and...as mentioned in the Bloomberg article...he had an orange lamborgheni. Chicks love hot cars. Note: the word "douche" was mentioned many times in the article.

Surf - Agreed, but this guy did architect a brilliant algorithm that fooled all of the other "bots" out there...even the really expensive ones used at HFT firms. This guy's claim to fame will be that his actions FINALLY got authorities to put detection mechanisms in place for spoofers. It's been...

One thing to keep in mind: The bots (algos) are likely trading like crazy first 30 minutes.

Interestingly there are options on the TNA on the CBOE. However, they are thinly traded...not much volume....and the premiums are high

It was an interesting read. But if you look at the charts pre-crash, almost each of them were in the 5th Elliott wave.....pretty uncanny. Also, the prices were way "up there" relative to recent history....thus giving credence to the mean-reversion theory too.

So my estimate of his profitability in dollar terms was close ?

Really ? Try creating an automated trading system to beat those trading stats. Nearly impossible.

The Disadvantages : While CFDs appear attractive, they also present some potential pitfalls. For one, having to pay the spread on entries and exits eliminates the potential to profit from small moves. The spread will also decrease winning trades by a small amount (over the actual stock) and will...

Aren't you missing a zero from 1000$ ? No one can learn much from only losing $2k....heck that's only equivalent to a few trades. $10k would do.

Of course this is outstanding performance. Even at a modest $190 win and $100 loss per trade, this comes out to over $13k per month. That's not a bad salary......and I'll bet he made much more than that.

Thanks Debit !!

Too risky to short ? Look at the doubling of the Shanghai index in this year so far....
