Very good. The point-by-point specifics aren't as important as understanding how the same techniques are applied to various aspects of the market every way, shape and form. It's not a clean game, never was, never will be. It's the same tricks, over and over, like a Swiss Army knife, you just...

Happy to share anything I know, anytime, my head is like an encyclopedia on this stuff, especially how the inside works traders. Knowing how your opponent works is always key intel to a winning strategy. I prefer to see traders win rather than the brokerages. Happy trades!

I never said anything about anyone "adjusting" your bids. They can, and do, however, skip filling you at the best available current price and fill you instead at your bid, selling you the spread of shares they own under that, and do this by simple in-house trading, so they control your order...

The "penalties" for all unscrupulous activity by large firms is relatively low compared to the relative gains from those practices. MMs are never "hunting" stops exclusively, just spotting them as they go and taking advantage, so they easily blend into normal business, never worth the time of...

All the larger brokerages do this, especially on accounts under $100 K. Orders from all small accounts never leave the brokerages own desk. It's called "in-house trading," they all do it, so they see and fill all orders sent in by these traders, using the brokerage's own inventory to fill the...

Unfortunately, all stop losses and TP's can be seen by MMs, so regardless of where you set them, they can be skipped at the open, unless you set them so far away from where the price is that it doesn't matter if you have them there or not, in which case, why show the dealer your hand? Set a...

The Stop Loss Myth Using stop losses is risky, usually an unncessary exposure, since MMs can see them all. You're showing the dealer your cards. There are actually a few tricks MMs use to skip filling standing stop losses. Having a stop loss doesn't ever guarantee a fill, fyi. There's a much...

That's what the Sell button is for. You'll never go broke taking a profit.

If you're looking for fair, you're definitely in the wrong business. :unsure:

1)-If you are consistently losing on your trades, you are entering too high on a regular basis, chasing, which means you should instead be.. 2)-focusing on bouncing large drops (at the open on stocks trading in a band) and otherwise, instead of chasing climbing stocks, which gets you into high...

Okay, thanks, will take a look at it.

Hi everybody, I'm a newbie to the stock trading game and was wondering what platforms traders are using, which ones seem to do the job the best, for simple day or swing trading, not a lot of technicals, since I'm new. I know there's a few "no fee ones," so I'd be grateful for any input. Thanks.
