Review of real time futures quotes::What You Need to Know About E Trade








An               earlier               piece,               "Placing               Stock               Orders               Like               a               Pro,"               discussed               market               situations               in               which               limit               orders               were               preferable               to               market               orders.

Generally,               for               non-professional               investors,               that's               most               of               the               time.

The               best               exceptions               are               market               orders               placed               before               the               opening               when               other               indicators               like               stock               market               futures               indicate               the               overall               market               is               going               your               way               and               you               have               some               reason               like               breaking               news               to               want               to               insure               that               your               orders               are               executed.

If               you               are               using               market               orders               while               the               stock               markets               are               open,               you               can               use               real               time               quotes               to               try               to               improve               on               your               executions.

Let's               say,               for               example,               that               you               want               to               buy               100               Shares               of               Occidental               Petroleum               (OXY)               on               a               day               when               the               overall               market               is               churning               around               without               a               clear               trend.

You               check               the               "Real-Time"               quote,               hopefully               through               the               web               site               of               the               discount               broker               on               which               you               plan               to               place               the               trade,               and               see               that               the               last               trade               was               a               minute               ago               at               a               price               of               74.33               and               that               the               current               bid               is               74.28               and               the               current               ask               74.35.
               You               also               note               the               "size"               of               these               offers,               perhaps               noting               something               like               4500               shares               bid               at               74.28               and               1200               offered               at               74.35.

At               this               point,               indications               are               that               the               larger               amount               bid               is               putting               pressure               on               the               buy               side               and               you               can               begin               putting               your               computer               cursor               near               the               "Submit               order"               indicator               for               your               "Buy               100               OXY               market"               order.

It               might               start               moving               up               in               which               case               you               should               proceed               forthwith.

On               the               other               hand,               you               might               see               a               quick               drop               to               74.10,               for               example,               on               an               increase               in               volume               of               20,000               shares               as               some               institution               sells               a               block.

Keep               watching               and               buy               on               the               first               move               up               after               this,               having               saved               perhaps               $25               on               a               hundred               shares.
               Limit               orders               are               similar.

With               markets               so               volatile,               you               should               probably               place               them               as               "Day"               orders,               saving               the               "Good               till               Cancelled"               (GTC)               orders               for               longer               range               positioning.

Using               the               OXY               example               of               74.28               bid/74.35,               if               you               wanted               to               use               a               limit               order               rather               than               try               to               ride               the               market,               you               could               enter               a               limit               buy               order               at,               say,               74.30.

Check               the               quote.

On               any               responsive               quoting               service,               it               should               now               show               your               bid               of               74.30               as               the               bid               on               the               exchange.

On               an               actively               traded               stock               like               this,               you               have               an               excellent               chance               of               an               execution,               which               probably               saved               you               five               bucks               from               having               entered               a               market               order               when               you               chose               a               limit.
               The               same               tactics               apply               after               closing               and               with               less               actively               traded               stocks               where               the               "spreads"               between               bid               and               ask               prices               are               larger.

You               might               see               OXY               quoted               after               the               close               at               a               close               of               74.42,               72.75               x               100               bid,               76.45               x               100               asked.

Orders               accumulating               overnight               will               dictate               the               opening               price               and               you               can               set               a               limit               by               using               the               closing               price               and               adjusting               it               in               accordance               with               any               company               news,               stock               futures               and               your               own               attitude.

Using               limit               orders               after               checking               late               news               and               market               direction               is               a               rewarding               discipline               whose               small               trading               edges               will               be               of               lifetime               benefit.
