Just canvassing

P.S. A good automated solution to this would help me. As things stand, I have just accepted my automated strategy will take a beating occasionally when breaking news occurs during overnight session. Only thing I'm putting in place is to kill the algo when it's lost too much money for me to...

I hear you. My belief is that unless you can invest several thousand $/year on a tip-top news service (i.e. BBG or Reuters), then whatever news service you are using will activate the "algo kill switch" after the damage is done. If you are baby sitting the algo then maybe you could get a...

I cannot answer with regards API. But I do know about trading news. Quite fascinated by it. Here's one of many private youtube videos I have in my collection - for self-education, the very occasional share, and just for the sake of historical records...

Appreciate all the input on this topic. @ Gara It seems I lack the intelligence to formulate a winning strategy with a 100 to 1 ratio. My primary focus is on the sudden and apparently random bursts of volume + price spikes that occur on many/all(?) markets. Since I have no way of knowing...

Market participants designated by CME Group as Market Makers or enrolled in other Exchange programs designed to promote liquidity may be exempt from the Program or subject to Product Group Benchmarks that differ from the standard Product Group Benchmarks. (ed: The "Program" referred to, being...

Just got off the phone with my broker. Well, he's been in the business for 40 years and use to trade in the pits, I don't think he has as much detailed knowledge about this as some of the posters here do, but he has offered to call CME and discuss (Something I can and may do myself). More...

agreed 100%

Hi, I have devised an automated strategy but it requires that my bids and offers are constantly modified. I guess you could call it some sort of niche market making. In an ideal world, I would probably clock up 100,000 messages to CME during RTH, but 10 or 20,000 would be acceptable. I...

Hi, So it has been claimed to me that it is theoretically possible for someone to be ahead of me in the queue, even if my limit order is positioned at a superior price. "It is possible several lots were traded at and below your limit price, but if your order was not in front of these...

Well after further research I can basically answer my own question. And I will do so here, for benefit of anyone who is interested... My sources indicate that Bloomberg never sell their news to 3rd parties. And Reuters no longer sell their "proper breaking" news to 3rd parties. The...

It seems no one has any information to share on this. But I would like to update this thread and bump it up the page one last time. Since I created this thread, I signed up to the Interactive Brokers Research Platform - with Dow Jones Global Markets NewsWire. The price is something like...

Hi there, I wonder if some ET members with deep knowledge in this area could assist me? Struggling to phrase this question effectively though... *Bloomberg + Reuters terminals have a huge range of useful features, including a real time news feed (Not just scheduled data releases of...

Oh hai? Does anyone have a strong opinion on this? I have been developing an intense focus on the price ladder, with charts/profile by my side as support tools. I'm scalping FESX, typically taking winners and losers of 1/2/3 ticks, with a few outliers (good and bad) 4/5/6/7. A big...

Oh hai? If you trade FESX I'm sure you've noticed a guy/algo/guys/algos hitting or lifting the market like a machine gun, repeatedly firing 1 lots. Any opinions on what this is all about. Someone trading with himself? Someone trying to encourage everyone else to trade in the direction of...

doublechin, I didn't know that about the horse! There was a recent example of opportunity during Mario's ECB speech. I seem to recall, in the opening couple of lines, he said something about inflation expected to remain around 2%... "HOWEVER...". That was the first word which differed from...

Hi, I don't do this, nor do I intend to. But I'm interested to know if anyone around here does. Every week there are a good dozen or so fairly significant speaker events. Most of the time they don't cause significant market movement, in my experience, but occasionally you'll see the market...

Wingz, I do my best to avoid trading forums these days, but I can't quite resist when I see a thread title that intruiges me - as this one did. Kudos on the thread so far, I enjoyed reading it from page 1, these last 20 minutes. The story you've told bears striking similarity to my own. I...
