    Front Running, Flash Orders, or Blackbox/Algorithmic Manipulation?

    I posted this in another forum before but I think it bears repeating and is pertinent. The real heart of the issue isn't High Frequency Trading, it's High Frequency Quoting (HFQ), and High Frequency Front-running (HFF). Flash orders facilitate both. If you are asking yourself wtf is this guy...

    S3 Analysis Shows High-Frequency Trading Has No Impact on Retail Equity Prices

    This S3 application is a joke tool for pikers. This whole debate is such a load of shit! The real heart of the issue isn't High Frequency Trading, it's High Frequency Quoting (HFQ), and High Frequency Front-running (HFF). Flash orders facilitate both. If you are asking yourself wtf is this guy...

    Downgrade to XP Pro from Vista Business

    I have a bunch of new Dell machines that came with Vista install. I used an XP Disk provided to me by Dell for a machine that I bought that had XP originally installed on it, to 'downgrade' all the new machines. No problems, and when I the downgrade it actually didn't even ask me for a product...

    Vw Hit$ Einhorn Twice

    I think you better read the post from pssiedgoy again. Seems the point of his post (and I tend to agree somewhat) is that the fact the average mean revision based box strategy has been destroyed and blown up. Hence a lot of the black boxes that were all over the mkt in the last couple of years...

    Can you belive the close today 10-27-08

    I tend to agree. Today's close seems like a fairly clear-cut case of liquidation, redemption, margin call selling. That and a good dose of , "no fucking way i am carrying a position over-night in this mkt environment". Add to that a little , "holy shit we are dumping and actually going in the...

    Vista and Multiple Monitors

    Ditto to that. I recently purchased a bunch of Dell Vostro's with VISTA installed on them and ATI radeon cards. It was impossible to make the things work with an additional PCI video card installed (also ATI radeons). VISTA would not allow the PCI-e and PCI video cards to function together...

    new "circuit breakers" for individual stocks

    I absolutely agree when we are referring to just buying and selling. I would never endorse a circuit breaker that prevented longs from exiting, that is insane. I am just more for a well considered , reasonable , breaker that would just slow things a little bit when shit is in free fall. The...

    new "circuit breakers" for individual stocks

    Let me first qualify my post by say I am an ardent short seller. In fact I prolly make the lions share of my daily profits going short. Anyone who has read my exchanges with flytiger will know that I am against the outright banning of short selling. This being said I am however very...

    CHK: McClendon Sells Out!

    Or maybe he "and his good friend Boone Pickens" will have more time to focus on saving the U.S. and the world pimping 'clean energy' . Mc Clendon won't have that pesky distraction of conflict with his personal stock holdings.
