    Order Imbalances

    I put the preliminary post on this in the Stocks Forum, but after doing a bit of a Search, it seemed like this might be better placed here. I'm interested in how information about the Order Imbalances on NYSE stocks that's released late in the trading day might be useful (or not useful)...

    Imbalances?

    Thanks - in the process of searching now. I did look at a few academic papers, but these seemed to look more at the long-term effects of order imbalances, rather than any effect for the current or coming day's trading.

    Imbalances?

    I recently started listening to a squack box thing throughout the trading day. This brings all the economic reports as they're released, and largely useless rumors, comments from the Fed and CEO's - junk, in general. However, toward the end of the trading day, they report on something called...

    "What type of trader are you ?"

    The best laugh I've had on ET in quite some time, except, possibly, for the threads from these "archetypes! Absolutely superb! Oh, and Strategic here, apparently - especially if I ignore the article from the Sceptic, LOL! Another great contribution as well!

    What can I do to learn the most about the market?

    One word: JUNK. Actually, several words: Very expensive junk sold by vendors, NOT traders, to complete newbies and retired people.

    why did market tank into close?

    I doubt if yuo even trade, but that just makes yuor like most on ET. All the markets needs to drop is a lack of buying. Think about it: Suppose yuo sold coats, and no one was buying, or if they were, it wasn't much. What would yuo do? Yuo'd lower the price or have a sale until yuo moved...

    S&P vs Fair Value questions

    Thanks, nazz! Yeah, I've never seen much in this so far - just seems to suggest where the opening might be, then all bets are off after the open.

    S&P vs Fair Value questions

    According to the CME Fair Value is "...the theoretical assumption of where a futures contract shuold be priced...," And that "Price discrepancies above or below fair value shuold cause arbitrageurs to return the market closer to it's fair value." Ok, so it seems like this could be done a...

    Anyone experiencing constant wide wicks on esignal this morning?

    After first talking to the tools in LiveRep (who become more worthless with every conversation), who had no idea how to deal with this, I then sat on hold for over 20 minutes listening to ads for eSignal and that POS GET thing. THe chick I finally talked to, Iris, asked if it was NYSE stocks...

    Esignal lagging again!

    I've complained about this on this thread and others. This was a problem this week, and today - always when the market is moving, which of course, is when both danger and opportunity are greatest. I'm trying something different for the rest of the month, and if it doesn't have the same...

    Dilema

    Hey fuckhead, I've been in this game in a number of different capacities for over 20 years - probably about yuor age right now. This included years as a floor trader. Yuo asshole kids must be able to play on Facebook or mySapce or something right? Why not keep yuor uselss bullshit off ET.

    Dilema

    Start by ignoring the "advice" of this tool calling himself cold. My wife is in real estate, and says to see if there are any brokers that offer gauranteed sales programs. Yuo may not get full appraised value, but would know it is sold. She also suggests renting inexpensively until yuor...

    Market In Confirmed Rally Mode: Investors Business Daily

    By all means DO look at the charts. For example, on the Dow: Thurs 3/20 - huge volume, but no new high Mon 3/24 - volume drops in half from Thurs, closes off the highs Tues 3/25 - no range at all, which may mean No Demand From Buyers, low volume, closes off the high Wed 3/26 - off 109...

    Learning to read Price Action with P&F Charting

    Just got back to the tread, HG. A quick question: Is this the Double Bottom failure at 34.00 or the most recent at 40.00? Assumming the two points I'm looking at are, in fact, the double bottoms. Thanks again!

    Taking Profits Too Early

    Well said! I think it's imperative to know where and when yuo're going to get out before yuo put the trade on. I'm still working on this one, too, and find I do much better on trades with a planned exit strategy than those where I get in and then realize I'm not quite sure where to get out...
