    Genuine compassion, I suppose :)

    In all seriousness, as long as you enter stop orders simultaneously, you should be okay, right?

    yeah, i agree....but it's my only option right now as my usual connection is out. I figure if some astute filipino hacker is bright enough to access my tiny account, he could only add to my bottom line...lol.

    edit: top is in here at 55?

  6. LOL!

    You probably know more about this than me, but I always believed that HFTs were active all day long, mostly scalping for quick profits.

    So, when volume increases suddenly, I conclude that it is a bigger entity or higher time frame player that is entering a directional trade.

    I`ve seen price spike many times on low volume as well.

  7. HFT accounts for no more than 28% of ALL futures markets...to suggest that HFT is accountable for 600000 of todays volume is way off base.

    The fact is volume is a below average day....and where would the specific advantage be for HFT is this price action today?...looks like dinasaurs..:confused:

  9. I said I think we'll be up for the week but there is room for a down day tomorrow if ya'll get carried away. Read between the lines there.

    edit: To clarify, tomorrow could be a continuation so I wouldn't short here, but I'd take my long profits to the bank
