Usually Bloomberg will write an article about investors/traders pulling money out of the markets. Over the more recent years...I've seen a few articles use the words "in record numbers"...

Very true. I started seeing common complaints about Emini ES volume and volatility since the summer of 2015. In fact, there use to be a website that publicly posted the world's top 50 volatility trading instrument and top 50 liquidity trading instruments. That site closed early 2015 but I do...

Don't forget...don't get married to your trading instrument especially when its not suitable for trading. Therefore, find something else to trade that's more suitable for trading via your trade method. Thus, you can find something else to trade whenever Emini ES futures isn't suitable for...

Just use statistics to your advantage. Analyze your trades going back several years or more to determine what time of day you tend to lose money and what time of day you tend to profit. For example, if your stats show you tend to lose money from 12pm noon - 2pm... Don't trade 12pm noon - 2pm...

The VIX does in fact move when you see decent swings on the S&P. 1) Your use of the phrase "VIX didn't budge much" implies it did move but just not in a way that you expected or wanted or use to seeing. 2) You need to look at the historical intraday movement of the S&P 500 Index, SPY or Emini...

The dietician notice after several consultations with my mother from a list of foods and the preparation process of those foods...my mother was a heavy salt eater. She put salt in everything when she really didn't need too (e.g. on corn, in frybread, soups with meats like fish/deer/rabbit/beans...

I have a "low blood pressure" problems due to a serious illness the fall of 2016. Yet the problems from low blood pressure is almost just as bad as the problems from high blood pressre. Yet, I personally know many with "high blood pressure" problems. 1) Go see a doctor an 2) If you have high...

When I was a teenager...a girlfriend of mine revealed she has maintained a "diary" of her life since 10 years old. I often wonder about the purpose of such. She said its the same reason why people take pictures/videos of their kids growing up, their family changing over the years, special...

Yes, I use to talk about this a lot here when I arrived to this forum. I've done it for about 15 years but they contain more than just my trading...they contain everything (including the audio) of my personal life that occurred in my home office via the audio that's correlated with what's...

Yes but I was curious because other world markets have exchange rules in place that put limits on algorithms. Thus, due to the fact that foreign markets are big players in the U.S. markets...I'm curious how much foreign algorithms are involved in U.S. markets. This is similar to foreign...

Depends on the definition for "fully automated" means to that somebody that you're referencing. I read about 2 years ago in a financial magazine that 65% of the trades in Emini ES futures were via "algorithms". Therefore, lets talk percentage. What's the percentage needed to be for it to...

You're talking about your health (your life). Therefore, pay to have the full blood tests performed and see a neurologist for brain scans (a good one will do several different types of scans especially the one that specifically looks at the blood flow in your brain)...the problem with your...

I highly recommend you contact a "securities lawyer". You can then determine if it's worth your time to to after the PRVT folks. Also, you stated that brokers are a FAKE. Find a new broker that you trust. Its very common for traders to try many different brokers throughout their careers because...

Looks like easy money too in the opposite direction "after" it spikes upwards. P.S. I don't trade options. I'm commenting about your chart.

I'm glad you only lost 5% via the high risk of speculating in penny stocks. Too many people lost a lot more than that percentage or they lost their life savings. No matter how mad you're about losing that 5%...do not risk any more on penny stocks. Have you tried Bitcoins for that 5% high...

Try the strategy with real money via the minimum size. Seriously, I'm sure you've must had estimated how much profits you would have made in that 10 year backtesting ?

Breakouts/breakdowns of trendlines, and or support/resistance are not viable trade signals all by themselves. What is meant is that you still need a specific trade signal that differentiates a breakout from another breakout or a trendline from any other trendline or a trade signal that...

I just learned something new. I never heard of that before. I bet IB didn't put that in their explanation guide to explain their ticker price labeled "ES".

I'm curious too. Why would they display something called "theoretical ticker prices" if you can't get buys or fills at that price.

I first heard about Bitcoin in early 2011 when two friends were debating about it. After long debate...one joked that he owns the moon and can sell it to the other guy (one defending Bitcoin) for a cheap price of 5k. We all laughed about it. Then mid 2011 someone from ET was talking about it...
