Ok say the S&P is down 9% for the DAY.Do the BTFDs come out and start buying? Or do they say "hey maybe its for real this time" and sellers come in and start dumping huge volume of S&Ps and Nasdaq futures. Between late '07 and early '09 we sold off 56% or 57% top to bottom. Am i the only one that gets down right giddy when i think about a 50% selloff???!!!Talk about blood in the streets.
I Nailed the second part about the upwards recovery, in real-time, that you left out. So bug off, square pants. Typical amateur failed troll trader behavior...to pull out a random sentence out of context.
This was well known before and you can actually view it here https://www.cotrt.com/blog/trumpflynn-case The data is still visible on cotrt.pl
also if you follow nanex to see what is actually going on on es futures and dying liquidity, that tells a lot as what one should be looking for... times are changing, as market is. http://www.nanex.net/aqck2/4176/20130423.fES.M13.gif
does anyone know when/which medium the original ABC news headline came out? zerohedge tweeted @ 11:08am, but those of us watching ES know there was a huge jolt downwards, at 11:07am taking 10+ ticks in 1 go didn't jump on the initial trade downwards yesterday bc of tax plan / thought it was an initial flush downwards before moving higher -- then read zerohedge's tweet...but at least got the BTFD move upwards, so that's that
No, my point was that liquidity dries up on es futures in general, while on other related instruments it gets pumped. I posted a wrong link from nanex, I was reffering to this one:
iqfeed froze for a couple min when this happened, happened to me and several others from another forum. no bueno!
That's why they invented limit orders. Plan your work and work your plan. Know ahead of time the securities you want to buy in a selloff.
