I can trade the ES the question is which product is best as an alternative to SPY and is it possible to convert SPY prices to ES prices?

Hello All, I have developed a system that appears to be working extremely well on the SPY. Being a conservative type I only wish to commit around 20% of my net wealth to my strategy. Using this strategy I am not afraid of using high risk at it is a robust system with a high hit rate. What I am...

For those of you who disagreed with Experiencedjoe and Butterfly about how banks own and manipulate the book perhaps you should read this. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-05-20/anatomy-of-an-fx-manipulation

In my own inexperienced opinion it is the forced liquidity from the stops of those early bears that keep the market moving higher and higher. I heard it mentioned somewhere before that a market will drop when everyone is long and that a market will likely turn bearish on good news. Its quite a...

Would you have been able to spot and trade these real time or do they happen too quick to allow time for decision making etc?

The point is if you try to manipulate the market and you are a trader then you can expect to face a trial and perhaps even jail. Now if you are a journalist and you report news from an "anonymous" source perhaps with the intent to move the market for the advantage of yourself or others, then so...

Can you cite any regulations to reinforce what your suggesting?

This was a post from a member called "experiencedjoe". In a lot of strategies that have a minor chance of success always involved the instigator of the strategies front-running the rest. Therefore it is to the instigator's advantage, after he has entered a position, to tell others about it, or...

Thanks Baron thats the opinion I had formed. Its quite surprising that this is the situation considering that the likes of the SEC take market manipulation seriously. News can also move price and quite a lot under certain circumstances yet is unregulated.

Well I apologise if I upset you but seeing as you appear to be well grounded in facts then maybe you can answer my question above?

Who is the regulatory body for financial news services such as Reuters or Bloomberg? I can´t find the answer anywhere so I thought I would ask here before declaring them unregulated.

Thanks Syswizard

Mind explaining how he did it then?

Monitoring other exchanges for large orders then using his latency to "front run" the orders to the exchange in which he had the latency advantage.

I believe that we do understand the Internet and how social media like elite trader works. In fact one of the best posts I have ever read is by Blotto on this subject where he pretty much outlines exactly to the word what goes on in these forums. Here follows one of the best posts on ET in my...

I´d say 8-9 before IMO.

Symbol vltc is not currently in the Easy-to-Borrow list. :-(

Anybody watching X? It confirmed yesterday on the 30 day @ 15 and the 5 day and MR are at 8 and has nearly confirmed the monthly A up which will be its first in 7 months.

Oil anybody? Think I am going to start looking for entries on failed weekly A downs. If it confirms that is but looks strong so far.

So from the last post unfortunately OIL never managed to make a monthly A upyet and seems to be going side ways but still with reaching distance of the monthly A up. Here are the number lines; +10 30 day +2 % day -2 MR Rio still has not confirmed negative on the 30 as it has not had 2...
