Computerized Trading

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone - Quick question: Are there markets that are less susceptible to the effects of computerized robot trading?

 

Yes ofcourse. For example the Pakistani Stock exchanges are not susceptible to... because regulators there do not allow co-location and program trading.

 

icon10.gif OK I was just kidding. The effects of such electronic trading may effect only sub-minute scalpers. I mean US markets are good enough.

Hmmm...Maybe I should rephrase, and be more specific. From the little that I know (which is quite little), at least some of the whipsawing that occurs in the ES can be attributed to computerized trading. What I'm trying to determine is if there are some markets (say for example, grains) where this type of trading doesn't occur as much.

A commodities market would be a lot harder to write a program, but I don't doubt that they are out there. A signal such as unusual volume would be a pretty easy tip off.

I couldn't tell you the technical aspects of why the whipsawing occurs on the ES, but it seems to occur at major news events. So make sure you know when scheduled news releases are coming. Those huge price whipsaws that happen suddenly often define the short term high or low. So there is information to be realized from those events.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
