today you can program everything
When I was a SOUS trader you had to snag em
I’ve got a pal day trades totally based on a daily guideline he pays for with trigger points all day on multiple issues
Last year he grossed 900,000 in stock trade gains
Brought home a little over half after fees and taxes
He used to be my landscaping contractor
Now he’s a capital source for me on deals
He just monitors the program all day with notifications
Longs shorts and options
It’ll do it all
Man I would have to snag on Knight ridder ECN in my day and sometimes I’d get odd blocks or get locked out
Got hammered a few times stuck with odd blocks and unable to get a buyer as a stock collapsed as market makers only tagged one another
I know people who claim to make a lot off algotrading and nothing in them hints they are broke but personally prefer old school ways.
