Stop selling winners too soon (still guilty of this).
NG overnight, again. A huge, 2.0 cents burst attack, 130 contracts in microseconds, followed by 0.5 cents more to trap any robots who quickly...
Jump, etc do not hide- they claim their different strats don't talk to each other, and the CME believes them. If you saw the movie "back to...
I've tried to give examples that were stark. The time of day, the size of the trades, all executed in microseconds. The CME markets I trade in are...
Yes, in that the best trades for me have been relatively straightforward ones related to how far up or down the market is, on the day and/or based...
My theory is simple: since the Longs bought from the machine, the machine knows how Long the balmarket is (namely, how short he, the machine is),...
Forgot to add above, you might have gotten into your trade at 3:28:30, a nice rhythmic time to get into a trade. One hour later, here is "the...
One more, for the road. 3:41AM ET, Prompt Natural Gas The entire process- dig hole, collect(/rob) contracts, fill hole back up- in one second....
I'm being very careful. The first "move" had no buildup at all and the second was immediately undone, making it not a "move" at all. (same guys...
Forbes disappointed me the most, as I (perhaps surprisingly) thought he would be fairer. He advocated exempting capital gains and dividends from...
Almost all of the so-called "flat tax" proposals are extremely regressive with "asterisked" lower taxation rates for sources of income correlated...
Just had another "hole"- Crude a nice value hold after collapsing $1 right after the spike above. So an attack at 11:59:35 of 15 cents down (280...
Here was just a price-"defending" attack. This one pushed exactly 25 cents. These attacks always have an exact target price push, in increments of...
Once, I worked with a guy who had (at that time) the largest loss ever for a commodities trader, $75 million (SARS, Jet Fuel, for those in the...
Sorry- by "Base" i meant to say for anyone who does any amount of trading.
Good stuff Tommo. I'm much the same, including the tiering with regards those others who either have less fear or have internalized the bankruptcy...
The CME's relationships with its "liquidity providers" are open and are exactly as I described. I'm not here to focus on profitable trading....
My chart doesn't work well on this day, but this is last Thursday- Thanksgiving- and look to the left over 15 minutes from 12:39PM ET - 12:54PM...
They are including CME in the base package which is actually a very nice perk.
I don't have a true tick feed so I don't see the orders.
