Yeah, except it's not sometimes but most/all of the times. If it's automated, they can look at the code. Basically, it's illegal to intentionally manipulate price. If your strategy sends non bona fide orders, your strategy is questionable. I suspect that the only reason why it's illegal is...

I am glad to hear that. Watch starting at minute 3.

Sounds like he already have :)

Imho, with the style of trading you describe(high vol low floats), you are not giving yourself enough rope. Maybe if you trade your way up to 11k before increasing size. Also, IB is not a good choice for these stocks - Linux or not.

Lol, everyone is fully automated until the draw down becomes unbearable. I remember one automated trader saying - we learned that although a system looked great even with 25% DD, in reality we could not stomach more than 15% :)

Interesting ... is that from a particular book?

Dollar Cost Averaging?
