Oy! Have you been inundated with multiple-choice tests as a lad? Strongly agree? Hehe! What happens when you disagree? Do you strongly disagree?
I took two surveys last week after I called customer service involving two different situations... Strongly Disagree Somewhat Disagree Neither Agree nor Disagree Somewhat Agree Strongly Agree I think I'm traumatized after seeing those survey options in about 15 questions. wrbtrader
I hear ya'. It is a terrible thing, these darn tests and surveys which ask for simply that multiple choice stuff. Sure, they ask for written feedback at the end, but nobody reads it. Because people today cannot read. They have to scan it into their phones/online devices, and have the devices TELL them what they should think.
In 10 years maybe only HFTs and retail algo traders will exist. Hopefully I'll be retired by then. wrbtrader
Algos don't ruin my day trading. because I focus on charts. I don't do arbitrage, and I don't look at order flow. In fact, no day traders ruin my day trading. Only one who ruin my day trading is me and my innerself. Blame thyself, not others.
Well nearly all of your top day traders that continued trading after the HFTs emerged reduced their trading frequency way down and increased their holding time frame - problem solved.
Perhaps, his strategy was a trend following one in which he could easily be the last one to buy after algos already bought and starts selling now. Counter trend strategy still works. See the most popular thread (Pivot trade) in Forex Factory....
