So when are we going to see some of these naked-shorting hedge fund managers and their facilitators at the i-banks do perp walks? IMO, these bastards are much worse than many of the others the NY AG has strung up by their balls. These naked shortsellers are destroying legitimate value for...

All that's doing is getting markets back where they would be otherwise, if the illegal short-selling hadn't occurred to begin with. Sure, there may be an over-reaction to the upside as legit short-sellers bail as well, but the SEC action is to eliminate (or at least minimize) an illegal...

Un-f$%ing-believable! Thanks for the explanation flytiger. Why isn't the WSJ, Barron's or some other newspaper digging into this more? How can so many institutions be flaunting a clear law without repercussions? Where are the AG's on this issue?

Sounds like it was a good time for an options straddle.

Pardon my ignorance, but I thought it was already illegal for naked short selling of stocks to be conducted. Meaning, that in order for a trader/institution to sell a stock short, the broker/institution had to be able to borrow the stock from another account which already owned the stock. I...

While we're at it, let's squeeze out all those nefarious long speculators in crude. :D

It's called a short squeeze into the close.....especially pronounced now that all those villainous naked shorters can't do it anymore on the big financials and have to unwind those illegal positions. If you can't beat 'em, you'd better join 'em.

Javs - It's tradepilotpro.

I think hurricane meant: .01, .02, .04, .08, etc. not: .01, .02, .03, .04, etc (which is what he typed).

Yes, look at double top highs from Friday (using pre-market data for first pivot).

Yes, I meant Ninja. Thanks for the reply F9.

What's a CCV bar as opposed to a constant volume bar? I have both TS and NT. Anyone know if NT constructs proper CVBs?

amitman - I like how you use the 4 tick range bars. A few questions for you: 1. What's your entry? 1 tick in the correct direction beyond a reversal bar at the S/R level? Are you using a stop entry? 2. Are you using fixed target and stop sizes, or target/stops based on the past...

Oh man.....hysterical! :D Yes, I'd like to see Joab's "charts". I'm sure he's got a nice "double bottom" or something to show us. :p Seriously, I'd like to see his chart example.

Thanks for that clarification, WTF. I wasn't trying to nitpick, just trying to understand what you're doing. From your explanation, I thought that initial trade was supposed to be a short also, but the arrow colors said otherwise. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to future charts.

Ah.....no First arrow is blue (long) followed by red (sell to close) at a lower price. That would be a loser in my book. Unless the arrow colors are wrong on the chart for that first trade.

20 hours a day? That's nuts! Sorry to indulge your short patience, but if I understand your chart correctly, today you had in sequential order: loser winner loser winner Correct? With that, I won't bother you until you post another chart (and only if I need clarification at that...

WTF? WTF I can't figure out what you're saying with that chart. Are you shorting on red arrows and going long on blue arrows? Or vice versa? Or something else? Can you be a bit more explicit in explaining your methods of taking trades?

The problem today occurred almost exactly at 11:00 ET. If you did not have an active order or open position during the problem period, you wouldn't have noticed, since the data continued to flow to the DOM and charts like normal. It was only order transaction data that had problems. If you...

For what it's worth, here's the explanation they gave me regarding the problems today and yesterday (I had stuck orders/positions during the problem timeframes both days): "Normally the Globex B channel sends identical data as the A channel and can be used during high volume periods to make...
