American futures markets. Intraday. Stops above / below local minimums on minutes / seconds — this, practically, accumulations of openly lying money. Moved the market up a couple of millimeters, bent down, raised bills — in pocket, pushed the market down an inch, bent down, raised bills — in pocket. Who collects? Unambiguously, not intraday traders. Maybe, the exchange itself. Or, as Maitrade calls it — “кукл”. :)
How not to bend over, if money is lying, practically, underfoot — just take a step to the left, step right…..
But you get used to good things pretty quickly.. And it even becomes too lazy to bend over and take a step to the right / left. Why don't traders just put money in the pocket of the exchange / doll — come on, stop no more 5 cents for stocks and no more than 2 ticks for futures — who puts more, that sucker — we will inspire it to beginners — the more deals, the greater the expectation…. And we will take brokers as allies — we play only on ticks, for weeks only suckers and investors play because you will get a teaspoon of commissions from them a month, and normal guys pay with every tick.
With an increase in the timeframe behind the stops, it becomes more difficult to bend, and often an order is received for unidirectional movement, therefore, you have to see off the distant accumulation of stops with an envious glance — do not reach. On this occasion, a reprimand to the ideological department — who else dares to play on the days / weeks?…
