Thx qtrade. Jaust after I posted, I came to the same conclusion. javaboy

So qtrade, what I think you are saying is that I interpreted what was going on correctly. I neglected to say that there really was no size on the bid, so I am thinking the institutional side was the seller. Still makes me wonder why w/ the buying pressure caused by the spoos going up that the...

Boys and girls. Check out NTY yesterday. Doing its usual trading, sorta going up and down lazily w/ the spoos and then at 14:15 2k shares show up on the ask (usually only couple hundred shares at a time) at a price of $37.00. Anyway, short story is that nty doesnt budge fm $36.98-37.00 for...

Hello boys and girls. Before you flame this as a stupid question, understand Ive done my homework: searched on ET, read books, used yahoos and sharpcharts stock screens, yaddayaddayadda, and most importantly, have executed several hundred trades in my seach. So far, Ive proven to myself...

Can somebody confirm that you can LEGALLY short on island by whacking the ilsd bid for nyse stocks? Sounds too good to be true... Thx. JB

Anybody out there? I dont get it. I give you ingrates my pearls of wisdom garnered through the ages, and you ignore me? ;-> Seriously, I would have thought that Mr. Obogdon would have been compelled to respond to my "guarantee" that his mechanical system will ultimately fail, especially...

What a great, far-reaching thread.... Disclaimers: I am NOT (yet) a "successful" trader although retooling my biz plan to get there. However, have been successful (lucky) spoos trader, started being a pretty consistent nyse scalper when outside life intervened and have read scores of...

Facultus. This is old info, but boise used to have a pretty good shop downtown run by the jones bros,--I can remember only eric's name. They were a branch office of what used to be online investments, renamed hold brothers out of nyc, but I dont know what happened to the boise office. They...

Thank you easy-g. J-boy.

Thx for replies. But the only drop down menu I see is the jump-to-another-forum menu. And I also checked on the home page. What am I missing? j-boy

Ive noticed that the threads go back only three months, in this case to early july. Any way to get beyond three months or is it an IT issue? Thx. Javaboy

Never traded etrade, but they moved fm the naz to the big board in feb of 2001. I was there for all the hoopla as part of etrades tech support. Even got to meet the ceo, kotsokos, and the chimp in the superbowl ads. Liked the chimp....

I'd love a great discussion on this thread. Knowing the mechanics of the floor would be really interesting and even helpful in our trading.. (But really, can you truly tell when one specialist replaces another because the two trade differently? (something said of bright's traders...))...

Hello. Was harkening to the good ol' days when day trading/bandits/nasdaq/ipos caught the imagination of joe q. public, many who thought this day trading stuff was easy, and some who read the ?jan '97? inc mag article with burke and block on the cover and were convinced to open their own shop...

Surfing...something Ive never really done, but maybe some day.... The huge expanse of ocean does not give a shit whether your little ass is trying to stand up on a board just 6 ft by 2 ft (ok, it's a short board--this is my metaphor). Its just there. No armies arrayed against you, no emotion...

Brother InL. <<It really boils down to personal intent. Because yes our activity helps to create jobs, that is unquestioned. The whole DAT business is about us. And we do provide liquidity. But is that our intent when we trade, to create jobs, to provide liquidity. It's not mine. Mine is to...

Beware: the folllowing is induced by sublime rum from my wife's homeland, Puerto Rico. (Ps. moderator dude, if you want to put this in another forum, no problemo). I have been involved w/ the day trading scene as manager and as trader for some four years now. So I have seen a lot of failures...

My bad. Thanks to those who posted re marketrac at nyse being down. Out of curiosity, this evening went to site and clicked around there and every once and a while the javascript to show the post's volume order came up. So I got bright and deleted a lot of the internet cookie and temp...

Oh ye of little faith. Hey, where is the postingl of your monograph of illiquid nyse stocks? Would love to hear what you got to say. Tried trading something a little quicker in my earlier days--you know that cute little thing called the qqq--and it kicked my ass. Call me a...

Whoa, shaq48, quick response, thx. As for the low vol stocks, I appreciate your observation that the specialist is the 800 lb gorilla. I like to think that I get around this because the stocks I have traded in the past (about a yr ago), had a "low volume" of 500-750k shares/day, so not really...
