With all due respect, Mecro is correct in pointing out the abuses. You must be either a specialist or a superioir trader not to notice the held orders and the front running.
You never had two posts? You have to start somewhere. Why are you repeating what you said to me to the post above? Maybe we both have valid points that this is a man's game, and crybabies should goto their mommies, not trade for a living.
No you actually have not read my first post and obviously do not trade NYSE so have no clue what I am talking about. So do me a favor, stay the F**k outta this thread unless you have something constructive to say. For your info, I still make pretty good money from NYSE, I'm up ok today during shit volume. So pardon me for getting concerned about deteriorating market conditions and deteriorating profits as I am becoming a better and better trader.
If someone is screwing you over while playing by the rules, that is called an edge (black boxes on Nasdaq). These specialists are NOT playing by the rules, and it'd be ridiculous for anyone to tolerate this. Personal choice: I trade Nasdaq only And yes I did see the new NYSE commercial. Laughable.
While we all are very proud of you for your money making ability, i'm afraid you suffer from a poor attitude, son. I agree with the statement that you are a crybaby, so are you now going to curse me out? It's easy to see why you are having problems with trading, it mirrors your problems in dealing with those of opposing views. You don't curse people who don't agree with you. You'd better learn that quickly, or there's no hope for you with respect to trading and with respect to interaction with others.
Dontcha just love these new aliases that pop up just to rib people I dont think Mecro is being a cry baby. Its valid to bitch about a blatant injustice. These SPECS are nothing but thieves and you simply dont have a CHOICE but to go through them for a large percentage of the stock market universe. Now if you bitch about NAZ black boxes pennying you to death, well then you're a cry baby, because everyone is playing on the same field, by the same rules, and you can do the very same thing if you wish. peace axeman
He's only hurting himself. He starts a thread asking for civility, and proceeds to curse people out who disagree with him. Arrogance is akin to depression in my opinion.
Strange I was replying to halfback who just like ur current alias only has 3 posts. Funny, how these super experts calling others crybabies all of the sudden show up with 2 different aliases that have no posts and obviously little experience with NYSE. Thanks for your insightful post. I guess I may be a crybaby since I do not enjoy getting robbed by order execution and manipulation. But then what would you know being that you cant even expand on the NYSE abuses. Since it's quite obvious that you and halfback are aliases of some loser, welcome to ignore.
