Good luck with all that theory :-)... here's an eye-opener: The Rise and Fall of the Great Empires, Paul Kennedy

Or use a broker that splits across exchanges / has access to dark-pools :D

I used to scalp ATVI (at the time, avg vol > 14M/day) with 10k or 20k share lots... 95% of the time, I would get fills through my broker within 5 seconds, regardless of time of day or background activity... however, I would occasionally run into periods (of reasonable volume) where it would take...

Well, I'm not terribly interested in comparing with gold... nobody uses gold as a real currency of exchange in business... the dollar is lingua franca for the moment... besides the value of gold can be much more buggy and speculative than the dollar. Let's use real numbers for $SPY and...

Perhaps a dumb question, but I specialize in those... When we see $SPX at 1148, is that number already normalized for the value of the dollar at that moment? In other words on two different days (day1: DX == 95.00, day2: DX == 80.00) if $SPX is 1148 on both days, is the market value truly...

Weapons require people (read: salaries), imports, oil, and maintenance... As long as the world keeps letting us roll our balances from one credit card to another that's fine... when the money runs out, our pants are down. I think we're borrowing something like $0.42 for every dollar spent.

Speaking for myself... Suppose you have disk drive issues, or a network problem... these events can and will disrupt your trading... but disk drive problems don't come with their own timestamps... you have to rely on information in syslog... so if you see data gaps on your charts, you can check...

I see no small coincidence that they scheduled POMO until the mid-term elections... :D

Which time sync application are you running? Is the computer windows, linux, bsd, or ??? Were you trying them one at a time or all at once? Is there a firewall between you and the internet? PM me with the details, I don't want to hijack the OP's thread.

Cover 37.25

Short 42.75 Stop Cover 44.75 :-)

Sell @ 41

Long 39 Stop 37

correcting typo: 5/14, but that's a fairly old gap, isn't it?

But in my opinion, you're talking like an investor, not a trader. Short-term, the market wants to go up when he drops money on it.

I wouldn't underestimate the power of uncle Ben... he's dropping cash on the market today

NQ fell off the cliff this morning. I'm not sure why but it went from 2016 to ~1991 in 30 minutes, and that was before the bad consumer confidence numbers at 10 ET.

I'm curious how you are generating the signals... price-volume analysis, momentum, fibs???

Substantiating Pekelo's observation... take a look at SPY volume today... and a considerable amount of the visible part of the volume stick was in the last hour of RTH...

Ok, I'll have to watch those for a while. I checked out DXZ10 after your comment and it seems to lag movements on ESZ10 so far. Your note implied that declining dollar value has been a leading driver, and perhaps its the calculations going into DX that would make it lag a bit.
