Quoting OldQuant

It's kind of like what Pa Kettle said to his wife when she asked him to do something: "Can't do everything in one day, Ma."
Right, Rome wasn't build in a day. On a side note, when looking back on my larger wins over my career, one thing that sticks out to me is that those wins where almost always in smaller illiquid markets. Oats, Rice, Lumber, Palladium, and Silver. Sometimes I wonder why that is. Is it because those smaller markets where prone to sharper moves, as a result of less liquidity, or was it easier for me the read them and the participants in them?

Oats, Rice, Lumber, Palladium, and Silver.
Couple of my favorites in there. And, all physical delivery markets, and (except maybe for silver nowadays) deeply used for commercial hedging. So I don't think it's the thinness. The hands holding the open interest were/are stronger. Less speculator nonsense, good forecasts and fundamentals. (BTW, have you seen that oats is now the price that corn used to be?)

Quick war story and going to bed (though not yet, probably long if I don't hurry up here). The first time I ever took delivery of a futures contract was a 5000 oz silver, totally by error, during the Hunt run. Morning of the first notice day. Tendered it, but still needed to settle it. "Uh, Dad, I need a loan of about $20,000. Pay you back tomorrow." Still feel foolish.

Pulled right off, still short. But I have a feeling I'm going to wake up long - and wrong.

Good. We could swap some good war stories then. I have a couple of good silver ones myself. Oats and Lumber...well those are my all time classics. For a couple of years traded them almost exclusively. Get some rest, good chatting with you, PTL.

your stop seems way too tight, might see a slight retrace b/c of previous highs around 6170s

this has nothing to do with hft, this is a common behaviour to place big offers above the market pice and remove them soon after. hft even is more about frontrunning large orders, therefore best practiced on dark liquidity pools like goldmans sigma x where they can easily frontrun their clients.

In high frequency trading u show a huge position and quickly withdraw it fooling the market of a trend developing.

Trust your charts not the order flow.

no, just 61.8. expecting slight bounce at 3589.4. 3603.5 should not be difficult to overcome.

thinking about cutting it... volume is rising, and rising...
