I've been looking for a vendor that offers the Lavaflow ECN order depth book for months now without much luck. I've tried calling Lava directly but they were of no help. I also tried the usual suspects... Thomson Reuters, eSignal, Interactive Data, IB, etc, etc... No dice. Sure, the Bloomberg...

How much more net profit do the 14 monitors yield over the conventional two monitor setup?

This is actually a pretty simple question to answer. Assuming the SPY position carries a 25% maintenance requirement like at most brokers and clearing firms, your resulting day trading buying power would be $150K. This is assuming SPY has not moved at all from where you purchased it. If it...

You could use either the NQBX or BYX routes for that. You'd want to make sure that the two routes are configured to stay on the book only and not route out. This way in your example when the stop is triggered, it'll become marketable and you'll get paid for removing liquidity from NQBX or BYX...

I don't think you understand the difference between nearsightedness and farsightedness. While it is true that most people need correction (i.e. eye glasses) for farsightedness when they hit their early 40's, I am nearsighted, not farsighted. I am also nowhere near my 40's. Who said I am...

Yeah but that's farsightedness... I'm nearsighted. I can read anything close up without issue; it's far away objects that I have difficulty with. Like reading the streaming quotes on CNBC from my bed for example.

Very funny...

Anyone here suffer vision problems from long term trading/staring at the monitor? I've been trading full-time for 10 years now and used to have 20-20 vision. Haven't had my eyes checked in years but now I'm nearsighted with only 20-40 in one eye and 20-50 in the other. I need to start wearing...

What you're looking for does not exist. Think about the purpose of a dark pool.

Who said anything about him owning a Ferrari? He just had a picture of one on his Windows desktop. BTW, 2010 was the first model year for the 458 Italia. So there's no such thing as a 2009 458 Italia. Are you talking about the F430 that it replaced?

Nice observation. That is indeed a red Ferrari 458 Italia on his desktop. While the car was not available to the general public in December of 2009, there were magazine articles and photos of it circulating around the web at that time... "The 458 Italia was officially unveiled at the 2009...

Negative. His ECN fees were actually considerably higher than his rebates. That's why his realized profit was a lot less than his net profit.

Just FYI, he didn't make $194K in an hour. He was up around $99K net after two hours of trading when video #6 ends. The YouTube description states the $194K profit was for the whole day's worth of work. That may or may not be the true net profit as Sterling doesn't automatically factor in...

BTW, this video is from 12/17/2009 when C traded 3,772,638,000. Yes, that's 3.77 billion shares. Those days were really a once in a lifetime opportunity for those who knew how to play the game.

Yep he's one of the best traders of all time, but he flips futures and the OP was asking about scalping equities (C).

Yes it's possible and based on the video, it looks legit. He's trading with a decent amount of BP too as we can tell from him being long 1.5M shares C in the beginning of the video. With 1.5M shares, every cent C moves is equal to $15,000 in realized loss or profit. On this particular day, C...

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, NSDQ, EDGX, and EDGA ran from 1pm to 5pm. ARCA, however, closed at 4pm.

4:1 Day trade buying power is for day trading only. If you hold a position overnight with that much leverage, you will receive a Reg T margin call. If you don't meet that call, you can take what's called a "liquidation in lieu of payment" charge. You are allowed three of these in a rolling 12...

If you're so awesome and can do such amazing things, why are you having such a difficult time at something as trivial as finding a direct access firm with commissions superior to Scottrade? For somebody who is new to trading, I can tell you that you will not last long with that kind of attitude.

Oh wait, so you're saying the ROBB strategy doesn't hit the three inverse exchanges in parallel like the BATS' TRIM strategy? So ROBB hits one, then the next, then the last? And then the black boxes will have plenty of time to kill their orders like they're doing to me now? I did see the...
