You convinced me here,but which countries are still firmly opposed to any global tax of any kind?

TX, how much do you pay on exchange fees per contract on your markets? For some reason, I can't find it back on CME website. Thanks a lot.

Thanks a for the info ZeroSigma, but Japan is also part of the" leading group for innovative financing", so I guess there are people higher than him that are supporters of the Tobin tax. PS: Have you seen the face of the guy in the YouTube video? We shouldn't allow aliens in politics.

I don't like this. I would not like the situation to remain as is. If no bank tax is created, I sincerely hope media, Main Street... get tired of speculators bashing and Tobin tax or the next couple of years will be very tough.

Ask stock traders about mutual funds orders for example...

One last time, I took Munnyhunny ES example and described what could be usable when witnessed, nothing rlated to the edge I was using. This thread was an error. I didn't want to share anything , just hearing stories of crazy edges going obsolete overnight. I'm sorry about it.

That's true. We are on the same page, even if I trade metals and energy as well.

Joke? As I understand it, you can't even see volume on forex, so spotting players...

No I didn't say that. It was just an example. You can spot someone from the way he trades, the algo he uses, the condition that triggers his trades, the size he shows, the time at which he trades... The trick is he figured my game and now has just twicked it a bit for it to be partially...

It was just an example for ES. My stuff was quite different.

Bingo. That's what I'm working on. However, no way it will work as before.

Yes that is because I am small that by spotting a big player, I can make money of him. You can't make money if you just know that one 1000 lots guy will play, but you can if you know at what time he will play for example, or what trick he uses before a big buying or a big selling , right?

LOL... This one was predictable like...Well, never seen one predictable guy like this guy,lol... That was the edge in fact.

There are MMs in some futures market, they are called LMMs. I was just able to spot a player in one market and I can tell you it was the same one on the other side of my trades for the last 5 months...You can spot players in liquid markets too, it's just harder.

It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I just lost more than half my current income on a "aha" moment from some dumb institutional( because of size ) execution trader. In in-depth, I am quite sure I would have figured it out faster than him...

Futures.

Don't want to tell. Still trying to figure out how to make money of the phenomenon even if the most "clear" edge is gone. Once it's really done, I will tell about it if you want. I know... My thread doesn't add much value...LOL

Yes, you are right about that. However, we are trying something with my brother. He is putting some extra custom part on my "business chair" so that my elbow is better sustained while trading...LOL

Hello, Shit. I had a pretty decent edge in one market since last autumn, was sizing up lately but the guy on the other side has figured it out. No more fills today, it had begun last week... Can't people stay dumb forever? I was making 500-1000 $ a day out of it, more than half what I make...

Go long now. 100 lots. You will make back those 25K in no time...You were so close to mastering trading...
