As long as you trade wearing at least your underpants, you should be fine.

Thanks, I always get that confused. Really helpful. It's like "Buy Low, Sell High" ... or is it the other way around? I can never remember... Thanks anyway.

What triggered today's sell off in Gold at about 10h45 EST?

I have no idea, but have you contacted tradestation?

A very powerful planetary alignment is about to begin… Saturn will square Pluto and the Moon and Venus will join Pluto in a septile arrangement. To add to this, the Sun septiles Saturn, too. So I'm neutral.

If I have understood the attached article correctly (and I'm sure someone on ET will be quick to point out if I have not!), isn't this going to make matters more difficult for HFT...

Don't use TS, so don't know the answers to these questions myself, but ... 1. Are the TS files kept in your Documents folder (assuming you are using some version of Windows)? If "yes", then 2. Do you do a regular backup of your Documents folder? If "yes", then 3. Can you restore an...

I think he was being serious.

chartman Thanks, for the full and detailed response. I only have a small fraction of your experience in terms of years in the industry, and real experience such as yours is something I respect in all fields. In fairness, I don't think it is a matter of bicep flexing to prove one person...

The above (answer, and reason) are correct... as anyone who has read Nassim Taleb’s “Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets” (which in includes me, and presumably also the OP?) will know. I found it easier to understand the answer more intuitively by...

Spent a few free days in this Trading Room ... http://www.signaltrading.net/ Looked like it might be good. Good luck.

chartman, Do you have a final statement before the judges reach a verdict and pass sentence? The charges: 1. Spreading misinformation on ET 2. Asserting falsehoods, albeit unknowingly and eloquently

Market for US ETFs is open from 04h00 - 20h00 EST, Monday - Friday. Market orders won't work out of the main session. To get filled, just place a sell (buy) limit order at the bid (offer) price. Or play market maker yourself, and wait for someone to take the other side of your order.

Again, these don't resonate with what I believed I understood; a) For NYSE at least, I'm still under the impression that a sort of "FIFO" (First In First Out) operates until no further trades can be cleared at that price. i.e. a single trade at that price does not re-set the time priority...

chartman, Can't argue with what you've actually seen ... even if it seems things ain't supposed to be that way now! It's all there on the NYSE site (which - although it is not clear from the website - probably also includes rules for AMEX, too). www.nyse.com Search for rules 72, 104, and...

From Rule 72 ... The term "displayed interest" includes that part of an order that is published as, or as part of, the Exchange BBO. and Only the portion of setting interest that is or has been published in the Exchange BBO shall be entitled to priority allocation of an execution. That...

Aha! Good point!

swiftmike99 I had the same doubts (see my post, 4 before yours, and then Chartman’s response), but nobody else stepped up to confirm or deny the assertion (so Chartman may well be correct)... ... So I did some research on my own (see my post, 1 before yours). I was only able to...
