THE COMPOSITE MAN Wyckoff proposed a heuristic device to help understand price movements in individual stocks and the market as a whole, which he dubbed the “Composite Man.” “…all the fluctuations in the market and in all the various stocks should be studied as if they were the result of one...

What I'm saying is, lets say some guru gives his exact method away step by step for free to this forum. How many people would have to trade his set up for that very trade to fully arb itself out of the market?

It depends how far away your trailing stop is from spot. Obviously take into account the ATR and implied volatility of the underlying. I don't use stops. I'm a mental guy more than strategic. Probability of touch killed "stops" for me.

I guess understanding how a market maker thinks could benefit your subconscious trading?? Its good to know if you're interested

Its all monopoly.. Eventually 3 companies will own everything.

I've read a lot on forums about how traders don't tell their "edge" to the public because they are fearful if by doing so, this current method that feeds their account would suddenly disappear, or maybe gradually, becoming fully arb'ed.. Is this shit even real? Lets say you tell this forum your...

I'm very excited for 2020 and hope the market switches its trend and starts to get cheaper. We all need prices to go down A LOT. I hate how expensive everything is, don't you?? The more down the market goes the better.. hell, i'll take the SPX low of 666 in 08! I don't mind man, we all need...

So you put stops on debit spreads? Can you give me an example please? Cheers!

From my studies on the efficient market hypothesis, and the random walk theory, specifically the latter... I'm not sure if I quite understand the concept. Is this theory claiming price movement day to day is utterly "random"? Does this theory claim that price has a log-normal distribution and...

How emotionally attached are you to trading? It seems like this board has a problem with losing money. A loss is a loss man, cut it when you know you fucked up and move on to the next. Re-deploy that capital like its nothing, also with my structure a loss isn't even a consideration. I build...

/ES made all time high of 3158 on December 2 (Monday). Well today is Friday and since then we've seen a 89 point drop and a 82 point correction to end the week almost unchanged. Vol was bigger than usual yet the market didn't move much net net. How does one trade such a move? How did you?
