The most efficient method of trading

[stewbacca]

Totally agreed but these edges can get eroded very fast and there were a lot of these in cryptos but now you have to deal with crypto exchange risk which have become undefined.

Yes, I agree. A few years ago the crypto markets were teeming with glitches. It didn't take long for the bots to sniff them out. But volatility and fragmented market structure make the crypto markets still a prime place to look for glitches

Nothing succeeds like success.
Post an example or two of successful trades of this type from the past to get the ball rolling.

Like I said earlier, the closing/opening auctions on the NYSE and NSDQ offer "glitch opportunities". Buying Bitcoin on exchange A for $5000 and selling on exchange B for $6000 is another example. I would also consider this legendary monster trade as a "glitch trade"

Assuming that a PA trader might have a candlestick chart with a tools like moving averages or pivots in his toolbox to get the job done...

For a "glitch opportunities" trader such as yourself, what tools are in your toolbox that enable you to do the deed?

You make a valid point. Depends also what an edge is based upon.
If you know 90% of traders refuse to follow a certain tactic for
optimizing profit, then it's highly unlikely to lose that edge.

Also, imagine if one's edge is based upon the cyclic nature
of markets. If the market never ends, neither will the Cycles
that define it. Of course their phases may change,
but the same formulas/ratios are used to define the cycle.

The market is a multi-dimensional geometric solid (CYCLES within a square)
rotating on our chart screen.

Basically the same principles of physics governing
the structure of the atom and forces of energy
in cyclic action, also define the CYCLIC structure
of the markets.

Natural Law never changes, only we do.

Care to share an image of this multi-dimensional geometric solid? We can compare notes.

RTH - ETH "glitch"

Another "glitch" was how this post was constructed to derive additional feedback from "views" not available through a regular post

Tape reading is definitely a tool, as well as all the "proper" data feeds and order capabilities. Though TA still part of the process

Tape reading

Hey man, thanks for that.
Could you screenshot your tape reading tools in a typical live situation next time you get a chance?

 

[stewbacca]

For equities, a simple Level 2 box with all available data feeds does the job. Still plenty of charts/filters on my screen also tho

I will use the word “glitch” to describe a malfunction, mispricing, arbitrage, or inefficiency within a market. A good example in the equity markets are opening and closing auction strategies.

What glitch? What discovery? I seriously doubt you have any chance of success against the algos that specialize in arbitrage. They breathe this stuff on a nanosecond basis.

Like our girl has over here?
"...heavy dumping"
How long did it take you to not go cross-eyed reading those bad boys under pressure?
