Sure it does. Retail traders using say a Scottrade or similar retail brokerage account won't have access to the same tools, execution quality, or...
Instead of regurgitating the same plagiarized material you downloaded from Google over and over again in this thread, why don't you tell us your...
How do you know he's not just a newbie who surfed here trying to find reviews on his broker? C'mon, you don't really believe he's trying to plug...
Why are you responding to a 14 month old thread? Did you search ET for Mr. Millman's name?
I hope for your sake that your "technical rebate trading" strategy doesn't rely on floor brokers after C's reverse split. While floor brokers may...
I for one will be going back to my roots and start scalping WCOM and ENE again. That's where it all began for me.
Congrats on the huge winning trade... Your username makes sense. :D Just curious, how are you YTD?
Just wait until May 9th and you'll really start to see trading volume plummet.
Funny thing is it was all 100% legit. I stopped posting when I blew the account up.
Wow, almost 7 years later and a lot of HFTs such as myself find themselves in the same boat now that C is doing a reverse split. It's amazing how...
All those stocks you mentioned, along with a few dozen others going back to the early 2000's (ENE, WCOM, ERIC, etc.) did trade in the same way as...
I'm pretty sure I am right. A lot of black boxes and HFTs are already trading those other symbols right now as it is. There simply isn't enough...
While you can artificially create liquidity, you can't really artificially create volume. So take a stock like S which averages ~50M shares a day....
Yep and worse even, everybody will stampede into stocks like S, ALU, and Q leading to crappy fills since so many traders will be bidding and...
Discuss. :D http://www.cnbc.com/id/42196879?__source=yahoo
Some won't make it, others will trade different symbols. The trading in the other symbols won't be the same as C though: the volume, liquidity,...
It still won't trade anywhere even close to C pre-reverse split. Prop shops, black boxes, HFTs, etc. can only create so much volume. If they're on...
True, but look at the inside liquidity on the bid and offer on a QQQQ or MSFT compared to a C. World of difference. It takes a *LOT* more size to...
That's not necessarily true. A lot of scalpers such as myself profit more from the spread than rebates. I don't do much rebate trading at all...
It has everything to do with the price of the stock. The same style of trading will not apply to C at $45 that it does at $4.50. The volume will...
