    Midnight rally

    Did anyone see today how the hedges dumped oil {profit taking} to have liquidity to start shorting the market today----------very interesting how the "Institutions vs. Hedge Funds" game is playing out the past several days. The large institutional players are really throwing out some volume to...

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    Cable----------- UPI reported the story on the backpack radiological device---------- http://about.upi.com/ as did others. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591022525/qid=1121389287/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-7222046-8631964...

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    Russel has lead the way up and the Russel seemed to arch and rollover down ahead of the Dow today. Interesting set-up for tomorrows trading indeed. Tomorrows news could be our catalyst for a possible profit taking day.

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    Sad how very important under-reported information is so unknown to many--------- I guess parts of the US media do not like to talk about some of the worlds realities. This is only part of the story-------------- October 26, 2001 4:55 AM ET RICHARD SALE UPI Terrorism Correspondent United...

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    After hearing about the various government agency testimonies about al-qaeda's 20 very small nuclear weapons already here in the US, I would not be surprised by anything any more in this world. Osama's plan to take out 20 American cities all at the same time and kill 4 million {1/2 children...

    Will this continue to work?

    Linear automated or mechanical systems can work great for periods of time like 1 to 3 years---------then they usually hit a breakdown. Non-linear systems can last indefinitely as many institutions are trading methods that have not really changed in 30 to 40 years---------they have just become...

    Oil Froth Anyone.......

    Long oil on pullbacks {used to be able to buy in the 42 to 46 range-----not anymore} has been one of the best plays of the year in my opinion. I will start buying again if we even get to $50 a barrel until there is some actual period of reported slow down of growth in China, the US, and India...

    High Frequency Trading - Hype or Substance?

    ForrestGump---------- Yes this has been around for some time, and I know of many places where it is being done on a scale that I am no where near yet. I can't wait to pay those levels of commissions!

    High Frequency Trading - Hype or Substance?

    Sam--------- A net position {if you picked the right direction that day----IF!} will rarely on a daily basis beat a system that literally profits from almost every single gyration of price movement during that day. There is more potential POINTS of profit stored in every single candlestick and...

    High Frequency Trading - Hype or Substance?

    LMeyers----------------- I will VERY VERY gladly pay truckloads of commissions because every time I complete a round turn it is at a 1 point or better profit return---------------the MORE commissions I am paying is the requirement to accumulate additional profits. As the system has grown {more...

    High Frequency Trading - Hype or Substance?

    ssternlight----------- Today both my short and long side made booked profits, but what was todays direction------ a little down, some sideways, a nice move up, a little down. My system picks the direction of the market on a macro basis by the ratio----------the higher the daily price levels the...

    Automated Scalping System

    C++ with xtrader api is what I would recommend. xtrader has t&s data and of course price data so no chart data needed. This is as fast as you can get--------------TS would never be able to handle the speed that xtrader could for passing off orders when price is moving fast. Find out what...

    High Frequency Trading - Hype or Substance?

    Loosenup--------------- First off, the system does not need to do anything special on trend days and that is very important or this system would have a big weakness in my opinion. If you have a big price swing like Thursday then sure I will try to take advantage off this, but I do not need to...

    Tick charts for the es

    Good points------------ today I observed realtime that a 288 tick chart for my new es LR line system worked very good. I will watch various settings close to this number of ticks to see if the results continue for a few weeks. I did notice that the LR line movements were smoothed out somewhat...
