They gotta start thinking for themselves, reading and quoting silly websites will never get them there. Fine if I am branded a pariah, I for one will not hold back when it comes to saying what needs to be said.
Cloggie...

Dial it down a little, mate. A lot of successful traders in this thread. Just because everyone ISN'T (<--edit) dropping serious coin/month on a "serious" news feed does not make them any less of a trader.

Whatevs...do your thing.

I agree, I did come down like a ton of bricks.


This thread has been very good. Traders form and state their own opinions, we get some really good discussion and public thought processes going here. I am a bit of a keeper of that spirit of what we (at least most of us) are doing here.

I have always seen this thread as one for traders by traders. A place where we can shoot the breeze, discuss setups if we are so inclined, but generally discuss the overall sentiment of the markets, with each of us picking our own entries and exits depending on our own risk appetite and MM.

I really don't like to see this thread going down the road of so many others where undocumented sources and dubious websites get quoted ad nauseam.


Yes, I was tough on Mr H and if I hurt his feeling, I unreservedly apologise, I just wanted to nip it in the butt.



If I am wrong about what this thread is trying to achieve and why this place is so much different then anything else out there, please say so and I will stand corrected.

Most of us here spend all afternoon and evening talking about this setup. For 90% of us, this here is no surprise at all.

We just don't need "explanations" after the fact, thank you very much.

None of us are here for a popularity contest, fuck, we all vouched for each other already and the muppets can't get in anyways.

Like I stated earlier, I apologise to H, and will happily do so again. But please can we start thinking for ourselves here, without the rubbish references.

That's what this thread should be about.


Friends, H, no hard feelings. I just used you as an example.



Case closed as far as I am concerned.

I can't completely make out the time, and I don't capture that pair, but here's IB's ECN-based chart for the last hour. Not there.

If you were able to pull a trade out of there, then, at least on the basis of this little evidence that they didn't have the ability to lay it off on interbank, you should get the Robin Hood Merit Badge: clipping a market maker who had to eat his side of the trade.

Could be IB's charts filtered it out, but that's what they're showing.
