When you feel like buying, the pro's are driving price upward to suck you in. When you feel like shorting, pro's are letting price drop to collect stops before the next rise. Only moves that have much higher momentum relative to recent moves have a shot at sustaining trend for much time...

When the blocks at each bid/ask are 3-4k... And the market has a news spike less than human reaction time, and the blocks at the bid/ask are gone before price hits them... It's automated. Sierrachart L5 Numbers Bars with a custom Point of Control Indicator. Nobody can click fast enough to...

It's actually a published fact that half of futures trading is automated at this point. Might be 75% automated within a couple years... Who knows. :/ That really only effects very short term traders and scalpers. I know from personal experience that the alogos move in fast... When you get...

It's not that much of a surprise. It's just I never had a way to accurately measure it. I was playing with numbers bars for fun and discovered they could be used to accurately analyze true liquidity levels on each side of the market by how many contracts are hit 3+- handles up/down during spike...

Well... You know what trading is right? The point of bidding up price is to attract buyers. Once amateur traders and others see price starting to move they start to rush in. Depending upon the momentum of the move and how many buyers come in... Pro's then decide how long until they sell out...

The market just skims through places where there was previously 2000-3000 contracts waiting at the bid or ask merely hitting around 250-750 contracts on it's way through the prices... If my data feed is correct... Sometimes the market even spikes through areas hitting only 50-100...

I was doing some analysis with numbers bars... On events like the Merkel spike, and others... Those large blocks on either side of the market are an illusion... If this data is correct... They are just algorithmically placed and when the market actually moves toward them they disappear...

J.Joseph just found one of the key secrets to becoming a predator in the market and how to prey on others emotions. :cool: GJ Man!

LoL... I thought that was a chart of the ES... Pattern looks exactly the same. Most of these currencies are so correlated or inversely correlated with the equities markets there really isn't any point in trading FX... Cross correlation in global markets is so strong nowadays that when you...

... To help keep the rally momentum up. We need something to get Bernanke announcing a new economic support program to get some serious momentum moving. If Bernanke had a little more political power he could push it through, but he's up against the wall with the rest of the fed governors...

This is mostly useful to investors in making decisions on long term positioning. The deeper the crash the farther supply/demand can recover toward the fundamental ranges. The bigger the temporary demand suppression caused by a panic the bigger the rally potential. The fed has and always...

In my opinion PE ratio's are not very important. The yield is the key to the "core" of the market fair value area. If the market is priced way too far away from it's core the market loves to cycle it's way back toward the core fair value area. From what I have seen over the last three...

Honestly... Did you even bother to check the GCQ2 100 tick chart on your data feed before saying that? NOTHING moves like that ever... Each one of those bars has the EXACT same levels for multiple candles with a WIDE range of movement.

The market isn't gambling if you know how it's rigged and are an insider. No real trader is going to hold a position through wildcard events like EU meetings. Approximately 95% lose all of the time and 5% win all of the time. Go see if you can figure out why. :cool:

Be nice to the newbies Douchebag!
