    Market Maker Tricks

    Since I took part earlier in this discussion I feel the need to say the following, lest anyone thinks I maintain this "conspiracy theory" point of view. IMO: 1. None of this tracking individual accounts with purpose to trade against them happens on NASDAQ an regular basis and to any...

    How did you get into trading?

    You made me re-live 1996-1998. 11K left in battered account, no other means to live on, no profession, no even right to work - talk about scared money! But hey, I know firsthand two things: 1. It's immensely hard and 2. It's doable. Cornered man is capable of much if he can function under...

    How did you get into trading?

    1/2 is a figure of speech, I take it? In my encounters it's more like 1% - unless they avoid me :D Each time I speak at the Expo, there are probably 2-3 russian-speaking in the audience (that identify themselves); in e-mail exchange hardly 1-2 a year; in the room at different times there...

    How did you get into trading?

    I didn't "get" into it... I invented it :D Half joking. Here is the story. Being fed up with combination of mafia and corrupted police in Ukraine, in 1996 came to Canada with visitor visa. Applied for immigration and, as a businessman from highly corrupted and criminal country, became a...

    new research...

    I've read about similar study at least three times over several years. I haven't run any kind of testing on it so can't cite anything negating the idea but I always wanted to ask this: If as study says then why not simply make money with no thinking involved: buy every close, sell AND...

    Market Maker Tricks

    Very true. Entire notion of evil market makers is nothing more than a sign of misunderstanding of the very nature of the market. MMs are part of trading landscape, part of that collective consensus formed every minute and reflected in every tick. This consensus is the market. A trader's job is...

    Market Maker Tricks

    Good advice David. I fully agree with notion "do not try to make it your sole method of reading". Not only it's hard to tell the case where there is a readable behavioral pattern from just a fluke, similar on the surface but with no substance under it; it also ceased to be effective for...

    Michael, this is Trade-Ideas engine, right. We added several setups of ours in co-operation with TI and prolonged trial to two weeks. The story is, we used to have our own for 4 years; then I saw TI's scanner and loved it so much that went to them with suggestion: we abandon ours and switch...

    Market Maker Tricks

    Steve, IMO: there are no secrets. There are no edges based on something conspired and hidden from others (well, fraudulent activities are but that's not the matter of discussion). Those tricks described above is simply one more piece to the puzzle. I don't believe one can trade solely on...
