this is how the China rolls. no need for war or invasion. soon they will own pretty big chunk of good old USA. then-they will lobby and soon-will tell you what to do.

This is what i'm planning to do with my existing strategy-just spread up hidden orders where they are native to exchange(ISLAND,ARCA,BATS)(yeah..and pay triple commission) and see what happens

what a hogwash :D

yep. i was working on one really short term( few min max) system that i described earlier in some other thread. everything is fine ,good PnL on backtests, even if i put entry at midpoint between bid \ask,exit on stop at worst-ie sell at bid,buy cover at ask,lot of trades etc...until i added one...

yeah..with a couple hours lunch break,like in Japan. :) as i said long time ago-they killed the golden goose-retail trading and now it's dog eat dog time. good luck with that.

I have somewhat similar question-developed system that works Ok with few high priced , fairly liquid ETFs, but if I change in my backtesting entry at midpoint or buy at bid, sell short at ask(I know, silly me)-results are obviously became significantly better. Question-what retail trader with...

just as a SEC itself

here we go..if there a special tags attached to the order that allow one to recognize if it's a retail or not(forget about such deep details-if it's a same guy)-this thing alone gives other side huge advantage. and one more time-if SEC is interested at all to help the public-they can say-all...

exactly same experience with exactly same outcome. the only thing you forgot to mention is when stock is about to go against you-no problem with fills. and net by the end of the day is not +84,but negative. and on paper trading,backesting everything will look fine and kosher. as i said long time...

well... at least i didn't blew or piss away those profits. that will give me a lot of time to sit down adjust to a situation. as of now- i'm working(backtesting included) on few ideas,but i'm not overly optimistic about those projects. can't explain why,but i lost the interest in trading. i...

have you been able to live on trading forex? or let says SP500 futures? i've made a decent living trading that junk you are talking about(low liquidity stocks). nothing fancy,but back i a day-six figures a year,without lifting my ass of the chair..my point is-when you trade your super...

---HFT, and is backtesting helpful or harmful? --- i wouldn't call HFT. it should be named-is current market micro structure helpful in back testing or not? the answer will depend on what exactly you are backtesting. i have a system that i've been trading for years(on halt now). it is on...

yep. it's a spit in our(the public) face. with one very straight message-f** off meanwhile. when SEC is trying to convince congress that markets are fine,solid and secure- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=283734 and i'm still waiting for an answer from SEC-wtf went wrong...

there you have it. as i said-if they have even tiny little bit of intention to do anything about it-they would do a couple things here and there to demonstrate that. instead-they did demonstrate the usual-they don't give a f** about it. they don't give a f** about you and me. it's a big club and...
