I see, well, the only problem there is that there is no intuitive or gut part of the trading system, it's automatic based on price and time... this completely eliminates all possible human emotions and assessments about the market... I get a buy signal, I buy... I get a sell signal, I sell... it's so easy, a caveman can do it... GZ™

Respectfully, once the surfs up, you'll see a blow-up of spectacular proportions, given the amount of leverage in the system, one never seen in history. A 1-min "glitch" in the DOW on Feb. 27 was just the way it will happen, only this time it will be limit-down. Do you see that? I don't -g- Why? Cause it will be free markets win against the Fed. No, the Fed does not manipulate the markets - computers do that very effectively for them, if enough liquidity is provided. The Fed just ensures the latter. Some day the liquidity it provides won't be enough, as it wasn't on Feb., 27. Until this happens, the markets will continue higher with no volativity. Meanwhile, 1/2 of all hedge funds and all the pigmen are and will be shorting volativity (puts and calls) and spreads, and cashing the proceeds. -g-
