Here you go.... Rebalancing... No conspiracy, just things going on one is not aware of. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-24/brace-for-the-most-expensive-manic-minutes-of-the-trading-year?srnd=markets-vp

Adding to what Handle says, it is about hundreds of trades. As soon you start twisting yourself around a single or a couple of trade it is a bad place to be not only consistency for the long run, but also psychologically of second guessing. Ask yourself, "Am I here to make a few dozen trades...

This sounds like a manual trader describing algo trading. OP, respectfully, "Systemic" uses different concepts than manual trading systems. This difference is where the "rubber hits the road". GAT, thanks for the post and the list. It is helpful to me.

Soy, You might like TC2000. An ancient but still a active-supported system. It has a simple scripting language to do custom scans VERY EASY. The EOD version is very cheap. I think 200 a year. It was easy to scan EOD for criteria, and just hitting the space bar advanced to the next...

I think it is more pervasive that most people think. Many people live on "agitation". They do not feel correct or feel right unless there is drama in their lives. They live on an emotional treadmill. From a TCM (Chinese medicine) standpoint, drama (FOMO, YOLO, et al) helps squeeze out...

I would add to FGR's comments, that a basket trade approach helped me a lot when doing this. It helped in several ways: 1) Allows one to spread allocations across multiple stocks 2) 1 opens up the "sympathy" trade option 3) easier to manage the order generation all at once 4) easier to manage...

Moneza-Rob, This is intended as helpful feedback. The first post reads like a buzzword (AI generated), print copy. :) Heavy marketing, like the website. These days everyone slaps on the "AI" moniker on just about anything, such that is becomes meaningless. Anyone who knows AI, knows it is...

What ST said. The tracking is always off day to day. I think there are better ways to track, longer term, an index and get leverage . The 2x-3x ETFs are good tools for short term trades. The base calculations are easy. Then applying them to a variety of scenarios and time frames takes a...

Work hard, work smart, always seek out ways of meaningful improvement. All 3 are required. Had a conversation with employee #63 at MSFT, the other day. We talked about our current projects, and he summed it up well. "We never stop hustling". Talked with a 23 yo, and he asked what is...

Like most momentum plays, go early and manage the trade tail end, or go after the crash, if there is really value there. But don't go with the crowd. Likewise don't justify a bad trade with a small allocation. Any entry should be good enough to justify a normal allocation.

You need at least 2 years on C2 and thousands of trades. Also remember C2 matching engine is not build for medium speed trading. Fills are "sync'ed" with the broker anywhere from under a second to 2 minutes. Clearly not a day traders solution. If you are using only the C2 engine and not...

Yeah it has to bounce along the bottom and hold for awhile. This is not a single dip, whiplash, buy the dip scenario. Also you will see it when the ES 1000 contract blocks start flying by on the buy. I assume these are players taking consolidated position while their stock block trades get...

What does begin proud have to do with trading, except a red flag warning? :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

If you seek advice from a forum, then you should not be trading and be on paper. Number one is to protect your capital so you can some day trade again, if you so desire. That being said, sometimes damage is so bad that there is very little more that can happen, e.g. price is down 90%. That is...

It is not like one has to code everything. There are vast libraries available. Likewise, there are so many examples available too that allow one test to understand and modify to suite a need. These days it is mostly about putting pieces together. Once one sets up the dev environment, it is...

The OP is just another ego poster. Who gives a rat's ass? Totally no actionable babble. I was more entertained by the posters from a few quarters ago who wanted "refunds" when they got caught with limit stops that were skipped in fast markets. At least they were "cute" thinking trading...

First, good job catching a nice move. However, there were dozens of "methods" or signals that allowed for catching this move. It would be good to seek out cases where the exact same entry and exit conditions you used did NOT work out so well. Find the ratio of where it worked and did not...

After the OP's "call", it is now premarket: June 11, 2022, 10:06 PM PDT Updated on June 12, 2022, 5:35 PM PDT Equities shed about 2% in Japan and South Korea. US futures slid, with Nasdaq 100 contracts down 1.7% and those for the S&P 500 1% lower. So if you have a long NQ-ES, the tail end of...

Personally, Never Trade Events. Always wait for the initial reaction and then the reaction, then assess. There are too many big players making plays or unwinding plays that it is like triple blind guessing. Trade what you see and you see better when things are not working out cross big currents.

Not because they are right or wrong, but because of the psychological need to make such calls. Sophomoric at best behavior at best. Moronic at worse. A "master of the universe" complex and trading never work out until the person learns enough to know it is a fools errand and they are the fool...
