Of course people move markets in the shortest of time frames. Baldwin, at one time, could move a market just by walking on to the floor if there was a perception that he favored a side.
Please don't buy into this mythical nonsense that markets are some sort of supernatural force. The reality is over the long haul no one can stand in the way of reality. But in the short term markets can be pushed. The FED can and does push for years where a guy like Baldwin may only get the ball rolling for five minutes (or less) to change that 4500 tick loss to a profit. Am I saying he can do it anytime he wants? Of course not but there are times when conditions permit it and times where they don't.

to push it short term may mean a few ticks in Bonds.900 lot is not even a level value on the DOM ladder in Bonds.Supernatural power may mean the FED though,who owns the market.sure Baldwin and alike can ''push'' it a bit to get out,and the FED usually closes its eye on it.
haha..and play with your LEGO a bit...
i venture to guess it`s a part of your strategy as well?LOL!!
Etfarb, as one hobyist, home gamer to another who makes their living in another manner (my apologies if i am wrong about that), I picked up and put down Soros's Alchemy of Finance 30 years ago and i wish that i did not. I can read it now(barely).
Get the book and sit down with google and Wikepedia and work and learn.
Then, on a daily basis watch stocks, currencies, bonds, rates, commodities worlwide.
Whether all that hard work will result in making money trading /investing is another matter.
Look at some of the guys around here....Mav, Cutten, Daal, Martin as others have said.
There is simply no way it can be reduced to what you ask in this thread. Incidentally,
I kown nothing.

For every conceivable good reason people think the market should move by using supply/demand, gov't reports, new products or faulty products, it is all a pipedream. There is no good or bad reason why markets move, let's face it, they often move because many (inexperienced) based on emotions, they fear missing out on a move. How many times good news comes out and stock takes a nosedrive, it is so funny to watch, how many times a company misses earnings by such a small amount and opens twenty bucks down, stops are hit forcing market to decline further, and too often market after a month is roaring back, just minus all the weak hands.
Just comes down to experience, commodities are the same, some will trade them based on supply/demand, I think that is pointless as it is usually factored into price already.
I just want to Tailcoat wherever the market wants to go based on longer term trend.
Hope all have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving
