U a Scalper? Daytrader? Intra-day trader? Fader?

  1. wow. I'm assuming all the hotkeys are "load and go" (send order)?

    why so many keys for buy, sell or cancel? are they each tied to a different stock? destination?

    A big day is 5+ trades for me so this kinda stuff is very foreign to me.

  2. Cancel all bids, cancel all offers, cancel best bids, cancel best offers, cancel last order...

    buy/sells are different destinations, order sizes (one set does position size, the other does tier size)...

  5. They are trying to falsify the law of large numbers application in noise trading.

  9. Wow, I have no idea how someone can place so many trades per day AND overcome slippage and transaction costs. Seems to be working for NYOBScalper based on the high frequency of winning days. I only place a few trades per day and hold for days to weeks.

  10. The commission is really low. How is it possible for so many trades?
