Trading indices and ETFs can be more risky than individual stocks. Say an ETF has an underlying problem, it could be halted and crashes to near zero on resumption. Theoretically, ETFs track some kind of index so moves with it. In reality, the ETF can crash to zero (incur some kind of margin...

I'm not into Star Wars, but there is such a thing as the Rule of Two in that universe. I have experienced this in real life. I had won big buying a particular stock setup. The next year, I won big again using the exact same setup. After that, the setup never appeared again... In China...

[Tinfoil hat ON] But GE is just one stock. Timing a closing price of 666 on an Index means broader scope of "market manipulation". To manipulate each of the 500 companies comprising the index for the very last second closing price precision means using probably a supercomputer... [Tinfoil...

BTW, in the West 666 is a symbol of diabolism, but in the East, 6 is a lucky number. So 666 means triply lucky. (Might explain why S&P500 took off after crashing to 666 in Q1 2009). BUT, this time we have a modifier present (a 3). Anybody into Eastern numerology, is 3 a lucky or unlucky number?

Last time S&P500 hit 666 was the EXACT bottom of the financial crisis in Q1 2009. Here we are again at 3(666). Place your bet!

One thing I've been noticing... Markets usually rally going into a public holiday. Then sell off on the first trading day thereafter. Theoretically speaking, this is market manipulation to boost public morale and decrease crime rates. Imagine if the market sold off going into a major public...

Guys, what I'm trying to say is... Say your candlestick body is 5 pixels wide. Then on an LCD monitor it would look like ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| (||| = 1 RGB pixel). That looks really terrible like the chart is too perfect. If you focus for a long time on the chart, your eyes can't/doesn't...

No seriously, coz each subpixel on a LCD monitor are parallel RGB stripes instead of round dots charts look really jarring to me. I really wished we were back in 1999/early 2000's so stock charts look soft and nice to my eyes... So, nobody's ever done this? Attempt to apply a filter to a...

Problem: Charts look like arse on LCD monitors (edges are too clean). Ppl have compared gaming graphics on CRT monitors vs LCD, CRT is clearly superior: (Image above: Left CRT monitor, right LCD monitor) It's the subpixels of LCD monitors that makes stock charts appear so bad on modern...

Seems Nasdaqtraded.txt includes AMEX stocks whereas Nasdaqlisted.txt omits them. The former was what I was looking for...

Groovy. I never knew Nasdaq had an ftp... (Oops it seems not official Nasdaq site but usable nevertheless). BTW, what's the difference between Nasdaqlisted.txt and Nasdaqtraded.txt? Seems the latter is larger in file size.

Nasdaq is retiring their old website. The old website had a section where you could download a list of all stock symbols in .csv format in one go. Their new website doesn't have this function, or maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Is there another place where I can download the...
