{quote} Man what are you talking about? The algo tracks the price, and there are 4 basic algo behaviors. What the picture shows would usually be a chasing algo, but the fact it's distant from price doesn't fit that role; moreover, it switches sides from below to above price as if to signal to other algos in what direction should they push price. Does anybody actually understand what I'm talking about?

{quote} Algos did not create themselves. There are people behind them and those people control the markets, known as ''the big boys.'' That's what I'm talking about. When you see an algo in the DoM that's behaving like this, you're looking at a big player, because small high frequency players don't operate on this scale. I encourage you to watch the video I posted yesterday, and tell me if you understand anything the guy says.

{quote} Thanks for sharing that.. excellent video. I think that he hit the nail on the head. Interesting he did mention the increase in margins. And the resulting Cascade of stop losses being run Definitely not a random distribution event it was manipulated well orchestrated. That in a nutshell is how the market works to take the money from the many and distribute it to the few..

{quote} Or should we say ''to add on what they keep.'' BlackRock obviously keeping the vast majority of its silver for itself and avoiding contract deliveries, all while taking on more positions. They won't allow to be short squeezed. That being said, the calls on SLV and GLD must expire worthless until the end of February, but let's not forget the puts as well. We are in a situation where prices must be kept neutral, not too high not to low, just in the middle where nobody can take deliveries. Meanwhile, they are filling their bids and buys massively...

{quote} Perhaps RickM will chime in.. he has an excellent understanding of all of this...much more than me I know you spoke of options...and I have looked at them only for the sense of seeing what levels are of interest...where is the money sitting so to speak. I have spoken before with things like CL round numbers and halves... It's where institutional money comes in... All part of the big picture I gather

{quote} ES is about it at the moment... I should also say that I think we may see more of these "sigma" events in the future.. with China lowering exposure to Treasuries and other countries as well... I think this will cause other moments like we had in metals... There is so much going on with restructuring global trade and thus money flow at the moment... Far far above my comprehension I only attempt to trade what I see lol... Otherwise I read too much into things and get a bias ..which seems to more often than not bite me... But I definitely enjoy...

{quote} Well, one has to filter a lot of bs in regards to all of these events in the world and economies. The media and the "number makers" always sell narratives, for example the "strong jobs" in January right. Simply distractions from the real things, which is that things will only get worse, more money will be printed, the dollar will slowly fade as a reserve currency (Chinese Yuan is already used for settlements in some central banks), countries will not come to agreements with the US (who wants to make deals with a troublemaker?), etc. etc....
