What is a selfmoderating thread? Is it what poster Sig said: "It's just the person's post in the thread that gets collapsed, the thread remains the same" ? Sig sounds like a sharp cookie in his posts and I have a hunch he is keeping all his good trading knowledge under his hat.

I think mbondy and a few other posters place orders resting bellow the bid and ask looking to catch a spike that clears out the first level, but I am not sure about this. Many savvy traders no longer add liquidity by sitting on the bid or offer because they believe algos too often step aside...

Adverse selection on fills

Proof!!

I am 100 percent sincere and have Rin4et as one of the posters I follow because she asks good questions and she is not a poser. Many of the people I follow, like Dustin and Lescor, are winning equity traders and savvy posters. However, I don't have to agree with every single thing a sincere...

Sending you a pm.

To me, it does not matter if this is your best thread, or not. You have many excellent question-threads that have drawn out strong answers, even from people who rarely post.Just last night I reviewed a few of the answers you recieved to old questions. I like that you are searching for the...

Automation, efficient order routing and using the best broker for what you do can make a huge difference.. See more Do more Speedier Better fills and better trades and more trades

Doesn't adding liquidity often leave you vulnerable to adverse selection? (Your resting order is subpennied by algos if your fill looks like a good one and the algos step aside and let you fill if your fill is probably a bad one... expectation wise in the immidiate future)? How do you look to...

Great first post. Thanks!

Cool! Thank you for doubling back and teaching me something.

Some people need to show more class, especially toward prolific and highly respected postets who continually try to be helpful.

There are excellent threads that attract malicious trolls so I don't think downgrading threads that attract trolls is best. But it is possible I don't fully understand how your idea works. And there probably variations of your idea, as well. Anyway.. I sure do agree with your sentiments.

Exactly right.

Most edges for manual daytraders end and they end quicker and quicker now. Increasing technological progress guarantees this. Markets adjust and regulatry loopholes close ( example: SOES Bandits). This is why the majority of prop firms have ceased and the majority of winning traders from 15...

Huh? Positive expectation is necessary, regardless of how it is obtained. But perhaps I am not understanding your idea correctly.

This was my point but you said things in a better way.

100 percent correct.
