Maybe there are more factors involved in short lend rates. One possibility is insiders with stock grants or slowly vesting option grants that short to hedge so lend rate is worth the cost. I think TRXC 40s percent rate (I receive 20s) is caused by shorting from employee grants hedging and...

Great answers. I definitely need to do some Star Trek binge watching. If there is no arbitrage why isn't the YM 0 and NQ 10 million? I glanced at the 30 price (not market cap) weighted. DOW stocks and did not see a hint of anything unusual. If there are no explanations, there is no science.

March YM futures were down 0.7% or more during today's trading while the other stock index futures were down much less. Then at 4PM YMs pikes 120 points from 24980 to 25100 in a minute or less. I assume that there is at least some arbitrage between YM and ES. Does anyone know what is going on?

I think idea for new exchange is to make money by selling retail order flow. I ran into this interesting Chat with Traders interview with stock trader Dennis Dick on how to trade in a world of sold early access retail broker order flow.

There is only one alternative to ISRG in the robotic surgery market. It is TRXC (Tranenterix) that has the FDA approved Senhance robot. It will take a long time for any competitors other than ISRG and TRXC because the FDA will only approve surgical robots using the predominately similar to an...

This article is old and not right. It has been answered in this early 2017 long article from U of Chicago investment professors. how efficient are decentralized auction platforms? - Home.uchicago.edu Article you include are from a HFT participate who has a vested interest in continuing HFT that...

I think you might still be waiting for advice. Here is what to do. Open an account with Interactive Brokers for the IB minimum. I think way smaller than 25k. IB has seamless paper trading where you get $1 million paper account and a live margin account. Start by mostly paper trading. On...

The solution to HFT front running is frequent double blind batch auctions. See this interesting paper. Problem with current system is that say ES and SPY do not correlate in the 10 millisecond or so time world so HFTs benefit by attempting to un arbitrage correlation. Batch auctions return...

The method posted by djmartin back in 2017 that combines scalping with runners would have worked last week. I am too slow and rational to use it. I think it is a great method particularly in volatile markets. Here is the URL: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-mind-of-a-trader.292247/

I think there is a good chance stock market will open up tomorrow. Stock indices are up to only down 1/3 percent after 3AM EDT Europe open and IB is marking some of my long stocks using some low internal IB not shown bid not 4PM yesterday close. I think they are trying for some margin calls...

I think I am asking a different question. This thread is expressing a specific discretionary system that is something like. Assume markets are always range bound and fade extrema determined from one person's also discretionary chart reading. It obviously hasn't worked. Is there someway of...

I do not think yc47ib is paper trading. He or she writes "But so far all are paper loss, until I surrender." yc47ib is saying that losses are unrealized until position is closed. I think poster is not a native English speaker. yc47ib started the thread by saying he used two $100k accounts...

I think yc47ib uses two accounts. He will hedge by trading the opposite direction is the other account. I find his posts very useful because his levels have been pretty good. I use his posts to see if I can come up with better trades. His hedging is locking in a loss that he will make back...

What is the answer to your question? Today market was very weak, but both ES and RTY recovered more than half of the distance between the open and low point.

I am going to try the 14 day free trial when I have some free time. I found the interview with short seller Marc Cohodes very interesting. He is a terrible person trying to harm capital formation that he justifies with delusions. He lives in Napa CA and I think is supported and encouraged by...

Even worse I think the whole point to Musk's refusing the SEC settlement last week then accepting it over the weekend was to cause shorts who held their position to lose money. I think $420 buyout with financing in place tweet had the same motivation. TSLA's problem is that it needs to raise...

This thread has been helpful possibly because your method of constantly adjusting buy and sell points keeps me from making stupid trades. I worry about correlations of your futures. The US Iran sanctions are going to remove 1 million or more barrels per day off the market so shorting crude...

Is your GCLX8 the same as US (IB) CLX8 WTI crude? Only time CLX8 hit 71.14 was at 6PM EDT Sunday night? When I search for GCLX8 I get Louisana liquid natural gas (LNG).

I do not trade extremely volatile stocks that have a day range of 100% (high 9.99 low 5.70 RTH - hit 5.32 after hours). If Mnewton had waited a minute or 2 more, share price was back to 8.50 so trade would have been break even. A slight loss of concentration would have resulted in large loss...

A A much more reliable trade would have been to buy around 5.8 around 10.55 for about the same profit when NBEV price bounced off previous day low if you are into that sort of crap shoot.
