I couldn't imagine how this could be reliably accomplished. For futures markets, the queue could likely be estimated with some degree of accuracy. If I remember correctly, Xtrader can provide an estimate of this. As i960 pointed out, TT and CQG may as well. When you start dealing with...

Price impact would depend on the current liquidity and the routing strategy employed. If a large limit order is sent in 4 ticks above the current best offer, execution will occur at the current offer and up to 4 ticks higher, depending on how many shares are offered within those 4 ticks. If your...

I struggled with good entries and terrible exits today. I made 2 trades. Despite well calculated entries, especially on IRBT short, I ended up taking piddly profits and not sticking to the exit plan. Once again, back to the drawing board as I try to deal with and overcome these frustrating...

I started the day looking to cover the rest of a 3-day swing trade (short UA) that wasn't looking so great in light of Friday's after-hour shenanigans on the stock. I should have held. Gun shy, I did another small short (WYNN), covering despite my initial strong conviction on the trade...

Slow day today. Got back into some old bad habits of taking winners too quick before my strategy says to. I didn't stick around in the trades for the big moves, as was the case today. Up $71

Slow day, 1 trade on 200 shares. Captured most of the day's range. It was a bit of an experiment on holding a winner. Up 131.

2 trades, each 200 shares. Up 201 (reporting currency is CAD).

I used to post on the Trader P/L 2013 thread back in May. I'm looking to start again in hopes of putting some pressure on myself. For the most part, I'm consistently profitable. I'm not nearly where I want to be on a $profit basis, but making strides in the right direction. I've struggled...

I'm not sure if I understand your post correctly. Are you looking for a scanner for sub-penny stocks hitting 52-week highs? In any case, the best scanner I can suggest is TC2000. You can scan for virtually any setup and filter by price. You can also scan real time for Nasdaq Pink Sheets. The...

Forgot to post blotter yesterday. I was up $88 yesterday and $49 today. Nothing big, mainly because the majority of my trades are shorts especially at these levels. Next week should be interesting.

Finished up $240 ($187 realized P&L from 2 small swing trades).

I trade a smaller account (40k) and operate at a lower % of buying power (considering leverage). I trade exclusively stocks and once in a while options. Most trades are done with 200-500 shares. Although a lot of my P&Ls posted here aren't impressive by many standards, often in the $100/day...

Up $600 from Friday (held position over weekend) Realized P/L $370.

Finished up $491 yesterday.

I finished up $498 from yesterday ($230 being realized gains as I was in the red at yesterday's close). I was shorting during the short burn on LULU the past 2 days. Its been difficult and frustrating, involving a lot of in and outs and averaging. Just after finally getting flat the stock...

Down about $200 in unrealized loss. I'm holding a trade overnight, possibly building a position. I opted to trade more shares of a lower price stock (RBY). I'll see where the stock is tomorrow and determine if I average it or scrap it. I was really tempted to pick up ABX near the close, but...

Up $74 today (I was up $8 yesterday - no screenshot). Slow week so far. I'm. Trying to find a good entry on some of the gold miners for a swing trade - GG didn't pan out today - will try again tomorrow. If ABX goes below $19, I'll start a decent-sized position.

It was an easy day as far as set-ups. I should have been up a lot more. Up $128

It was another frustrating day. I just did 2 trades. I took a larger loss on PNRA than necessary - I accidentally sent a market order to get out instead of a limit order and crossed a ridiculous spread. I'm trying to take things up a few notches with my P/L and trading in general but these...
