  2. But everysingle one I have used has an open position window.

    Its a very basic feature.

    Tradescape

    Instaquote

    Watcher

    Many others to choose from.

    All the above can be named something else but its still the same basic setup.

    Some Brokers private label them to keep you from knowing about the vender.

    the game has evolved to a much finer art.

    technicial, momentum, OO, etc. are all being hurt by lack of liquidity, slippage to specialists and MM's and narrow ranges.

    let's all face the music...

    it ain't gettin easier for a while.

  5. A Trader with HUGE BUYING power is sitting there, on the same basis as you, and he took it out, (taking down the stock to Zero).

    By the way it was not Seconds (it was MILLISECONDS).

    So, I should be taking the 20 or 30 dollars and forget about it, LOL.

    Which is tiny snatches compared to the old days.

    I agree with most that the market is tough, but not to the point you can't make money. Its the type of market where good old fashioned tape reading still works. Its been done for a long time and probably won't go out of style anytime soon.

  7. Doesn't matter how good you read Level II or the momentum indicators.

    The profit is not there in the trade sizes that would normally produce a nice 100 to 500 buck pop.

    You need big buying power.

  8. That is why many traders are shifting to futures. With the leverage added, there is plenty of movement to make (or lose) serious bucks days trading.

  9. Wow.. I have gone onto another thread and here you still are..let me guess you live w. your parents, have no overhead, and think trading is easy? Please correct me if I am wrong, but the survivors in this market either: have huge trading accounts, or live w/ Mom and don;t have 6K+ per month in overhead.

    Welcome to the real world....randynutts...all military analogies aside...Marines and Trading are worlds apart..No one's life is at stake trading...get a grip..some people have mouths and mortgages to feed..the never say die shit is a JOKE.
