The definition of "fast" is strictly TICKS PER MINUTE. It's not based on volume, it's based on ACTIVITY. Now some would argue it's based on Volume per Day....but I disagree.

1) stock once was over $200...albeit overvalued there....now at a fraction of that price 2) new management 3) famous hedge fund manager on the board of directors 4) still in a growth industry

Yeah but does BarChart support tick-level data ?

My bad...I was thinking of Martin Shkreli of KaleBios infamy. Still....I heard the former CEO was not that good.

Debt-Schmedt.....Doesn't matter. I think Uber is about 30 billion in debt and they're going IPO soon. Debt is cheap.

You bet....previously, a criminal was in charge....

Ackman's now in control with a new board and new CEO. The other day, VRX fell to 28, but that lasted a nanosecond and it bounced right back up over 30. I think it's a steal down here at 30. In fact the entire biotech sector is now looking cheap.....relative to 6 months ago.

All dips in MCD have been bought past 6 months. However, it's really looking toppy now....130 could prove to be resistance. Idea: Sell 130 calls at this level. Purchase the 135 calls as a stop-loss. Bearish call spread. Worst case on a 10 lot is a $5k hit.....which seems extremely unlikely.

I somewhat agree. I keep wondering ... what is the split between art and science ? This harkens back to Navinder Sarao who was a superb discretionary trader (art).... yet was huge on algos as well (science).

Interesting...thus confirming the popularity of algo trading.....especially for emini index futures and forex. He also confirms the fact that Ninja Trader has become a strong platform for automated trading.

Yeah, but what about the Pro fees ? I'm trading under an LLC and that is considered Pro.

It apears the Centerpoint offers Real Tick Pro and Sterling Pro as their trading platforms. Further research indicates that Real Tick has no real auto-trading API....it uses a macro approach to generating automatic orders. So you are stuck with Sterling Pro for the most part....the API of which...

I don't quite understand this. Can you provide an example ? IB doesn't support this type of order, correct ?

Exactly. There was absolutely hardly any volume at the 80 level, yet look how it was supported ! I've been skeptical of market profile techniques.

Right now China's growth is keeping equity markets up.... but I think it's akin to plugging holes in a leaky dam. Eventually, it will collapse (i.e. the equity markets). Big question is : when ?

Dude - that is his salary...he's a soccer player with phenomenal skills. I have no idea of the size of his account....definitely in the tens of millions.

Yeah, but when you look at Vardy, he's kind of nerdy-looking....not that much of a good-looker. Still, the money wins the chicks....I think he's making like $150,000 per WEEK !!!

Exactly....as Stop-Limit is only for those who hold overnight IMHO.

I wonder if those price bands get triggered when OCO orders are placed (One Cancels the Other) ?

Now this chick would be highly motivating, no ? This is Jamie Vardy's GF.
