Icebergs are tricky buggers.

Think about it this way... If price is oscillating upward and slowing in momentum and you want to iceberg the market... You estimate the market liquidity vs how big of a position you want to establish. Then you decide where to start iceberging the market.

If you have calculated out things correctly people knocking their heads against your brick wall of an iceberg should have filled most of your position by the time they give up trying to break through.

Once it starts to drift the other way and they panic then you can set a distribution alogo to stealthily get the best prices with nobody taking much notice.

I don't really care to run any markets... Some people still manage to find small stocks to run. Just follow the big boys around! Their rules are simple.


Some trader with a CME seat taught me about icebergs ages ago. That is what he called them.

I'm not jack you douche...

Anyway. A jack is an interesting guy. A lot of his theories are spot on.

The problem is the concepts are too abstract for most people to understand them because were dealing with the intricacies of human's gambling physiology.

Quote from RangeTrader:

Eg, like when we touched new highs today. I calculated out the probability of a reversal dip toward this weekend being around 90% from those new highs.

Pinky doesn't understand. Was he supposed to be shorting into the weekend?
