Are you looking at charts with just the day session or day + overnight? You shouldn't be seeing gaps all over the place if you're looking at the full session. ES is recently more volatile - however this volatility is just about the right level. Prior volatility was too low IMO. There's nothing...

Heck at the rate we're going, and with the apparent disinterest of Millenials (in basically everything it seems), it might be the end of the markets in general.

Remember when he was doing like 80 lots in overnight YM or something a few months back? I was like "damn."

Probably 2000. Music stopped at that party like a needle getting knocked off the record.

The whole fraction of a penny thing needs to straight go.

If I'm making a macro based swing trade I'm definitely not looking for 1.5x, more like 10x.

If entries were so easy and exits so hard you'd just make a shit ton of trades and lock in profits with a stop. Repeat over and over again and build up capital. Truth is it ain't that easy. Both entires AND exits are difficult - plus you've got direction as well.

1940.25 long filled. BUY.

You don't want to be buying at 2000 you want to be buying at 1940-1950. Going long at 2000 is probably past "fashionably late."

Correct - which is why I was implying that its entire selling point is to tap into the impulsiveness of dumb money. Just CLICK HERE TO BUY 100 shares of FAHQ stock!

Guys, they'll use the system to mark the trades as "retail" orders. A tiered system is probably NOT what is wanted. Also, the issue with HFT is NOT speed - its fragmented exchange vs SIP quote latency arbitrage. They're literally ripping people off left and right. Beware the Trojan horse of...

The funny thing about the Fed is they'd be more apt to hike rates with the market actually being up vs where it was previously with permabulls popping the anti-anxiety meds. Where I will call double bullshit is if the Fed raises (won't be in September) and the market just keeps on going up...

Aka TREND FOLLOWING.

It's a dumb statement because it's the embodiment of a strawman argument. In essence, using a faintly related thing to argue or attempt to discredit something else entirely. Just because Joe public doesn't know how to trade in the most effective fashion doesn't mean that's what trend following...

Dumb money magnet.

CQG might have this. Aside from that while your synthetics won't be perfect, they might be good enough for whatever it is you're trying to analyze (which hopefully isn't any kind of arbitrage).

It's not that at all. It's quite sinply that I've got better things to do than be chained to a computer watching every single tick like some kind of DOM-addicted rat. Time is money.

The game will be played for as long as possible because they HAVE to keep playing it. It's like that bus from the movie Speed - they've overextended themselves to such an incredible amount that can kicking is an utter necessity to avoid the inevitable market collapse. If there's anything you...

IMO, choose 2 avenues based on your account capitalization: SPY options or ES options. The former screw you on taxes. The latter are going to be a 100 times easier to hedge (vs SPX) and you're probably going to get filled earlier.

Preaching to the choir man. Just try to find a way to make money until the music officially stops and then try and find a way to make money after that as well. These guys are collectively going full retard and the end result won't be pretty.
