The real question here if i have a limit order at the bid when my order will be executed ? can other traders and customers trade at my bid ?

A late sale you say , hmm i will take that , so the volume i see is for both the electronic book and the pit ? Thanks ...

Thanks for rolling back to the old site , definitely much better !

How exactly it works ? let me explain : today i had a bid at 0.6 and there are others bidding with me as well but the 0.5 traded while the 0.6 bids still standing , could that be a leg volume , floor volume ? Thanks

Took the answer is simple there is no such thing as an edge in the real sense of the word , here what i wrote in another thread :

You didn't get my posts then , i didn't say u need this to make money , i just gave an example of what can be considered an edge , i am discussing the edge aspect and how there is no such thing as an edge to exploit as a retail trader ....

But your question is not right , there is no variances , 90-95% lose overtime , so the normal is to lose ! why ? because you pay spread and slippage and because of your limited financial abilities plus the emotional side so it is the normal to lose and that's what the data shows 90% or 95% or...

yes and even without it , it is one of the tools for you as a warrior .....

A marketmaker has an edge , instead of paying 0.25 they get 0.25 , but they have to fight for it take risk manage their books pay money wait for the flow ... etc just to make the spread ! lol

But that not the edge the retail traders are looking for , i will tell you what i consider an edge : if you have billions then you have edge , if your servers are nearer to the exchange to get the flow faster and to front run you have an edge , if you are an insider then you have an edge ...

+1 :D

edge to exploit ! sorry but there isn't , these markets are very competitive and crowded with professionals , algos , investors , banks ..... etc billions and trillions of $ and some think that there may be some edge to exploit ! there isn't wake up , yes some "5% more or less" may survive and...

I meant in a single spike , anyway ofcourse futures are very risky and not safe , but the idea was which is better to trade long and short or just shorts to eliminate the rare event risk "somewhat" , just food for thought ...

20 points is nothing , the idea was to eliminate some not all the risk of a rare event , basically the market could be limit down within few minutes . ofcourse that is not applicable to commodities ....

I thought we were talking about a "flash crash" kinda thing , and upward moves are slower than the down side ...

yes i know , but it is less disastrous than if you are on the long side ...

what if you are a short-only trader ? anyway does stops work in such days ?

hey If i may , how many times you scale in ( max ) ? are you still short-only trader ? Regards
