Has the increase in the % of algorithmic trading changed in any way how you read the market since you started trading?

What's the difference between tick volume and transaction volume? Do some markets only offer one or the other, and some both?

Hi, I am looking for a UK stockbroker preferably without requiring a big minimum balance. I would like to buy about £1300.00 shares to hold for at least a month. Many thanks,

A bit discouraging. Can I re-state the original post, for long directional plays either cash or long/short option spreads that cost you premium up front which of cash or options is the best or worst? It sounds like options is worse if i'm reading you right, because of bid-ask spreads being...

thanks praying it wont take 4-5 years for me to learn thanks you must mean the count of the bars that were part of winning trades. I was thinking my statement would follow from the beginners rules I keep reading of - 'cut your losers quick' and - 'let your winners ride'.

Summing the length of time you held losing trades for and summing the length of time you held the same number of winning trades for should show you held winners for more time than you held losers. I haven't started trading yet but this seems like something that ought to hold true for the...

Okay if a real shocker hits the markets, say, on Monday and the sh*t really hits the fan provoking a big & fast flight to quality, if the client is still adamant about these two, where would he/she put her money? Time horizon here is probably short term, and I am thinking Gold over Treasuries...

Interesting, does your recommendation have a time horizon? Any gold-based ETF ? What about under more general market conditions, e.g., where there are no strong directional expectations for gold or treasuries..

A client has money to spend and must choose between Treasuries or Gold - this is hypothetical - he/she is adamant and won't consider any other asset classes/markets. It doesn't have to be now but in general, any given moment. I'm trying to figure out, what would swing one over the other. Any...

Does anyone know what are the most volatile Gold mining stocks, and how you'd find out?
