next to the SP500 and squawk and see who is leading who. I'll let you know the outcome. Maybe you could do the same thing and compare?

How would Island consistently know which direction to move before the futures pit knows. Don't the SPY take their direction from the futures? One might speculate that persons trading the SPY's on Island have to know the order flow that's getting sent before it gets sent to the pit. I don't know...

I Trade the spy's mostly and lately the spread on Island is widening (lets say dropping for this question) before the SP500 futures pit bid drops. The bid will drop out of site before an order is sent to the SP500 pit. I listen to the SP500 pit live and watch a chart of the spoos right beside...
