perhaps the ball service seller is using it for front running as he issues it after he is already in a index position and gets out on the small move it creates.
Quote from ETUserisme:
Specifically, if you look at the timing of Rennick's posts, if directional, then more often than not, the market has a little burst in the direction of the prediction.
So, say the ball says down. Rennick could go short on the ES and immediately places a BTC say 1.5 points lower, then he issues his post and goes to the golf course. A number of people act on his post, the market reacts a little and when R gets home...
Not saying he does it. Just wondering. Or do you think that he issues the Ball's predictions from the natural goodness of his heart? I really would like people's opinions.

I have a question: "The Ball" offers an edge to overall market direction, more often than not. But... where & when does one enter exactly, precisely in order to profit from such predictions?
Said another way, there is no way to "front run" or sabotage the calls... they are too generic in nature. What is a trader to do? Hit buy or sell the moment they read its prediction? Which prediction? The actual call? Rennick's relay?
Not to mention each user getting the "news" and then acting upon it live in the market is a deliberate process, not an instant event.
Nice bias filter, far better than nothing, worth $30 per month. Other than that, it offers nothing per specific trade entries that lets a trader use it exclusively for profit over the long haul NOR can it be overwhelmed by traders' volume.

However, when you have time, I would appreciate more details as to why you post the PM predictions.
