Howdy, just wondering if there are any instances when an order queue could be rendered visible. All this adding and pulling bids before they are lifted really implies someone (mm:s?) know their place in the queue and can time cancellations in a very precise manner. Is this possible, is there...

So basically your take is that these guys add market noise for awhile then disappears?

I think not. There is a techological barrier limiting the stategies available to retail traders. Are you trying to become the new king of one-word replies aftr metoo?

Good 4 you gg!

They discover they have a technological edge in their execution platform, so they build a "strong quantitative prop trading group" to exploit it. Hiring PhD:s by the numbers. Still the guy trading from home on cable hasn´t got a clue as to why he cant stay consistently profitable...

Do I smell Schopenhauer?

Thanks all for the efforts, lurking and learning here. Personally I am from the outset sceptical about a double up (albeit by multiplier) strategy as it gets really hard to mentally execute on those days when flipping losses add up and you need to put on a bigger and bigger position just to...

Fast mum you've got. Faster than world class athletes in fact. Were she to compete at the racetrack she would have been discualified for false starts: (The rules of the IAAF (International Amateur Athletic Federation) fix the minimum time of physiological reaction at 100 milliseconds. Below this...

Morning. The other day a thread discussed the importance of ping times on your trading, and spilled over to human reaction times. Got me thinking on what was "good" and "normal" reaction times. Below are reaction times for some pro athletes all in between 100 and 200 ms. On the side:Research has...

Acrary, I´m full of respect for your work here. I suppose one could see trendiness as a function of diffrences in [directionality divided by volatility] between different timeframes. Example Trendiness by this definition means High directionality (steep slope) and Small volatility around...

Were I to give a good rule I´d change that to [B]Buy High, Sell Higher Sell Low, Cover Lower[B] Top-calling (or bottom for that matter) is for fools and people with low self-esteem in my opinion. But nevermind.

Yeah, I suppose you´re right, I was kind of thinking of these stocks as a way to test out new waters in a cheap way, keeping costs down. Although Im still wondering if anyone has a gem hidden which they discarded merely because commissions made the strategy un-profitable. Thanks anyhow.

And the other chart Thanks for any suggestions!

First of all: this is not an ad or anything. What strategies could work with commission-free trading? The reason I ask is that a Swedish broker offer retail clients one select stock a month, which they can trade with no comission. Off course you still have slippage. The stocks are generally...

Really really great definition of reason. Thank You! Joe

Well said. The mental adaption required is more important than capitalization! Trading full time is a whole new story. Do not underestimate the impact of working alone from home, it can be devastating if your used to getting lots of social feedback during the day. Best of luck. joe

Hello, here´s four different crowd-ambience sounds, you can loop them, could maybe work for your project. http://w1.631.telia.com/~u63113714/Ambience.zip rightclick, save as Cheers Joe

Yeah, optional was the man, wise but always pissing people off...a true trader. Wonder if hes back though...some posters look a lot like him...

quote from mg financial... "Recall that an orderly decline in the dollar turned ugly was the very backdrop in 1987. Only this time the US is the world's largest debtor nation, not a net creditor, which means the downturn could be worse as it requires $2 billion in foreign financing a day. In...

A big problem is that profiting on black swan events puts you at direct odds with general public and institutions. Explosions in volatility favour downside moves, and generally, as has been pointed out, most the financial community is long-only funds who press exchanges for restrains in dramatic...
