That makes more sense than saying the 6E volume isn't "true".

So the entity which is executing the algo is taking both sides of the trade to make the volume seem to be elevated? Not sure how that's going to make anyone any money, but maybe I'm missing something. I don't think that deploying an algo with the sole purpose of "messing up" someone else's...

Can you explain this sentence?

That's pretty good and I was able to grab data back to early 2010. Know of anything that goes back even further? I'd like back to the start of 2003. Thanks for the link, though, regardless.

I know that these typically come out on Wednesday and Thursday, but what I'm looking for is a data source that can tell me when there were exceptions, either day of the week or time of day, to this. I tried the EIA, but they only keep the info going back one year, for whatever reason.

I agree that in the absence of automation, the likelihood of two traders getting the same results is near zero, even with the same strategy. Which is why I think that any strategy which can be automated, should be. If you are able to develop a set of rules which have positive expectancy, you...

But does Martingale money management imply anything about entries? Sure, you keep entering, but where? I don't know if someone has posted anything specific enough to be useable is my point. Then again, I am not in the market for a strategy, so I might not be paying enough attention. There...

Has anyone ever really posted a strategy specific enough to be useful?

I don't have any opinion of myself, really. I just show up and let others form an opinion of me by my words and actions. Once I get my trading fully automated, I could retire, too and at a younger age than you did. I won't, because I enjoy my work. If I suddenly found myself living your...

Not afraid, just sure it would be a waste of time. We already had this exchange. Rather than posting links to youtube videos, you should be out demanding that the world recognize your brilliance by showering you with the good things in life. I'm sure Harvard is just itching to have another...

No. For example, I don't care what you think, I just want to rub my superior credentials in your face. There's a world of difference between thinking you are smart and having people give you things like scholarships and jobs because you are smart and those people want the benefit of those...

No, it's just pearls before swine. Still waiting on just what social proof you have of your brilliance.

Not afraid, just sure it will be a waste of time. And you didn't answer my question. What's the objective proof that you're smarter and done more thinking than me? You seem pretty sure of it, so let's hear your proof. These things aren't all subjective. If you are so smart, surely society has...

I can accept unpleasant conclusions. I can't accept stupid conclusions argued from false premises. I'm leaning toward your link being an example of the latter.

I'll take your word for it, but I'm not clicking that link.

"Education" won't do any such thing if the teacher's unions have anything to say about it. On the plus side, these people WILL know how to put a condom on a banana.

In a situation like that, I could say at what price you "should" get short, but if the stock gaps beyond that price and never recovers to reach it, there's little point in taking the trade or you'd want to take it in a smaller than usual size because you'd have greater risk on the entry. Big...

I'd have to have 1-minute data to be sure, but given the way my algorithm works, as these stocks dropped (assuming they didn't gap down), I would have gotten short. The way I read "the tape" is that every rise eventually becomes a shorting opportunity and every fall eventually becomes an...

Oh, come on. I have no idea if you are a real trader or not, but anyone who's ever put their capital out at-risk and lost it, definitely knows what it's like to "lose" income, so the obverse of that is clearly "earning" income. The only way an individual could have "unearned" income is...

Did you see this from a big Obama supporter? The first minute and a half is all "yadda yadda yadda, I'll gladly pay higher taxes" and then the reporter tells him about the 75% number. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDaQXpgItKo
