    technical analysis

    Technicals are just the raw data. Tick data, volume, range, DOM/displayed liquidity, etc. I would also add: short interest, borrow rate, and option data. Pretty much everything you get from an exchange. No need for charts, better to be precise and measure on python or excel. With the data you...

    If you don’t have a strong opinion then that implies you have little confidence in your system, which begs the question of why you would use it in the first place. :rolleyes:

    "Axe" Example in the Bond Markets?

    It’s not having an “axe to grind” lol it’s having an “axe in the name”. It means you have a position. As MW said if you’re long then you’ll take under mid to sell, if you’re short you’ll take over. Traders aren’t taking on delta risks, so they need to constantly hedge out delta. That’s...

    "Axe" Example in the Bond Markets?

    Axe just means you’re better to buy or better to sell.. at a bank, the trader will run his risk in the morning and see what he needs to buy/sell given the composition of the trades he’s made (remember a bank trader is providing a service to the buy side). Once he knows what he needs to do he...

    Retail trader’s invisible fight with market markers

    The guy is a total joke, please don't be so gullible lol. He says on the video that he worked at a penny stock bucket shop selling to flow induced by stock promoters. That is not a "market making" role and does not require any analytical ability other than pressing a sell button. Calling him a...
