Hi all, I have my sister visiting me over the weekend. She's curious about what I'm doing, so I told her I could show her my workspace and what it looks like. Her first comment after seeing yesterday's 1 minute ES chart: "It looks very wobbly and wavey." Well observed, IMO. Next, a question: "How do you know you'll be able to buy/sell when you want to?" I then proceeded to tell her about how liquid ES is and figured I could plot volume and illustrate with some actual numbers. I showed her how one minute transacted 12 000 contracts, but also showed her a few one minute slots were the number was down to 300. This raised a new question from her: "Why did so many people want to trade 12 000 contracts at that price, but only 300 later on at that price?" My sister have absolutely zero clue about the markets or anything else related to finance, but I thought it was funny who she made good observations and asked what I think was fairly interesting and good questions that may elude other newbies. I've had similar comments from my nephew who's still a kid. For now, me and him call this the 'money game'. Asking good questions and finding answers to them is surely key if you want to figure out how markets work - instead of relying on answers and dogma feeded to you by others. Anyone had any similar experiences...?
