    Day Traders Dream

    The OP points out the trader uses "activity" to signal "buy" or "sell". I agree. The time offset between the signal and the price beginning movement is 1 1/2 hours which is a lot of time so the trader remains relaxed, mostly. You add the pragmatic aspect which is the "capacity" of the market...

    The OP said he is an academic. As such he wishes to know why, he says. This thread is rolling along mostly on the basis of PA. Certainly money is made through price action by trading on a platform connected to the market. The mental part of trading comes from the acquisition of knowledge and...

    IRS claims I owe $5000

    The IRS makes mistakes. They do not like to deal with their errors. Once they respond in writing that they do not understand, then it is wise to call your Congressional rep and have the IRS Congressional liaison take over getting the IRS off your back.
