    Whats the point of nasdaq or nyse by buying the LSE?

    Ya, a bunch of bureaucrats got the entrepreneurial bug. It says that members can save 50-75% off their fees, but isn't this more indicative of the technology and times we live in than the viability of a business targeted as being thrifty. Is it trying to be liquidnet? At least they have a viable...

    Superfund's Christian Baha consults Michael Covel?!

    Thing is , is marketing a hedge fund not allowed in the u.s? Mind you, a good hedge fund obviously markets indirectly to institutions and high net worth people through networks not directly linked to traditional market vehicles. I read somewhere that he is or was using TV ads, anyone know if...

    Hi boys

    I haven't seen a stock that bad for a while. I'd sell and short at 7.25. You could short it here, but set your stop at 7.25. Note this is assuming you are holding positions overnite, not daytrading. Does look like there is a serious short squeeze on this stock, lest their be some...

    Good intraday stocks

    You could probably do a script that searches out volatility in stocks and get some results. Ill try something out. The stock appears if the volatility (ATR(1)) is 3 times the day before. Seems work out fine. You could apply the same concept to an intraday filter. V = Volume; Y = Volume *...

    trading in Emerging Markets.....

    You can easily acquire data on Japan or India and test your strategy on those markets. You probably need 500K + to trade real emerging markets ( Turkey, Poland, Korea, etc) to set up an account at a foreign broker and deal with the paperwork.

    Be the master of your domain

    Well you dont look at the P & L for a market maker on one stock to tell you anything. A firm like Susequehanna trades on 100s of stocks and they make money in some and lose or break even in others. You can't expect a trader on his own without info or access to the order book to be able to trade...

    Nassim Taleb makes the rounds again

    Oh ok, I thought it was some strategy he had for buying "cheap" out of the money options. I get it, he's just arguing the case for these events, and their reward potential if they happen. Ditto
