Hey qlai I will try to explain what I mean. I used to develop processes that would do things that you see in markets. The model was 'self...
I used ThinkorSwim to chart the spread. I want to point out something to the guys that will inevitably say trading these instruments using...
There is a ton of hate on HFT. Many on the forum love to blame their losses on it. When I watch the markets (and I have a real edge) I can see a...

Dieting, lifting weights, and running/boxing/martial arts or HIIT. These are the only things that really excite me in a similar way. Funny thing...
