    How effective is the VWAP?

    Correct, but I would add that it is a constant only after the market is closed. Just like the high and low, the VWAP can change throughout the trading day.

    Pre market

    If by "mid market" you mean halfway between the bid and ask, then there is a good chance. But you have to be much more careful in the premarket than during Regular Trading Hours. In RTH, you are somewhat protected by the narrower bid/ask spread, and that most of the news has been factored in...

    Pre market

    With the exception of QQQ, SPY, and a couple others, the spread will be wide. However, the closer you get to the 09:30 open, the narrower the spreads become.

    Indices - stocks correlation. How to trade?

    I calculated them. First I downloaded a list of the daily close for each ETF for the past 6 months, then calculated the daily percentage change, then for each pair of ETFs, I ran the lists of percentage changes through the Pearson Correlation algorithm. Sounds complicated, but I have written...

    Indices - stocks correlation. How to trade?

    Yes there is a correlation between the stock and the index, but the strength of the correlation depends on a) which index, and b) what percentage of the index does that stock comprise. Using your example of AMD, according to the Pearson Correlation formula, the daily price changes of AMD have a...

    Jeopardy Question

    I live about 10 houses from John Ratzenberger (Cliff Clavin the postman from the Cheers TV show). I ran into him a couple times during my daily walks and talked to him; very friendly guy. Anyway, if you really want some good laughs, go to Netflix and look up the episode on Cheers where Cliff...

    Is a Graphics Card Necessary?

    I doubt that you can build your own computer for less than DellOutlet charges. Other than that I agree with just about everything else that you stated. However, I rarely plan to keep a computer much longer than their 3 year warranty, so I shop by price.

    Jeopardy Question

    I finally got around to watching some old Jeopardy's on my DVR, and they had a trading related question, which I was ashamed that I could not answer: From the Latin for "To Look At", they are investors out for short-term profit; Their money keeps the markets liquid & efficient. I will post the...

    Is a Graphics Card Necessary?

    I continue to recommend DellOutlet. If you want a very small desktop, check out the Optiplex 7000 line. At 7.2" x 6.9" x 1.5" (74 cubic inches) it is 1/3 the size of your goal (220 cubic inches)l. I bought one last year with i7-7700 CPU, 16GB ram, 512GB PCI M.2 SSD, Windows 10 Pro and 3-year...

    Assuming your case and onboard graphics support 3 monitors, no you won't need a graphics card just for trading and MS Office. BTW, before going to the trouble of building your own system, I would check out DellOutlet.com ; You will be hard pressed to beat their prices, and they come with a 3...

    New NAFTA, making Mexico great again?

    Nope. First, the U.S. and Mexico together cannot kill NAFTA without Canada's agreement. Killing NAFTA is a long drawn out process, which probably explains why Trump did not kill it when he became president. Second, so far, this new deal is basically talk. It would require the agreement of...

    New NAFTA, making Mexico great again?

    I don't understand. Wouldn't car makers be more likely to move production from North America to Asia under this deal? Or are you forgetting that Mexico is in North America? Besides if a car made in Mexico that does not meet the 75% minimum North American content threshold, the duty to import it...
