Possible shake-up by market makers

I also saw OP said forex market is scam.
So don't take this guy seriously.

He also show on other issues that he has problems with his mind.

Yesterday was Russell rebalancing. It can cause big swings. Couple that with a asset rebalancings and you could have a very volatile close (with the market makers trying to exploit these flows). It happens all the time.

I would be more specific and say it was a relentless rally, rather than volatile. To me volatile means up and down, so both longs and short get stopped out until the ultimate up or down side becomes obvious. (kind of like FOMC action sometimes for the first few minutes after 2pm)

So if this was rebalancing, and all the markets were bid heavily, does this to you mean people are rushing into equities thinking the bottom is in? And if market makers are exploiting these inflows, does this mean they overshot it and hence there will have to be a retracement back down since it went up too fast? Curious about your insights.

So it was the MM's doing it's just that it wasn't related to retail traders. I went back to the date of a previous S&P rebalancing when Tesla joined the index and you are right, there was a similar EOD price pattern as well. Where can you find out about those rebalancing events? I think it would be useful to find out about them ahead of time so I can plan my trading accordingly.

Thanks

Yes I have heard of the SOES Bandits. They gave rise to one of the largest automatic order-matching ECN Island which is what I think how exchanges should work.

I don't know what SOES is, but I guess it relates to order matching in stock trading. I could look it up, sure...But it must have been a thing, because does anyone here remember a user named "SOESwasbetter"?

I REMEMBER that nick, and always wondered what that was about. Well, now I know. :)

SPX went up by 14 points within just the last 10 minutes of the market!! Unreal!! SPX was totally flat throughout the entire six and half hours of trading not moving an inch and yet at the very last 10 minutes, it shot up by 14 points. If that's not the market makers pushing to shake out positions from the retail traders so they get paid, I don't know what is. After all, they know all of our positions under this Payment For Orderflow arrangement.

Feel free to give your insights here but this is how I feel.

you need to substantiate your statement with facts / data / evidence.
If not, your writeup is considered as garbage / nonsense.

Look at how flat the prices are from 11:00 AM to 14:30 and then it slowly crept up but still not moving much until this one big long candle within the last 10 minutes.

SPBL program buying. One of the strongest trend days. All day long. Every time tries to go down every pb is bought and prices continues up. One way to play this is just keep adding to a long position on every PB then exit before EOD.
