Lol, last time I traded the London session moves were made. Then I was trading US equities the last few months. Then I began to manage funds during European hours and was kind of bummed of the nothingness. I use to remember USDJPY made moves. I'd ...

Mind numbing isn't it? I bought at some support last week, was in the trade for a few hours and it had a range of like 10-15 pips. EURUSD has been good though on the carry

But see there are two different arguments that nobody seems to differentiate. The problem is not HFTs. The problem is knowledge of data prior to releases or insider information. That's the problem, and that is no different then hypothetical Soros ...

What does ripping a trader off mean? There is no basis. Because they can trade more shares faster than you? If you can only afford 10 shares of GE or .10 of EURUSD, them doing what they do is irrelevant. It's like Icahn buying $10M of AAPL. In the ...

Maybe you don't realize, but HFTs don't buy and hold. They trade millions of shares for fractions. They have spikes and squeezes, not a 30% trend. That's the bullshit people believe is a bull market. When I trade 250K shares for a dime profit, I did ...

Trading is binary, only two possible outcomes.... "It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another." -Gordon Gekko

Lol oh, I know. Although, "traders" get blown out cause it doesn't go their way and it's rigged. HFTs or no HFTs these traders still wouldn't be profitable.

A solid trade is a solid trade regardless. People getting wiped out trying to trade 4 seconds before NFP has their own issues to deal with outside HFT.

Nope, but I don't blame anyone but myself for losing trades. When you get caught up in the bullshit, but find scapegoats. Be sure not to blame the "weather" for a bad trade. How can they rip you off when you can out preform them buy buying a ...

High frequency trading ripping people off, or are people on the losing end just bad traders? I can understand the problem with flash crashes, but how do they have an advantage? High frequency firms, as a whole, have underperformed the market every ...

That's true. My comment was more generalized while using what you said as context. There are some people that truly think what they do is helpful.. The euro won't die because risk assets won't die. People really think the world is growing, so they ...
Citi: Why Does The Euro Refuse To Go Lower?

Responsible CB policy? That's bit of an oxymoron. Only thing CBs promote at boom and bust cycles. 40 global meltdowns since WWII directly tired to monetary policy.

Lol well of course they won't. I say they get to about $25B before they reverse. They'll never reduce rates on their own. Can't afford it. Yellen basically tossed guidance out the window and made everything based on several factors (i.e. whenever ...
