Now that your thread has some traction.... What Sprout said about the obfuscation factor is so true. Not only does one design the Algo to produce orders that hide intention, they also create false positives. Think of what you see as waves on the water of Puget sound, but the real influence...

How Order Book charts and T/S are presented can vary with the implementation. Which software or interface are you referring to? Without knowing what system you are on, it sounds like you are seeing fills on one side of the bid or ask, which is a common occurrence, orders hitting the bid or...

He does not understand what the word "proof" means. He thinks ONE instance of something is proof. The most rudimentary reasoning error, existential universalization. A 6th grader knows this intuitively. OP consider: How one uses their words correlates to their intelligence, integrity, and...

Trails like that are sub-optimal because they are based on the PL and not the market action. Insert a market action evaluation before the PL-based order, e.g. the stop. Only place the order, stop or target, when the market action call for an order. Once the market action calls for an order...

Bought 500 Unity (U) @ 22.16. Will look for the recovery pop. The 22 area seems to be holding.

One should automate notification of these type of news events.

Oh yeah, as if people in retail actually trade against each other. I am looking at code, to trade in the 21st century, you are looking a YouTube like a 21st century digital serf. Go ahead and masturbate around with 1960s trading concepts and post away. Ignore ON.

This is the same type of esoteric "math brain" stuff as saying I made 1000%, but started with 1 cent. Sure it is true, but irrelevant. A bit like Xeon's paradox about walking 1/2 the way to the wall you will never reach it. Trading is about logistics, practicalities and execution. The...

Now is when I would take the short. 1/4 here and 1/4 at the ATH. I world expect another mini wave down from here BEFORE we resume up. Things need to take a break IMO

You go man! I would wait for it to top out and then make a decision on the way down. 3 scenarios I see for a successful short. From best to worse, IMHO. 1) Tries for a new high, and fails, short away there and stop at new high plus some 2) Fails somewhere between here and the High. If...

Weekend update. IRDM looks like it will recover soon. Maybe more "satellite" company consolidation will occur, and it is in play. Exit target is 37.50. The 200 MA test and a measured second wave. RPTX seems to have bottomed for now. HOOD: Low volume consolidation. If it tests...

Bought 500 SBUX @73.50 as a replacement for PINS.

PINS (1000@35.54) Sold After hours at 39.53. Crappy entry for a long term hold. Was underwater for most of the holding time.

Bought 2000 RPTX @ 3.33 now at 90% full allocation. Will continue to hold the losers and wait for the entire market to turn. Since the allocations are all manageable, there is no need to sell.

ROLF. Yes it moves in measurable cycles, until it does not. EW does not have some magic golden ratio, fractal possession over the markets. It is your confirmation bias and lack of actual experience using it for live trading that makes it look interesting. But if you want to try and...

Entries are optional. Exits are mandatory. Other than that, it is pulling on two sides of a rope over the "moat of opportunity costs". Is that metaphoric enough?:D

When you are an accredited investor, you get offered a lot of these things. Stay away. The whole "risk adjusted" great returns are a red herring. No matter how well it does they will ALWAYS clip it and give you just enough. These things are seriously opaque.* When it does badly, they bail...

I got a cheap Amazon programable key set with 6 keys. Then I went to hook up some macros. In order to get the driver you had to download it from a Chinese server. Then once you installed it, it insisted it had to be CONNECTED to the server! Of course that was a NO GO. I left these notes on...

Extremely incomplete plan. And now lost into the weeds on option protection, for scalping day trading no less. I suggest you actually try to implement the plan for 1 week on paper. You will find that only 1/40 of the details are addressed. Even when you fill in the rest, there is no actual...

I can add one cent. When I looked at in the Optimus white labeled, Optimus Flow, I checked it out briefly. The thing they tout is the "end of auction" imbalance. I was skeptical since the "end" can be arbitrary, so hence the "imbalance" is arbitrary. What I found was the reliability was...
