    high speed trading robots

    How does it affect them? These 'bots are scamming $billions from other trader/investors & mutual funds due to manipulation and "colocating" at exchanges. They're all in bed to screw everybody else. Look at intraday charts & you can see how this market has changed over the last 3-4 years...

    High Speed Trading Unfair To Retail Traders

    The slower traders began issuing buy orders. But rather than being shown to all potential sellers at the same time, some of those orders were most likely routed to a collection of high-frequency traders for just 30 milliseconds — 0.03 seconds — in what are known as flash orders. While...

    Bloomberg: Morgan Stanley Sets Aside 72% of Revenue for Employees’ Pay

    Where are they going to 'bolt' to? Garbage collection in NYC? Even that job has 1000's wanting it. The top assholes are just crooks & the American bagholder/shareholder has absolutely no say in how a corporate business is run, especially when it comes to reigning in the pay of the top THIEVES.

    Why The Fed MUST Be Abolished

    Hard to imagine now the stupidity of congress & the American public for holding greenscam on such a high pedestal. Towards, the end, that old fool just kept insisting things were good until everything disintegrated. That old fart started drinking his own kool aid several years back.

    Goldman Sachs and the FIX

    No. The way Goldman is operating is *beyond* competitive. They and their Washington buddies screw the taxpayers and the average trader/stockholder out of $billions through manipulation & thievery in every way they can. And the fact that NO ONE in Washington is demanding their breakup points...

    If edge is hard to get, why traders keep trading?

    Money management would be compared to the race car driver making sure there are guard-rails on the track, safety equip is all working, fire extinguisher, helmet is on, ambulance is nearby. It's a *component* of the process but it won't really produce the winning result. Your competition...

    If edge is hard to get, why traders keep trading?

    Look at the recent trend in swimming competitions and the ruckus over the hi-tech swimsuits. They've given the swimmers enough of an edge to set world records. So now, if your competitors wears one & you don't, he most likely has an edge over you.

    If edge is hard to get, why traders keep trading?

    No. What prop firms offer is *leverage*. That's not really an edge. A futures contract also represents leverage but that in itself is 0 edge. Access to capital on the other hand, while also encompassing leverage, goes way beyond the prop firm bs. What a prop firm offers, is really...

    Let's say we're Formula 1 car owners/drivers. Both of us have the cars (capital) We both have drivers & quality mechanics. So far, there's no 'edge' for either side. But 1 of my top mechanics has figured out how to grind the cylinder heads in a certain way that will give my car an...

    Is anybody using excel to place orders manually? For example, click on a button in excel to transmit/cancel an order? Similar to IB's TWS but all within excel? Thanks!
