You know what Trendtrading ? I think your reply is pretty much spot on, it sure explains a lot of the experiences i've had the past 12 months,almost like someone is watching over my shoulder when i type an order, like when the moment an order of mine (buy or sell) gets executed, an avalanch of selling or buying begins, due to "human intervention" in the created market as you describe it. I have seen market depths go from millions in favour of the buyers suddenly go in the opposite direction to the sellers side. I have to admit i'm waaay out of my depth, the proof is in the pudding (read as massive continuous losses) You can read all the books you like about elliot waves, fibocani, gann, etc etc, (mostly outdated anyway) but even the best chess player in the world wont beat a computer. I;m now a financial cripple for the forseeable future, buying days are over, have to hope VILO comes good in the next 26 or whatever days, or GDN hits the biggest oil/gas find ever, or VHL finds a cure for aids, or ARO finds lasseters reef. The odds are massive, my goose is cooked. Adios amigos.
