Is not about, trading with the specialist, or without. It is just plainly irresponisble not to mention unjust to implement the new system, without ensuring all the neccessary measures steelhead named. In addition, they are not evening maning up to the problems, and attempting to take...

ByLoSellHi, you have a great point. The Nyse has not been on the top of their game ever since the hybrid system came out. It seems like they have problems daily on the floor, whether it be delayed quotes, frozen orders, or the other assortment of technical issues. This hybrid rollout has been...

I just find it ridiculous when the specialist are whining about not making as much as they use to... After comparing their income to the average person, we should all feel bad cuz they are having a harder time stealing from us.

I reaize those stocks went hybrid, but they still retain the specialist nonsense. There is no need for a human facilitator in a electronic market. To have any human being provide a fair and orderly market is a joke.

Scalper007, I agree with you in that the HYBRID is a complete joke, today with airline news effecting continental ( CAL ) and yesterday with NUE and X off the lowered guidance. I don't see any real benefit at all. The open book and level 2 is complete mess whenever the volume and volatility...

Thanks for the inputs, but I am not aware of any caliber guys at the 2 locations? Are there multiple groups at the locations?

I've contacted Hold Brothers, to hopefully start a trading career. Deciding btw the midtown and downtown, nyc offices. Does anyone have any input of suggestions on which one has better training, and better traders to learn from? Thanks!

Homebuilding sector use to have all the hot money. I am praying for a rise back to prominence.

Anyone else getting sub .003 with a series 7 at a prop firm? I average 3 million a month, what rate can I negotiate for ?

Sorry is off topic, but do you know where the underground spots in montreal are for some decadence.

Btw, what do you guys think about STQ? is the PHLX Steel producers index.

Thank you guys for the input I will look into it, I agree sometimes copper and gold don't really move together and I trade copper and the other mining stocks more so then exclusive gold stocks.

i agree with the fact that esignal does suck, there are constant problems at my office.

What is a good index to use when trading precious metals, I mean for stocks like PCU , FCX, NUE, and other copper and metal stocks. An example would be using the HGX when trading Toll Brothers. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response. I really meant it more in a specific position one would take in those stocks. Say 5k shares?

Hey Bill, I agree that the moves created by the market short sellers have been less effective. My observation was that ever since the SHO rule came into play, the moves became diminished for most stocks for whatever reason. I have heard that a few years ago, it was a whole different ball game. I...

Given your experiences, what do you guys consider as large size for a intraday position for a volatile sector such as HMO's , oil/energy, homebuilder, financials? Lets assume that the stock trades 3mil avg.

I do understand the attraction toward slower stocks, and cheaper SEC fees, but you will learn alot more trading stocks that actually move and with lower volume, around 1 - 2 mil perhaps. I am assuming that you are starting out with 100 shares, give the homebuilding sector a shot. A few stocks...

Currently the only platform I can think of doing it on is ESIGNAL, does anyone know how it can be done?

I havent really watched X closely, but the DNA specialist employs a ton of tricks. Play with the level 2, fake size, etc, but bad fills is probably the thing that irritates me the most. SLB is a little annoying with the constant size being printed everywhere, but the stock has alot of volume...
