MN, The day you think you are smart is the day you start losing! Answer = More than 1 it appears! J_S
VO, What do you consider the most important factor for a trader who wants to make money consistently? J_S
I was smiling to myself when watching this video Make sure you make it full screen and watch it all - sometimes the obvious is just so obvious! J_S
Are you the chap who keeps cutting others down - I can't remember as I don't waste my time looking at posts from such people of limited mental capacity J_S
MN, This hint is for you! Look and see, the HFT It did real scare, left many bare, Zero Eight,opened the gate, Again maybe, just wait and see:eek: They use the C, to let them see What others say, where to today So fast unreal, they really steal Why so is that, they Big Fat Cat So what you say, no good today But is that true, for me and you One thing to know, about Algo Just like that, they all use MATH J_S
BC, MN asked me if I thought there was an "obvious" secret, to which I replied "more than 1 it appears". I would imagine the HFT trading above is beyond any persons reach on this site - unless someone wants to prove otherwise? The above fact shows what can and did happen on Jan14 2008. What is happening on a daily basis with all the Algo traders out there? I do not think they have gone away - maybe they are just running different programs at the moment and the likes of above will not kick in until the relevant criteria is in place to trigger the launch of such programs as above! So, you say, how does that affect me as a small retail trader? Simple, if the Big Boys are trading every day, would it not be wise to learn a bit about how they trade and what type of programs they use - after all, they have a little bit more money than nearly all of us put together J_S
