Here is a simple solution that would cut our firearm murder rate by over HALF. Prohibit young black males from the ages of 14 to 35 from owning any type of firearm. Are you uncomfortable yet? Why is it that such a small national demographic is responsible for the majority of the gun murders...

Perhaps. A statement was made by Nine_Ender regarding the results as evidence of peoples stupidity. I offered evidence that DESPITE a tripling in the number of people with carry permits the gun homicide rate has been steadily declining. The facts do not jibe with Nine_Ender's fears.

The topic is this headline. "PRINCETON, N.J. -- A majority of Americans, 56%, believe that if more Americans carried concealed weapons after passing a criminal background check and training course, the country would be safer." We are not discussing household gun ownership rates. We are...

Explain how the firearm murder rate is declining while at the same time concealed carry is increasing in our country. Is America getting stupid or is it just isolated to people like you? It should be pointed out that the majority of mass killings have happened where legally carrying a firearm...

Don't fight the tape.

Personally on the 6E I start to notice when 50+ contracts have been added and am pretty sure its an iceberg after 100 are added. The day I mentioned (10/08) was clearly an iceberg as the trader soaked up over 400 contracts which is two and a half times the normal number of contracts for a price...

If you could determine how many contracts were sitting at a price level when it became the inside price and how many contracts subsequently traded at that level before moving away it would help identify where icebergs were. There is no way to determine how many of the added contracts were part...

You would be surprised. I see refreshing orders in the 6E almost every day.

The pulling of orders doesn't indicate an iceberg; I just mentioned that as an additional benefit of the Jigsaw tools. Seeing contracts ADDED beyond what is normal for your instrument is a pretty good clue there MAY BE an iceberg.

I doubt you will be able to ascertain the hidden total interest at a price level until after the fact. It isn't very useful after the fact in my opinion. If you have watched it long enough you know whether or not it is just normal activity or a true iceberg. I trade the 6E and I can tell when...

"My question is whether anyone here has made any attempt to classify a set of orders as an iceberg or not by looking for orders that continually refresh at the back? I imagine this is a pretty difficult task, since those using icebergs and CME have every incentive to effectively hide them." I...

What he said. :) I would never be in a position during a news major news release let alone try to trade it.

I've got an old cat that likes to "hug" my mouse arm for warmth. Never had a problem with his being there.

Yes other markets influence futures contracts. As a matter of fact there is NOTHING traded on this planet that is not influenced by other markets. I stand my assertion that there are no futures contract that "tracks so many different indexes and commodities". Name one. Is it something a guy...

:rolleyes: You do not have a clue about futures do you? Complicated? There are NO CONTRACTS that track "many different indexes and commodities". Leverage? Yes the contracts are leveraged and if you are uncomfortable with that then don't trade. 90 to 95% of people that attempt to trade lose...

There are very few firearms that use a "clip". If you are going to try to ban firearms AT LEAST TRY to understand the facts. I think what you were trying to say is guns now have magazines.:rolleyes: I call bullshit on the founding fathers not realizing technology would improve. The earliest hand...

If you have a purely mechanical system that works couldn't you code it as a strategy and let the computer make the trades? I am just throwing that out as a possible way to remove the emotion that is causing losses.

Give me the tape, dom and a 70 tick footprint chart & I'm good.

I don't think MBPS is as much an issue as latency is. I think you would be fine with a 5 to 10mbps connection speed providing your latency is under 50 ms.
