Nav in the news once again: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/five-years-after-flash-crash-committee-to-fix-markets-can-barely-agree-an-agenda-2015-06-30?page=2 "This past April another version of what happened in the flash crash came from the CFTC and the Department of Justice. The agency now...

What are the commissions like per contract ?

Key reversal day today....almost a 10% move off the lows for the Shanghai composite.

They are simply running a lean and mean organization so you can enjoy low commission rates. Don't like them ? Just move to another broker.....competition is fierce.

Interesting idea, but what are the hard-and-fast rules for placing long or short trades ?

With all due respect volpunter, this situation occurs way too often as the world of IT has really changed over the past 10 years....and it's now tremendously political....which leads to poor decision making and uneven treatment. The poor guy is only venting....

Chinese stocks tumbled, sending the benchmark index into a bear market, as signs of an exodus by leveraged investors overshadowed the central bank’s effort to revive confidence with an interest-rate cut. The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 3.3 percent to 4,053.03 at the close, taking declines...

Sounds like poor management at your company...

And that would include me as well. Conditions in the IT business in the USA are just horrid. I can't wait to get out. The abuse from the agencies is never ending. My hourly rate just continues to decline instead of rise....yet my doctors and lawyers and accountants are making hundreds of dollars...

I see mostly foreigners in that picture. Are there any American IT workers left standing today ?

Shanghai index off a whopping 7% today....after a short rally. Down 20% in the past month. Is the end in sight ?

Maybe once in a while. Technically, countertrend trading is betting against the current trend for a pullback and taking a quick profit. A good example is the Shanghai index. A countertrend trader would have been placing sell stop orders below the market for the past several months. Wham, it...

Something is fishy here. A $700k bet with options should have yielded at least 3x the original bet !! This must be wrong: "$1 million proceeds"

Amazing to me the CME Group was unaware of the types of orders being executed in the pits. WTF...they had all of the prints and the trade history.

It what way exactly ? BTW: Multicharts Pro costs $10k

At least the author was being honest: "quantitative trading is an extremely complex......area of quantitative finance." "In order to carry out a backtest procedure it is necessary to use a software platform." However, I totally disagree with this: "For HFT strategies in particular it is...

silly and stupid..... akin to suing BMW because they sold my neighbor a car and he can get to work faster than I could...that's not fair !!!

Given all of these price points, exactly how does it show the trend ? Definition of 'Camarilla Pivot Points' The formula used in the calculation of Camarilla Pivot Points are: R4 = C + RANGE * 1.1/2 R3 = C + RANGE * 1.1/4 R2 = C + RANGE * 1.1/6 R1 = C + RANGE * 1.1/12 PP = (HIGH + LOW + CLOSE)...

I know, this stuff is just so......I see now why Simons hired PhD's.

So this response pretty much indicates you ARE a wise-ass (my impressions all along). If these are such simple problems, why isn't everyone making money algo trading ? I mean it would be like taking candy from a baby, right ?
