presenter with a speech impediment - a surer bet than buying AUD on chinese rate cut

Anything off the back of SNB ? presumably requires a bbg/reuters terminal or failing that, real time squawk

Thanks for sharing none business. I don't dispute that you are making money and perhaps everything you suggest about the level of corruption is entirely true - but did you ever consider that many of these spikes may be very large players who don't care about losing a few ticks on each contract...

curiously similar I guess

CL somewhat reminiscent of the 8 cent NG rally I guess. 31st october just caught my eye... Find it surprising that these predator moves can take 30mins+ to unfold, as was the case in NG.

none business, your handle should have been John Connor

Thanks None Business for some thought provoking posts. I noticed the thread "is this place dead?" and it occurred to me there are still a small handful of interesting posters popping up from time to time that keep me reading.

time stamp test

Very much enjoy garachens posts but re: "path towards profitability" * "Try to gain intuition to determine if there is selling pressure or buying pressure." * "not super news sensitive" * "But I would be curious if anyone were to follow my method to fruition." Difficult to reconcile this "path...

I've got YM ES and NQ ladders up. If garachen is sure ES is a terrible contract to manually trade, does that not reflect poorly on YM? They move so closely...

8) Just came to mind; the messaging limits of the exchange in question as indicator of how algo friendly the product is

Hi thanks for response. The basis for my assumptions: 4) Just my observation that retail brokers expect more margin for more volatile products and it makes logical sense to me also. If I were a sophisticated player I think I'd favour a product where the barriers to entry for less sophisticated...

Hi ET, I’ve had a few very early ideas as to what might help reveal the ratio of manual vs algorithmic traders on any given product, but until I do further research I’m not sure how sensible these ideas are and I may be barking up the wrong tree entirely. For that reason I’d welcome additional...

Hi, AFAIK I'm not breaking any ET rules here (?) I understand life-time licenses of NT are not transferable. To my knowledge, the same rule doesn't explicitly apply to the 3 month subs. I happen to have a 3 month subs, just a few days old, and I don't really need it - just took my eye off the...

Do everyone a favour and don't bother.

Coincidentally I happen to believe a major pull-back is due in Q2, on S&P But I don't believe in placing shorts until the momentum is clearly to the downside. Show a chart of S&P500 over the last couple of years to any child and ask the question; "is this going up or down?" The answer is...

"It's been a while since I posted anything. Came across a "Loch Ness Monster" citing on 6J and could not resist to take a screen shot and post it here. This happens perhaps once every year or so on some contracts, and I tell you, when it does, you bet the farm!" - It comes but once a year...

"I have been trading 1 lot for almost 4 years now, and will probably continue trading 1 lot for another 4 years! I constantly have the same conversation with other traders saying that changing that little digit from 1 to 10" 1) It is all about the money: I need to get a paycheck from the...

as recently as July 2012 you were trading with 1 lot. +1700 on 6J isn't to be sniffed at, but by now, if you believed in your strategy, you would have scaled up. That is a fact.

in addition to exploring some of the suggestions made already, here's what i would do: study the historical charts in the context of what scheduled economic releases were made on each day. You might find the volatility is very low on the monday after NFP, or during the session/s in the...
