Obviously you are not a profitable trader .............

The only obvious thing is you are troll with at least 7 different screen names.

I am not a troll. I am not trying to start a fight, just do not make yourself look dumb with a comment like HFT s rule the markets.

I wonder how many of you know how many HFT firms have failed larger than Japan in 1945...........

That brings up an interesting point Bob. What happens to all the HFT servers over in Jersey city. Are they going to go offline. I know the have redundancy but how much. Because as we all know HFT rules the market not Waxie. If they go offline we got a whole new market temporarily

my guess is go to redundancy and have lower volumes. I think whats happening today is the same thing that happened when the chicago river flooded (before elctronic) and all markets seized up

Well I will take the opinion over Nanex and their presentation any day over yours.

Continue as you will I have better things to do than to feed a troll.

here's my $0.02 USD

we can't do anything about the market being closed other than talk about it on ET

after 9/11 the market was closed and reopened down big so the shorts can't complain about that

i won't even mention the fact that shorts and longs are always at risk of some black swan event - remember how the shorts were screwed on expiry day when bernacke did that bailout and the futures went limit up friday morning - a lot of traders got hosed on that one

And equal and opposite amount of trades were profitable.
