HFT Caught-Red Handed In FX Trading
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2012 15:50 -0400


After decimating equity and commodity markets, the HiFreqs have boldly gone and broken another market - FX. But that is not news: we reported over two years ago, that while HFT accounting for all of the churn - not liquidity - in stocks, bonds, and commodities, HFT had moved on to the final frontier, FX, where even the smallest moves now are catalysts for avalanche-like surges and...
The sad part is, is that I don't mind it because it makes the markets predictable... unless the environment I have learned is just the worst that it has ever been and has only been getting worse... but this market has been my baseline, so to speak.

the stock exchange was operating off generators today and internet access was not good so it really wasn't that bad for the conditions they were under. oh and phone lines were also down which didn't help either.
sumed it up nicely and all them guys in red jackets waving arms in the air are just for the news reports and shit like that

gawd knows what nfp brings but a nice break out off the 4hr range would be nice st im still looking at the indexes to drop slightly lower for a nice buy so all in all dustbins have ruled for the last few months

52 and 55 are levels. 59 yesterdays close.
looks like a bounce atm using the last h's candle. the day closed with a bearish indication ss.. on some platforms. the doji is red. on this chart it needed 2959 and closed at 2960 making it green..

in the one action shows it was 2961 yesterday and 2958 today. making it lower. at the least, one is wrong.. the dpp is 2975 http://www.actionforex.com/markets/p...2010040848154/

He's in Dublin...getting a dose of "his own kind." Well...other than his Useless Bastard kind.

Needed a break. I had to ship a fairly large amount of stuff back to my lady after her trip was cut short while we were away. It was going to cost a fortune...I hand delivered instead...and then came to Dublin. No laptop...its been good. Will be a knocking around a little, but probably won't be back till next Thursday, or so.

Have you looked into or do you think there would any benefit in using Range or Renko's for dust bins?

morning...

I tried Renko with a few different settings.

It does a great job filtering small ranges and choppy PA but the major disadvantage is that the price patterns that I look for trading candlesticks are lost in the Renko bars.

The Renko experts use their own price patterns and I am sure it works for them.

Long story short.....I prefer trading normal candlesticks
