hey gang, i am looking for a service that reads articles in popular financial newspapers ( WSJ, FT ) and then publishes commentary on related stocks / ETFs based on the articles. something like this? ( http://seekingalpha.com/article/11956-one-page-annotated-wsj-summary-june-13th )...

thanks D2. so , just to be sure. If i deposited $5K, would i have enough margin to short 2 S & P emini contracts valued @ $75K each ( $50 multiplier * SP Cash index @ 1500 )?

hey gang, i'm interested in opening an account with IB, for some relatively small intraday S & P E mini trades I want to do. any of you guys got a ballpark on how much cash i need to have in my account to buy ( or short ) a low number of contracts at a time? thanks!

trader07 is right. i know that if you look at an intraday chart for SPY and compare it to the intraday chart for the SP500 there is significant drift between the two time series... i am looking for something that matches the SP or Dow near perfectly...

hey gang, are there any products that mirror the SP 500 and/or the Dow Jones index intraday? for example, right now if i want to buy into the DOW index, i would have to buy all of the stocks that make it up, in the right proportion, etc... instead, is there one publicly traded product...

hey gang, i am interested in finding what "fair value" for S&P500 futures has been for each day, going back as long as possible. is there a place i can find "fair value" for SP 500 futures? also, is there a place i can find what that value has been each day for the last X years? thanks...

hi don, this is not at all what i have found. for example, for the last two days, i have placed a pre-market On Open Short order for SII ( Price set to "Market" , Time in Force set to "Open", Exch set to "NYSE" ). SII is on the Reg SHO Pilot. I haven't gotten the fill.... Do you...

hmmm. what about if a stock is on the Reg SHO pilot list? ( i.e. in that case, i believe the down tick rule doesn't apply to it, right...? ) I'd be fine limiting my shorting to these stocks....

i am trying to short some NYSE stocks at the open. <b>the problem is, i _never_ get filled</b>. i was told by the back office, that short orders at the open have NO priority, so the specialists don't fill them. is there a reliable way to short NYSE stocks at the open, and get filled at...

i see. how about an example? let's say something opens at $78.50 ( which is 20cents higher than the previous close $78.30 ) and i've put in a short onopen limit short sell order at $78.40... am i right in saying... #1) it's an uptick so it's legal to short. #2) i will get...

hi everyone, simple question: i know that when you place "OnOpen" NYSE buy orders before the market opens, you are guaranteed to get filled at the opening price. what about shorts at the open? if you place an "OnOpen" short sell market order to be executed when the market opens, are...

hmmm, good point. i'll try checking with the software manager. thanks for the number.

hey taofinance, thanks for your estimates! how did you arrive at those numbers? are they just guesses ( which is fine ), or are they backed up by something besides gut instinct?

they do have an API. it's c++ ( MSVisual studio 7 .net ). the latest is for Anvil 2.6.1. my main problem is the lack of documentation. bobarino, do you know of any documentation from them, besides code comments? i agree that their stuff seems to work ok, it's just kind of a pain to...

i see what you mean. really, i'm more curious about how someone could even arrive at an estimate of answers to the above questions? does anyone keep a record of the number of active trading accounts?

anyone got any ideas on this? ( any leads, or estimates on any of these would be appreciated ) <b> how many individual prop traders are there? how many big, institutional traders / trading groups are out there? how many hedge funds are out there? how many Ameritrade , casual day...

after reading a few posts, i've noticed that people assume trading is getting more competitive because the number of traders is increasing... i was wondering if anyone has any data about this. :confused: <u>questions</u> ( any leads, or estimates on any of these would be appreciated )...

thanks for the tip! i'll check them out...
