Shakes-- You say to "use stops but do not get shaken out"--aren't these contradictions? I think I see shakes occur often---but do not understand the mechanics---how does one determine if MMs are purposefully walking the price down---are large swings in a short time period on small volume an accurate indication? More wisdom on shakes would be appreciated. I hope you guys keep up the lessons---including thoughts on your bad trades.

Can you suggest where I might be able to learn what the differences are between Selectnet/ISLD/SOES/ARCA, when I would use one or the other (which your rules already suggest) and why? I hesitate to make use of any rule I don't understand the reason for. Thanks! > 4. Trade using appropriate trading tools > ....a. Understand the different trading routes and what they can do. > ....b. Don't use Selectnet with a price far from the inside price > ....c. Don't use ISLD to cross, use ARCA > ....d. SOES only on slow moving stocks or when there are at least 4 MMs at the inside price. > ....e. Preference in Selectnet with large volumes > ....f. Join the bid or ask on ISLD where possible
