    15 of the world's most hated stocks--- ripe shorting opp or short killing squeeze?

    About 50% of that list are Chinese stocks - which doesn't surprise me one bit.

    What creates spikes?

    Too early. The market likes to do things more than once. You need to watch for the reaction a bit, then watch for the reaction to that reaction. IMO you should also have a DOM up around the same time. As far as thinking about it as a falling knife on that guy's ES play, classic case where lines...

    What creates spikes?

    Even if one immediately bought at the break of those levels I don't understand how they would even have come out with a loss unless they're using a ridiculously small stop loss.

    Futures&Index Arbitrage - free lunch??

    I think you're referring to dispersion trading - and nope, that's also going to be fuly automated away from retail.

    rent affordability will deteriorate over next two years, thank you again BUBBLE ben bernanke!!

    For most people without the appropriate level of down and good credit, then yes, they must rent. 20 years ago it was 1995 and in a lot of places there were most likely still reasonably affordable housing opportunities out there. Wages haven't kept up and we still haven't recovered post 2008...

    CBOT membership price

    Wow you're forced to purchase 40k shares? What an amazing requirement that I cannot see how anyone would think is reasonable. Is there any significant advantage of a corporate member vs a clearing member?

    The Break Even Stop is a Psychological Crutch for Newbies

    I don't set stops inside the noise. I do at times move stops to BE when they've moved outside the noise but haven't entirely completed the projected move yet. I feel that's a sane use of BE stops and not a crutch.

    Black Guy Arrested Cooperates With Police, They Thank Him

    Generally agreed. On the same token, the "right" does the exact same nonsense. Neither side is to be trusted.

    Black Guy Arrested Cooperates With Police, They Thank Him

    Wouldn't know - seeing as I'm not an ardent supporter or hater either way. If you would have gone deeper into what I actually said you would have seen that the implications are that this guy probably got off easy because of his class and notoriety and less due to his skin color. The skin color...

    Strawman. The only thing you even need to read here is this: Philadelphia Eagles player

    CL Redux

    Once I heard it was OPEC news related I immediately shorted knowing it was a knee-jerk impulsive move to spike up that hard.

    Poll: Do you believe DBPhoenix's writings can make you a profitable trader?

    I don't really think he's claiming these are *his* methods. It's not exactly rocket science to consider trends and AMT. Those alone won't necessarily make someone profitable - but they'll lead a step in the right direction if the trading style/mentality/theory is compatible with the trader.

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    Dude, I think you've been trading too much of the Asian and European session. I know how it is. However, I think your beef here is that you want the pragmatic realities of day to day trading balanced against the theory of AMT and how the latter cannot protect people from the gaming of the system...

    Virtu Celebrates Another Year Without a Single Day of Losses

    Parasites. But, but, they "add liquidity!" you say? Right, 98% of which is completely false/bogus. When the effective/pragmatic spread is 2-3 times what it appears to be, they're not reducing the spread - just gaming it. Front running is illegal.

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    I'm going to presume you have an engineering background and possibly presently employed in such a capacity. Just because you believe strongly in the quantitative side of things does not necessarily mean the qualitative side is invalidated and/or bogus. People aren't drawing lines and purely...

    Anyone find 4K monitor workable at 28"

    Best bet right now is to wait until the initial phase of this technology is worked out. Secondary effect will be that it's cheaper as well. The Dell 5k monitor looks good to me, but personally I'm waiting for a 30" variant with more resolution and a cheaper price. Still holding onto my 4yr old...

    Have you used dbphoenix's teachings to become a successful trader?

    As someone who trades CL everyday, and also uses TLs to help mark off supply/demand/channels of interest, I can say that a 6 month TL doesn't really mean much. More useful lines are in the 1 month and 15-30m charts.

    IB daily server reset affects TWS thru IB gateway & IB controller ?

    I keep TWS up all the time in a VM on my Mac on and a windows box when I'm using that (non-VM). The server resets occur for me almost always been 2100-2200PT or 0000-0100ET which is definitely in line with what they say. Personally I think unless they're doing upgrades there is no need for...
