seems more like a chinese troll

I did this like five years ago, and I can't prgram either, don't ask me anymore how I did it but I used their standard excel sheet and changed that a bit. it wasn't too hard.

you could trade currency futures ...:)

I even saw the same person from ET in three different chat rooms :D

off course it's supply and demand, you'll only might not be able to short the short ETF that easily if they really reinstate the uptickrule everywhere, although I think they will make an exception to everything related to indices.

you guys worry too much ... :D

options and futures have no uptick rule, even so the ETF still trades on it's own accord, you still can go long when there is someone else willing to sell it.

they will just trade DUH !

not everything is backtestable, the way I trade this could never be backtested fully unless you had several tf's playing back in semi-realtime. That's the only way you would achieve the same results as life.

I wasn't too hot in march, but it improved very much again the last week, learned some additional lessons as we had lots of chop lately and that's not my best environment. Today's lots of chop again so sitting a lot on the sidelines and going over my last week diaries.

yes, it can be done, I know people who can. Question is can you, impossible if you don't spend at least a year in front of your screens at least 12 hours a day, keep a diary and really try to get what's going on and even then you'd have to be not too stupid and be a fast learner. Don't expect to...

funny thing is that when I was on the floor about 18 years ago, most options market makers hadn't even finished university, that didn't necesarily make them worse traders, some of the best were amongst them.

When I was a market maker (which was 10 years ago), I tried to get in like 5 min before the opening and then stayed glued to my screen for the next 8 hours or so just quoting everywhere and hedging. Their wasn't much analysis involved but just tried to gauge the evolution of vol to adjust...
