    Did Interactive Active Brokers Honor CHF Stops Thursday ?

    Volpunter There is a big mistake in your reasoning. Obviously, you confound acts of God and financial failure. In terms of probability, it is impossible to predict a tsunami, earthquake, September 11 ... But a failure?! If you do your homework, of course! For example, you could easily predict...

    Did Interactive Active Brokers Honor CHF Stops Thursday ?

    Example of weak support. EURUSD in 2014. Support is tested 5, 6 times... Every rebound is weak Many occurrences with prices close to 1% ... This is weak because buyers are not enough strong to hurt sellers.

    Did Interactive Active Brokers Honor CHF Stops Thursday ?

    Mush This is really a good question. A strong support for me in a world without Peg? Horizontal, rounded number, tested 2 times, max 3 times, kiss kiss and good bye (V bottoms). You got generally one extreme price, and 1, 2 attempts to reach this extreme price (without success). To resume, a...

    Of course the tape tells the tale! That was true 100 years ago, this is still true today! Since November '14, EURCHF was attacked every week, just look at the graph from October to December.

    Is Apple Running Out of Steam? The Flash Crash was not wrong?

    Jesse, LTCM is a really good example! For the moment, we begin to ear that some brokers / hedge funds lost tons of money because of leverage, but we can only see the top of the iceberg! We can imagine like during russian crisis in 1998 a big fall of the S&P... And a bigger rebound with new...

    Is Apple Running Out of Steam? The Flash Crash was not wrong?

    Well what is the matter to get some ego? Trading is like pro sport No ego = no gain Ego pushes you to develop your skills and experience. Ego is why you want to be the best. But ok too much ego and arrogance= you will failed. It is a question of balance. In my case I dont care being right or...

    Is Apple Running Out of Steam? The Flash Crash was not wrong?

    Piezoe, interesting, you got some good arguments but some contradictions too. For example, you told being cautious when Barron's (or any newspapers by the way or Goldman Sachs) is really positive with a stock. Of course ! And don't you think Apple (or Tesla) is not "hype" and being in front of...

    Using the Yen as our thermometer for risk

    Sometimes Yen is pro risk-adversion, sometimes not ! In the second case, you know where you can put your thermometer ! :confused: But I agree, on a short-term basis, Yen could be a big winner and aversion could make a come back. Volatility is already back! See graph. Seems that we break...
