I still say look around. Building everywhere. Lots of jobs. Paint, roof, brick, whatever... What happens when they go away. Technology - like in India or somewhere - more Facebook for everyone. I have an inside joke. Apple XI will be asshole recognition. You can change a face with...

There is a lot of wisdom in the responds to this thread. I did not read everyone one but I liked cartmm and jinxu. Secret - Here is something that is not mentioned enough. Trading is very solidary and boring. Usually most of the action happens over a 10-30 min interval. Also to tell other...

Sorry. Not sure where you live. I live in a big city. Building is out of sight. Can not last. Even the building now is overdone. When the building stops - the economy will stop. What do you offer besides building as the economic stimulus?

Again - why are you telling us all about your amazing system? Anyone with a winning system would have retired over the last few weeks. Secret - backtesting is a fluke. Again ceterius paribus. You have to assume that the people trading back then are the same people that are trading now...

When the whip comes down. Not sure how it is in your area, but where I am there is big time building everywhere, everywhere. Construction to the max. This will not last much longer. Interest rates will start to come up and ability to buy homes and other real estate projects will decline...

Anyone who is talking about skewed vs. bi-modal is way over my head. I don't do enough volume for me to even consider that. I trade options. This is what I know. Pick one or two entities that you like for whatever reason and learn how they work. Stay with what you know. Going all over...

I agree with Lawrence-Lugar - "4% is tiny." If you know what you are doing go for it. I hear all these people - "I only risk 1% of my captial?" Sounds like something my Mother might do. Truth - not sure why you are telling us about your system and then leaving out all the important...

A fundamental of market analysis is ceteris paribus. If something changes you have to account for it. Your question is just an example of the many questions on this forum that do not fully address how you trade and what you are using the information for. With more detail you can expect a more...

Most here are right - it is what it is. Things happen. I was just curious. I was interested in the mechanics of running the book. To my knowledge all of the Flashes are to the down side. There seems that there would be a lot of market orders instead of limit orders which I would think...

SunTrader - I do not follow - "But btw S&P 500 equities composite sell vs buy volume yesterday -99.21%. All I need to "know". Should it equal 100%? That is the significance?

I know there and bots and high frequency trading and ... but all that has to be tied to actual accounts. Every time this happens it is stated that no one knows what happened. Not true. There has to be an audit trail that you can follow.

Here is the article - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-05/machines-had-their-fingerprints-all-over-a-dow-rout-for-the-ages How can you not trace back the trades? There has to be an audit trail. Money is moving out of and into accounts. If anyone has more detailed data on the...

Margin calls - I am talking about stocks in general. If others get margin calls and then liquidate to cover margin call then that stock goes down. If you have an option on that stock it goes down.

March?? Sept.?? I am an options trader. I am doing this up coming week. Why? Vol and bid/ask spread. Have no idea on how to do +3 months out.

I am an options swing trader. I do not have $9,800 in the game at the moment but I am there. I went in a bit early on Friday but whatever. Still saying my stock, I actually do not do indexes now, will be up by 10:30 AM. If Asia was a precursor we would all be rich. Again - The big money...

I am looking at the Bloomberg Dow mini. Many times it has been down and then on the open within mins. the index is positive. Right now it is down 187. Will it be down 187 on Monday. I doubt it. 1. What is your call on DOW for Monday by 10:30 AM 2. My call is + 250

OK - I did not know about the pre opening data. But based on that, could you predict a 665 Dow decline? I have often seen futures down meaning nothing. Still trying to find out if anyone knows who was selling and who was buying. Sometimes you can tell by volume. However, I know now that on...

OK. You are correct. It takes 10 doubles to be a mil. Shot me in the head or something. If you making it to $512 off of $1 you are doing well. I do not understand the offensive of using Ayn Rand. FYI - There are many on the board who do not know who AR is.

LL - I agree with you. We are conditioned to respond to these numbers. But still they are there. More importantly is that if you agree or suspect that there are groups working the market that have done so for long periods of time - perhaps even centuries. Whatever - enjoy the ride and make...

666 is the Mark of Beast and I have no idea why this would play out as it has. Very strange. To note - No matter what we think we know, there are groups working the market that we have no idea about (their advantage is that they have been doing this for a long time.) Why they might find it...
