    Federal Reserve in stealth intervention mode...

    All time highs, cash market liquidity, undercurrents of problems... I was visiting the NY trading floor of my then employer, in July 2007. Everyone was obsessed with their brand new first gen iPhones - amazing devices that had only recently hit the streets, no one had seen anything like it...

    Most Useful S/R Lines for Intraday Trading Levels??

    I enjoyed thinking about your points. But to be honest, I would have hit H[1] and L[1] like a red headed step son. If I saw price react to them like in that chart. :) ps, your open +5 blue line shows nice roll reversal S -> R. And 171.55

    Lime Brokerage fined $625k by FINRA

    In first year Econometrics, I wrote part of a proof with pencil on a clear ruler. Only visible when placed on white paper.

    Most Useful S/R Lines for Intraday Trading Levels??

    Suspect we are talking about the same thing. I doubt there is anything novel in what I said. Just maybe my tangled wording. Example chart coming when I am at my trading desk next. :) Also for the OP, check out the commercial course offered by "My Trading Coach." It might answer some of your...

    Most Useful S/R Lines for Intraday Trading Levels??

    Good post. You can tell a level matters just by watching and feeling the DOM as price approaches that level. It is the only pulse that the market has. Nearly everyone is there to make money from movement, they have to look at something to do that. And it is not a making secret formula. You can...

    The Right Attitude for Success

    There is great power in the simple "One Good Trade" notion from that well know book. Day trading, I have been down numerous days and turned it around. Sometimes after being nicely up after the opening round. Then all the way back down. That is NOT the time to stop for the day. It resolves the...

    150 millionaires say getting rich boils down to a 3-step formula

    The biggest gain I never made probably came as a result of being negative about that advice when I was given it 25 years ago. And at the time I was very focused on building a stake to fund my "algo" trading, rather than saving for a home deposit. Wasn't called algo then. Yah, I chose the...

    150 millionaires say getting rich boils down to a 3-step formula

    Should always be net of the median value of a home in the area you need to live in per your family/job/life. We all start life short one house. Own one without debt, we square. Own two without debt, we are long one. The number one benefit of some wealth is not being burdened with unproductive...

    Twitter as a news squawk, minus the Twitter

    @tEconomics fastest, at least for some recent NZ data. Placed next to a random and meaningless chart. I really like the slim no-distractions feed format. The fastest provider is at the bottom of the feed as obviously new news scrolls in from the top.

    Twitter as a news squawk, minus the Twitter

    Thanks! I didn't know. They are not active in my time zone so I never see anything from them anyway.

    Difference between newbie struggling trader vs successful trader

    Prediction. There is more than one way to skin the trading cat, but for some of us, this is a great quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHawmZbapjU&feature=youtu.be&t=117 I heard this guy's nickname every day at work a couple years before this was filmed.

    Best Amp Futures Platform?

    Actually, maybe not quite "before the dawn of internet." Stood on a futures trading floor for the first time in '97 or so. Never actually worked on one, traded by phone to the floor. And interbank FX via dirty brokers.

    Twitter as a news squawk, minus the Twitter

    I'm new to using Twitter as a free news feed squawk tool. Here is what I set up. Anyone got any other no-fluff fast breaking news handles to follow? I mean to-the-point data and Px sensitive headlines, no BS opinion. No sales. My objective: use Twitter feed with no other Twitter or internet...

    Best Amp Futures Platform?

    fkna. They should just charge more for the platform, and solve their problems. This data thing is scaring people. Concerns - recent intense rudeness and emotional outbursts are not professional, prudent, or indicative of ongoing reliability. And... who are they? There is literally no info at...

    Best Amp Futures Platform?

    Of all available at AMP, Sierra can do nearly everything you don't even know you want to do yet. It is a very deep rabbit hole that can not be judged from the surface. But you have to invest yourself in it. Not a simple start. And... management seem to be having a bit of an emotional moment of...

    Market Footprint

    I might add... Interaction between buyers and sellers... as price changes are accepted or rejected over time. I have to say that I find certain attributes of historical volume character to be helpful in managing the unfolding acceptance or rejection of price changes. But I think footprint et...

    Market Footprint

    Resting oder book volume imbalances are not reflected in the footprint. The footprint is simply a cummulative tape of bid/offer transactions at each price level. It is not magic. It simply replaced human memory of the recent past. As for Delta, it is again based on transacted data, so it...
