Anyone? Did I just dream this up or did I actually hear this? I could not find anyhting on Nasdaq trader but figured the well informed traders here could help me out . Any info. would be appreciated.

Does anyone know what these are and when they take affect? I am referring to the reports I have heard that the Nasdaq will be lowering the cost to trade on Supermontage, I am assuming this means lower fees for SUMO orders or charges when taking liquidity using SIZE. Anyone?

How expensive were the shares you were trading? The # of shares you traded is only half the equation. It is the value per share times the # of shares that you need to know. And you only pay the Tax on the way out (sales). Hence, 100,000 shares traded of $100 stock = 100,000 / 2 = 50,000...

I have traded Nasdaq listed equities for a few years using the squawk (predominately realtimefutures.com) and I find it is a very useful tool. I have no difficulties following Benny but admittedly I spent a great deal of time in an auction environment in my former life. I can basically tell the...

Gentlemen, thank you for your responses. It certainly appears to be a complicated process. The issue of the currency exchange is actually what gave rise to initiating this thread.

:eek:

I am curious to know how one goes about trading equities inter-market. If I want to buy a shares on one exchange and sell them into another what are the barriers to doing so, is there a special clearing arrangement that would facilitate this? That is to say if I purchased shares of say RIMM on...

Someone out there must have a suggestion, or at least I would like to hear other experiences with a similar problem.

This is a question for all you techies out there! The firm I am at has recently been experiencing problems with bursting quotes at times of peak market volume. For example, on the open when volume is very heavy the traders in the office will get sporadic momentary freezing of their level II...

Interesting strategy Spread! But may I ask why you trade without charts? Is it too add some challenge to the otherwise laughably easy job of trading the markets for a living:D :D But seriously, do you have a particular reason for no using charts? I scalp high volume Naz stocks using mostly...

I guess everyone should find out for themselves. Everything has its tradeoffs and every person has their own personal threshold for what they would be willing to do to achieve a desired end. Obviously enduring the situation at Swift is acceptable for some or they would have no traders. I...

I do not advocate intentionally acting in a manner that is contrary to the interests of the firm ( and by default the trader), by setting out to try and lose money. As I said I don't think that this benefits the trader anyways since it has no "experience" value and it certainly won't be...

Discipline, glad to see that you appear to be an extremely morally grounded person, and while your "two wrongs don't make a right" is admirable I would save it for Sunday school. I only have observational experience (friends who trade/traded there) but my info. is that moral platitudes and 'fair...

I know a guy who worked there until recently. Seems a lot of unusual things go on around there! Most recent stuff includes raising to $7000 net per month the amount a trader must make before he can get paid, and this one was weird, they recently terminated all of their traders and then made them...

I think that the argument of traders being born or made is way over-blown and so is the analysis of these statistics. Trading is not magic, it is a business! New businesses fail all the time, in fact start up businesses fail at an alarming rate and that is exactly what happened to most of these...

I think something has been lost here in everyone's zeal to have their opinion heard on commission costs being a make or break issue! If you are involved in the trading business and you treat commissions simply as a cost of doing your business than its importance is clearly evident...

Thanks for the effort in your post. You make numerous valuable points and thank you for the link. Looks like some cool technology but as you have said, very few can trade and teach. This is especially true when it comes to the issue of time. Time is my foe here. I do not have the time to put...

I am giving this one more shot since I am desperate. It is obvious that the link to www.datschool.com does not work because these guys are not around anymore. I am looking for any way get the information that was hosted on that site. The reason it is important for me is because I am bringing...

Thanks Hardrock! It was a nice try and I got excited that it might be the solution that I was looking for. But alas, I was disappointed:( . Thanks anyways. If anyone else has any suggestions they would be appreciated. X
