SUPERSOES in action

Yesterday the SUPERSOES pilot went finally live.
Did anyone follow any of the stocks that are part of it?
I didn't (but today I'll have NEWP in my sights), but, with this thread, I wanted to stimulate discussion/sharing of insights into the new system.

TIA to all posters

Kind of surprising that 3 days into SS and only two posts to this thread??!!

I have been watching NEWP and am amazed at the L2 movement at times. Interesting to watch MM's not showing 1000 shares actually disappear and see their volume print...ONCE....on the T/S. I am anxious to see a more liquid/active stock trade under SS though.

Since the implementation of supersoes this market has become more difficult to scalp trade. Has anybody else noticed the difference? I would be interested in any comments.
 
Zed, I've noticed that too.

I wonder is this is because of the markets volume and liquidity ( see that It has definetely decreased in most of stocks: msft, intc, csco..etc)....or could be because of the implementation of SuperSOES.

I hope when the market reaches it's bottom, the volume/liquidity should rise.

by the way, since you're a scalper, what firm do you trade with and what is your commission? Also, how many trades do you usually perform? if you don't mind.....

Luck in your trades

I believe that the advent of supersoes makes the market more efficient, due to faster executions, and thus decreases the opportunities for scalping. Furthermore, with faster executions and firm market maker prices, it now becomes easier to attempt to scalp. Paradoxically, with this ease comes greater competition which in turn makes scalping overall much harder.
