Sprstpd .... Exactly right. Amazing how most of the experienced traders that actually are in the markets day in day out surviving and profiting don't actually have an issue.

The only ppl that fall for spoofers tricks are front running Algos. Who are part of the same crowd as the spoofers. All order book games which makes no real difference to where the market ultimately goes. Just let them get on with it. If ppl think banning spoofers will make all orders 'real'...

I think exchanges see fines as a major source of revenue now. Not to mention other non volume based revenue incentives. Apparently CME data fees going up to $340 a month next yeah. No competition at all. Sorry getting a bit off topic but just seems to be more and more legislative competition...

Such BS. If a guy wants to put in 900 lots he doesn't want to get filled on good luck to him. He wears the loss if he gets collected and the market spikes against him. And if you're that much of a bad trader that u buy or sell just because there is a large order you want to front run then you're...

Good analysis. I largely agree. However I think trade tariffs are one thing. But the whole world hooked on what a central banker is going to say is very wrong. But to be honest I've yet to meet anyone outside government spokesmen that think it's a good thing

Povstanets To be honest safety isn't my main concern. It doesn't bother me if markets go up or down. There is money to be made both ways. my concern is the lack of free markets.

I'm not against global free markets at all! I'm saying the markets are global. But they aren't free. It's a unified state control

I think some inflation would be the more pressing answer. To be honest I don't like this talk of 'world' policies. Free markets should allow individual counties to fight economic events on an individual basis and let the market figure out who is fighting it best. It's everyone in the world...

Not saying you are wrong. But you cite Europe as a road map for what may happen in the US. But Europe has even lower inflation than US (despite the bond collapse you referred to) and they still have QE pumping the printing presses

Hyperinflation? Don't get me wrong I was one of the loonies in 2008 yelling to anyone that would listen that QE would turn US/UK/EU into Weimar Germany. But here we are 8 years later with 0% inflation. Commodities getting crushed. In all my years in the market the one adage that always...

Regardless of WHO ends up paying the debt, the question I think is more interesting is by what mechanism will they pay? There is no way USA will default on their debt in a conventional 'nope sorry how about getting half back'. There's as much chance of that as the Chinese army marching up to...

What has a major virus got to do with our financial situation? Either you are implying the economic crisis is going to lead to a virus outbreak..how? Or you are implying that will clean out the system.. how will that solve things? World wealth/GDP/production has been increasing in lockstep...

And still the perma bulls haven't appeared on this thread to explain to us why there is reason for optimism on an exit plan.... I wonder if the plan was Gov take companies into public ownership. Inflate asset prices with tons of QE then privatise the companies again at a huge profit and use...

I've outlined some genuine concerns. I am totally open minded. And actively seeking someone to put a positive spin on things. I want things to work out well. And you obviously feel they will. So please explain how you think things are going to work out for the best. Western countries have...

Nine_ender. I think that's a pretty arrogant tone. I'm too 'blinkered' to possibly have you explain it ? I started this thread with the sole purpose of opening our minds to a positive outcome. Please enlighten us..genuinely

We have 4 options to solve this mess from how I see it. 1. Devalue currency...only works assuming every other country in the world doesnt do it at the same time..which they are. Not going to work. 2. Get huge increase in GDP and pay down debt the 'good' way. Well we've been trying to stoke...

I agree, which still begs the questions, what the hell were they expecting to happen?

Ha so this thread is already descending into what a screw up the economy is. I was hoping this thread would shed some light on what the plan is as the central bank sees it but apart from 'economy gets better' there doesn't seem to be any specific plan of what happens to the trillions in debt or...

Which is kinda my point? Did they (govs'/central bankers) really go into this knowing that they were going to increase debt to a level that can never be paid back? Or is there a theory somewhere that it can work out? Maybe they were hoping for insane levels of inflation to erode the debt?

I think most of us traders would like another 08 style crash as it will send volatility through the roof. But we dont want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Another financial market crash and you know who will get the blame... us.. the "evil" speculators. Even though it has solely...
