That's pretty shady. I hope that somehow falls under insider trading...

I personally always use marketable limit orders. What this means is I enter a limit above the best offer. Market orders are like writing a blank check. Never know when what you see in the book might disappear between you clicking and it getting to the exchange.

See an article here in Canada where the regulators are looking into these ICO's. They basically are avoiding all the compliances required by doing a traditional IPO and being a listed company.

A market maker is required to provide a price for the bid and a price for the ask. He doesn't have to be top of queue. He could by chance be the best bid but be 6th best price on the ask. Nothing says your order had to be bought by a market maker, the best offer could be a retail trader with a...

SPY would work but if your trading ES and looking for diversity then it's a dud. You'd be better off just doubling your ES position. I'd also make sure you have a broker that fits your needs for commissions. I personally swing trade but 10 cent moves aren't much to myself in stocks. If your...

Just do what I use to do with iqfeed and amibroker for Canadian stocks. I'd use notebook++ and add the suffixes to all with the add to beginning/ add to end tools. Think you could even do it with excel. Think theirs some functions to add/change in cells. I usually had to add C. To all...

This isn't a twitter board

It's values should never change. It's calculated off previous "X number" of bars closes. If for some reason previous bars values are being changed,updated or corrected the calculations will change. Sure your not just seeing the scale of the macd changing on the chart and not it's actual values.

Usually when it seems to good to be true I re evaluate my code and theirs usually something obvious like a look ahead bias.

For rebalancing daily maybe simulating balancing on the close or the open of the next day. To do what you ask you'd need Tick data with bid and ask so you could average the difference. Don't think you'd get much out of it. Best way would backrest with close or open then live test and compare...

Theirs a general idea that when new traders think theirs easy money to be made that the bubble will burst. Most recent example would be Chinese stock market. Everyone and their dog started investing because all you had to do was buy and hold for a bit and you'd make money. The dotcom bubble...

Must be ways around it, I know Amibroker had a patch out pretty quick for amiquote(tool used to access a few free sources of data) and it works same as it did before with the software.

Don't quote this but most indexes are weighted by market capitalization. For instance apple is 15% of the Nasdaq 100. The index itself tracks the underlying, when you get into etf's and futures the markets will price in future dividends as well.

Without remembering the poster who posted time and sales, he didn't fill above the bid, he was the best offer. Looks like it was put in as a limit of 8.45 and several buyers/buyer poked st it in small chunks to eat it up. The few 99/101 buy lots would make me think it's some sort of automated...

I believe big money moves a market. I don't have to be smarter then them, I just have to be on the same side, whatever their goal or sentiment is.

Title kind of confusing. Exhanged don't make money, market makers do

Wish I had this issue. On east coast of Canada is almost think prices are going down. Lack of industry has drove everyone to Alberta oil country. Which isn't doing so good either. BC has always been expensive. It has the the mildest winters, some of the most beautiful wilderness and ocean...

Wonder how that happened. In Canada if you put down less then 20 percent on a house you have to pay a Fee to CHMC which is a government agency that insures the mortgages. The fee is a percentage of the mortgage. Can't remember the numbers as It's been 10 years since I bought mine. If their...

I'd ask an Alienware forum. From my understanding those macro keyboard just program in a combination of keystrokes. They'd have some sort of factory software on it to program. Example for Excel: Alt + O + C + A will resize a column to resize to fit. You could set a macro key to do that...

Out of curiosity I googled " Position Sizing" and the way myself and a few others described is exactly how every article went about sizing. Not to say there are not more advanced ways based off the metrics of the strategy but it's a method many use as a base. It works perfect for myself...
