Thanks Jacob, your insight brought me a smile then a laugh. Medium-Viscosity Colloid Fractionation Techniques for Realtime Trading :0)

Jacob, re >I'm not reassured< I don't think banning will occur frequently - if at all. This AMAT thread doesn't provide for it and I cannot remember the last time we had unpleasantness here. It usually blows over in a day or two anyway. We need more thread name suggestions. We should adopt the convention 'stock symbol' followed by type of trade abbreviation as suggested by kdavy. Restricted to semi, semi equipment and software stocks and options? No lengthy FA discussions except optional brief reasons for the trade like 'expecting an earnings bounce'. TA reasons also optional, like 'RSI oversold' or 'PnF Ascending Triple Top Breakout'? We should use the honor system, for who would want to verify a posted trade? Post right after trade giving time of trade... ...except: what about limit orders? I place them and go away only to find in the evening it executed 3:59pm EST. I won't be able to post that RT.

OT:Medium-Viscosity Colloid Fractionation Techniques for Realtime Trading. I am not sure about this technique. Let's assume we have stocks of different densities. For example, heavy weights like amat, intc, msft ; medium weights klac, mxim, nvls; and light weights like lu, jdsu, wcom. Then you have a whole class of stocks whose weights change rapidly. Using stocks law of sedimentation, we know that the settling will directly depend on the velocity ie market movements (up or down), density difference ( between stocks and qqq) and gravity ??. Of course indirectly depend on viscosity. The market is very fluid so I can assume that the viscosity is very low. In a low viscosity medium the movement of stocks will be rapid and sway back and forth with the market movement. In such cases the light weights will stay at the bottom, the heavy weights will show wild gyrations and medium weights will good for st trading. If we use an ultracentrifuge, then the whole system show clear separations. In this case the random movements will be minimum and stock will stay where they are once separated. This is not consistent with the market movements. So not a good model for the market. Have to come up with a better analysis. Perhaps take a colloidal system and shake it violently and see what we get. kdavy
