Maybe take a look at this to start with - ‘‘Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act’’ https://www.sec.gov/about/laws/wallstreetreform-cpa.pdf-

This one also gives a good look at the action from inside the pit:

What makes my life easy is all my trades have profit targets - if price is not acting right in some cases I will move my stop up - the kind of moves I am after are hundreds of basis points - so I have to let the profits run.

There was heavy volume on he VX yesterday an again today - the last time we saw volume that high was 9-13-2016 - I was wondering what that was about. That could be a catalyst for another big surge up.

Sorry man - my bad. My trading is on track. Maybe I am just old & cranky and need to chill out in the sun today. I do miss the days when L2 was untainted by the spoofing.

Up to 90% of all posted quotes are HFT spoofed. L2 was once a good trader tool prior to around 2004 when HFTs came on the scene. IB sends snapshots of quotes - not exactly real-time. There are much better data feeds over IB if you want to avoid lag - but for a deep discount broker what can you...

obsessed with the market - you mean like this?

Good investors don't need margin and bad ones get killed by it. - Warren Buffet

That's the nature of swing trading. In general the best swing traders expect only approx 10% of the trades to be the big winners for the year. The idea is with decent risk/trade mgmt the other 90% of winning & losing trades either contribute slightly to the bottom line or scratch each other out...

Just out of curiosity, who are you referring to when you say "our" Our - meaning those trading classic TA from the wider time frames - primarily from weekly charts & maybe daily down to 1-2 hour charts to fine tune the entry. From the interviews on chat w/traders I have heard a few traders...

I never trade off of news - but would like to know what may be going on when huge Futures or Forex moves go down after hours. Price action historically always precedes the news - not the other way around. I could see some of it leaking closer to real-time via Twitter. I bet every HFT is trading...
