Benefits of the Specialist

Discussion in 'Trading' started by Mr. Bollinger, Apr 28, 2003.

  1. What are the benefits of a specialist? Some have said that it's easier to tape read stocks than futures because of the specialist, and that is why they don't trade futures. Can anyone explain in further detail? Also, do indicators work better in one than the other? Thanks.
     
  2. Decimalization and lack of momentum in the markets make "TRUE" tape reading extremely difficult.
