Also anecdotal, friends get medication and insurance they wouldn't otherwise have. We should also ask whoever might lose insurance in case of a repeal. Subsidies and taxes aside, you guys don't like the pre-existing conditions and Under-26 rule?

Psychologically, one seems more confident. Words are just words, but as we all know, they do move people.

Given this easy knowledge, couldn't a smarter firm make money off the stop gunners? Given this knowledge, wouldn't stop hunting's edge be arb'd away?

I don't buy any of the tin-foil hat conspiracies. At least, none that can be conceptualized easily enough. If each and every big player wants their own slice of the pie, how profitable is moving the market, effectively risking exposure, in order to grab it? I think we forget that such...

I had a Robinhood account with daytrading abilities since around Brexit. I lost money on the gap down after and lost money holding a short position right afterwards. Since then, I've lost about 25% of my portfolio attempting get rick quick schemes with equities, futures, and forex. Suffice it...

What would these three provide over the Value Bundle described above? is there volume information that won't be included in the Value Bundle? When a non-real-time site such as Yahoo lists Volume for a given day, where is it sourcing this information from? All of them in aggregate? Does each...

I'm currently using IB. They have a "US Value Bundle" data subscription: "A BBO alternative that will deliver aggregated quote, trade, volume, and optional depth information for all four US equity exchange books operated by BATS (BATS, BYX, EDGX, EDGEA). Includes Dow Jones Industrial Average and...

I'm just unclear on what the functional difference is between what OP is manually doing (buying one, selling another) and a spread.

Like Mav said, gotta get market specific. VIX contracts behave very differently than OJ or ES, etc...

Is a spread somehow cheaper than doing it manually?

Isn't a spread also buying and selling a contract?

Some digging into the sources finds Tancredo's article inconclusive, at best. http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/aug/17/tom-tancredo/tancredo-muffs-illegal-immigrant-murder-stats/

How most good areas fail? How do the other good areas fail? How much is most? Point being, you can construct a worst-case scenario for every setup, but that isn't constructive until taking all possibilities and their probability relative to each other, no? Problem becomes Bayesian, in a way...

Like, I said, it's just massaging it in. It won't leave with a tiny position, you're going to be all-in regardless. If you see it speeding up, you finish out the entry quicker. Either way, you're all-in, but your entry may be a little better (or, yes, worse), if your timing is off. But I...

I think very tight scaling in, so tight that it's practically all-in, can be useful for "massaging" an entry. I.e. if you know it's around support, you buy in a little, and keep buying in until you're at your "all-in" while the signal still holds.

Indeed, it's inconclusive without more information. I don't think there's much of a comparison; the answer devolves into how much should you risk, which depends on how certain you are, and what you have to lose!

Would love to pick your brains about this, then. People generally advocate longer timeframes; is this not because more trades happen over a greater period of time? Isn't high-volume indicative of "consensus" on the "right" price? Shorter timeframes have such small volumes that pricing may be...

If the charts were an endless stream of data and you had no concept of time, there's nothing saying you shouldn't take a good setup. There's nothing saying you have to categorize "today"s trades as a category. There's nothing saying the last trade should have anything to do with the next. If...

Sure, I've seen a variety of price action under different volume conditions. I would like to know the full qualification of your idea though; volume has no meaning? Or volume doesn't have meaning at certain scales? You see no value in constant volume bars? Or any data volume at all? I'm not...

Also, this question was mostly a corollary to the main question of relative importance of volume information
