    How can you buy an odd lot of PPH?

    Are you saying, that you can't place a market or limit sell to the AMEX? I would have your broker call the floor and work the order.

    New order behavior - is it due to IB or INET?

    Is this happening in NASDAQ stocks? If not, it might have something to do with ARCA fully adopting the NYSE trade through rules. It started on 4/10/06 and has really made a difference. Unable to hit the ECN's above the offer to cover a short. Just an idea.

    NYSE Open Book questions

    SteveD The specialist is trying to make money as well. If he can screw over a few daytraders and give his buddies on the floor a break, he 'll be sitting even tighter with them. As for fake bid/offer, I can only ass/u/me it is used as a way for them to make action. People see a 250k share...

    Question for Scalpers

    Depends on your definition of scalping. For me I would say, a good, fast and reliable news service and a stable(I know, a wet dream) execution system.

    Anyone know RFID leaders?

    Doesn't ZBRA have the big Wal-mart contract? I'd say that might put them in the lead or whichever company helped the U.S. Army set their system up.

    Need some help getting started.

    Nasdaq & NYSE different universe?

    Am I missing something here? Is this some type of Black box system or a stock selection system? The only real difference would HOW you enter and exit the trade. There shouldn't be much interference from the NYSE.

    Do I have a case against INET or Cybertrader?

    You don't have a case if your order is time stamped at the exact time as the halt was given. Sucks, but thats the way the rule is written. If the time was 4:29:59, then you would have a case.

    QCharts problem?

    Sounds about right. You get what you pay for. Can't beat the price if your happy not getting anything. Also, make sure you have the setting for which markets you want to view.

    NYSE Increments

    The rules do not matter. The only thing that really matters is how much the specialist is making off you. If he wants to fill you even though the rules says he can't, you'll get filled. How many people have gotten short on a downtick that turned out to be a bottom?

    Styles of Trading to Start on?

    As a few others have said your going to have to figure out what style works for you. This is probably the wrong place to ask for advice since this place is full of "futures" traders. I refer to them as the day traders who got rich in the late '90's and blew up in the early 2000's. There are some...

    NYSE DOT vs (ArcaX, Inet)

    Shorting with Arca when it a downtick on the NYSE is OK if it an uptick on Arca since it is an exchange (Pacific). The problem is almost all software doesn't fully realize this and won't fix due the level of programming required. I'm not sure about INET since it was bought by ISLD which is an...

    Archi vs. Brut

    Having used both, mainly listed stocks I find both of them to be equally fine and awful at the same time. When ARCA is having issues BRUT seems to be king and vica-a-versa. The only real difference between the 2 is that ARCA isn't really an ecn but an exchange which gives them some advantages...
