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.

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.
I think that is EXACTLY what this place is about.

Listen mate...I'm an opinionated bastard...I really am. BUT...there are a LOT of good people here. I respect their opinions. I don't care how they form them, and what sources they base them on. Their opinions even help shape my own opinion in some cases. I bet if we did a poll here...in excess of 90% of the people here would say they scan FL...maybe less on ZH, but probably still pretty high. I personally have one window in Firefox...my "news" window...there are 18 different tabs (sites) that I am constantly scanning. FL and ZH are two of those.

I don't don't think anyone in this thread is spamming the shite...or basing their trades solely based off of either of those sites. Just passing time...looking for answers etc.

I personally think sources should always be quoted, but I don't think ANYONE should be berated for posting FL or ZH as a source. Many times, even recently, something has spiked, and people were like...WTF? The first confirmation of what happened came from a linked FL story. So be it.

Lets move on. Everyone cite sources, that way those that despise a source can just ignore it.

Enough on this shite.

no probs , no never seen that on this thread , Ken - talking bout FF in general , used to see it on the cable thread lol , someone ( from a "news" site ) explaining their version of exactly what I've been sat looking at for the past 10 hours
Yeah...those are classics! Still see it on the EU thread, too. Four hours after Italian downgrade, some genius comes in all caps fakking locked and in bold...ITALY DOWNGRADED!

Way to sleuth!

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.

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.
BUT...there were NO details released yet on the Greek talks of the day yet...the scoop was just unfolding.

And, if I could vouch for you again, I would...you BIG fakking BASTARD!

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.
I wouldn't be surprised if that gets called an "erroneous" spike or something like that...trades canceled. I have it on two brokers...not on a third. Will check a couple more.
