HFT from a Central Bank Perspective

Recommended Posts

interesting - good find.

 

I did find it interesting that their idea of price discovery was meant to be fundamentally based and that those applying technicals or other ideas might not be welcome (a general summary)

When you think most markets need speculators to take the opposite positions to people it does make you wonder..... next time you look at the charts - have a fundamental reason why as well just to be sure! :)

I think the person nailed it - while HFT has many forms, HFT in some predatory disruptive forms will likely be banned, moderated, regulated. Trader IDs might make them more accountable and hence might be all that is needed.

Maybe they had best look at the culprits that allow this - the exchanges.

My personal view on technicals is that they (the levels) are created by opinions on fundamentals. But that's a discussion for another time!

 

When they Author lists & defines all the underhanded goings on, It really does show trading up for what it is...Swimming with sharks.

yes....but then you kind of get into the Efficient markets debate - totally unrelated to HFT and speculation......personally I am happy to be wrong in my opinion of the fundamentals but right in how i trade other opinions. :) - another thread topic.

always has been - technology has changed, the participants have changed the underlying drivers remain the same!

It has always amazed me that people in the markets often think that other participants are there as a charity - While many may end up giving that is certainly not their intention.

Stocks haven’t done anything in several days. Although this may seem like an overall neutral event, I see it as bearish. The S&P made a new intraday high while most other major indices did not. Instead of resolving this divergence with a surge higher to bring the other indices to new highs as well, the market has instead gone flat. It’s not good to reach a critical level, diverge, then go flat. In addition, there is no volume at these levels. I can’t calculate government tinkering, but on the surface, the evidence I just listed combined with the daily MACD, and other momentum indicators, rolling over and a subtle reversal candle that has held for over a week tell me the next big move in stocks should be down.

    • 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!
