it's way too simple approach and won't work in today's market. simply because of their current microstructure. today,we(the retailers) have no tools to fight with pro's on such short term. have any of you noticed, that every possible tool that can be used to gain any advantage was gradually...

programmers..it's a totally different field..they got their own jobs and you will not compete with them directly. it's like karate guru sharing his knowledge with his students.. trading(stocks in particular) is completely different.COMPLETELY. i won't teach you anything regardless,simply...

me too

comments? sure... not going to work. partially cause of those HFT's fake orders a question to you: ok, you saw dis-balance-let's say 2:1. then what? long till what?

here is another fun part,(that will make IRS happy): http://en.allexperts.com/q/Tax-Planning-3256/2010/7/Tax-treatment-short-sale.htm

many times the obvious is not so obvious. many times i've seen oil moving in same direction as a dollar. go figure what i also notice today that such enormous move in stocks was made on shitty volume

pick any low volume,low price stock. like 2-5$, 30-50K avg. vol. something really slow. it should work on such stocks. nyse or nasdaq. note that in order to see that you have to place an actual order to buy or sell. i doubt that it was implemented on some particular stock, most likely it's...

well...that's the problem..cause we don't what the f**ck OP is talking about..stocks(which exchange???), bonds, or f**ing pork bellies..:confused:

LD-we can only guess,cause OP did not provide any details. time frame,frequency,type of security..dunno how to put in in English right(cause it's not my native language) but..when you come up with such vague question w\o any details-most likely you would receive similar responds

they won't be filled,if one would try to buy both their and my order. see one of scenarios above. they have ability(read-HFT,collocation,technical advantage,etc) to pull out their orders BEFORE someone's BUY order can even reach them. one more time-the whole idea is to make you think that there...

i personally feel that what i describe above is manipulation, nothing less. you can call it a bluffing or whatever, but it is what it is. and i've seen it every day. i'm talking about placing large order at your price without intention to receive a fill. the idea is pretty simple and i believe...

heh..you write the algo, you trade with IB, but you just realize that IB is not a TradeStation? :p then write another application to download historical data from IB (you are going to get what you paying for it) and then another application to backtest. meanwhile you can test whatever on IB's...

beside the stuffing there is a lot of pure BS is going on. you see 1000 shares at bid,staying there for minutes, no one else is out there.. you trying to sell 500-filled with 50 shares and bid moved lower (depends on liquidity and depth) by couple pennies or couple %. i said this many times...

i have no problem with expansion of anything,as long as it was controlled and regulated properly. and rules are roughly equal for all participants. right now even SEC themselves are admitting, that with so many trading venues-it is impossible for them to regulate anything. anything at all...

:confused: :eek: http://news.yahoo.com/obama-chance-something-big-calm-economy-151552379.html

are subpenny orders are allowed worldwide? or posting huge sizes without any intention to buy? or placing and canceling 50000 pointless orders per second..how about 80+ trading venues,where buyers and sellers can buy and sell shares, instead of one exchange? name some other countries who allow...

heh..sounds familiar..maybe he got some greek roots in top of irish? or it's just today's typical politician's behavior? Good article from Steve Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2011/0718/opinions-steve-forbes-fact-comment-greek-bell-tolls.html

very true..yields are pretty shitty and there is plenty of downside..buy mortgage reits then..you might have a bit better return,but it doesn't come risk free

for safe players-buy bonds, everybody else-short dollar,buy stocks,commodities. sort of japanese scenario with american twist..here we go again...been saying it for years.
