This comes as news to me. Bad news. Alex, can you confirm or deny this?
I was very pleased with the quality of quotes-- even EDGE-- on Tuesday, but held back from saying anything until I could observe Laser's...
After the fix, I'm not seeing 5-25 stuck levels of ARCA on any given side of the L2. But I am still seeing one or two levels of slow, lagged ARCA...
Thanks for your reply. It's much appreciated-- more than daily advice to remove the stuck ECNs from my L2. Your reply raises a few questions....
The abominable performance continues today. ARCA quotes are sticking 100% of the time, NYSE quotes are continuously 10-20 seconds old. It makes...
What you're saying makes perfect sense, but I don't think it's as simple as that. Lower commissions don't automatically mean lower income for a...
This sounds like what's happening with Genesis. Eventually you reach a point where the corners you cut at the beginning out of necessity didn't...
For the past several weeks, I and the traders in my group have had to deal with abominable software conditions. These problems are all with...
I was a swifty too, back in the day. I remember my branch manager giving us all new contracts with "Barka" on them. Everyone was asking, "Who the...
It's so stupid when these threads turn into pissing contests about post count and date registered on ET. I have been with Bear Capital since...
I agree there have been problems at Genesis for the past few months. It hasn't been easy on any of us, but as someone who's been with Genesis...
I'd say Genesis Securities, hands down. IB is next-best, because they make more instruments available for trade... but for simple futures and...
There's no way in hell I'd buy this overpriced piece of crap. Problem 1: touch screen. It's tactile, yeah, but it's vision-dependent. You have...
Hmm, that sounds good... if that's the case, then NYSE sweep arbing will stay alive beyond Phase IV rollout. I guess we'll have to wait and see......
I'm a younger trader, focusing on consistency and increasing my risk gradually as my net worth goes up. But beyond that, I don't need to explain...
As of Jan. 1 t's the same charge as Nasdaq... $3 per 1000. Yeah, there was a trade-through rule preventing ARCA from executing at prices better...
I was worried in December but I seem to be doing quite alright, even with scaled-back exposures while I learn the new ins and outs. It's nice...
Allow me to reiterate a post I made ages ago.
Wireless trading is OK, for lighter-volume types of trading. If you're doing more than 40-50 executions a day, I would strongly recommend AGAINST...
I recently upgraded the RAM on my trading computer. I added two 1-gb generic-brand sticks and it suits my needs. From what I understand, as long...
