I would not argue with that at all and agree that it would be an interesting development but that is pure Algo Strategy and I would struggle to characterise that as getting "****ier".... That is purely a risk on risk off trading tactic and one that may indeed have been in place for a considerable period already.
And sharcus, yes a "man" creates the Algo's but the greatest reason for implementing an Algo strategy is to eliminate the "emotive" element of trading - that and to minimise latency.
There's always a man behind the curtain Crusty. All flesh and blood. Thus subject to all kinds of emotions like you and I. Watching the price action like a hawk, tweaking it if he feels so inclined. Him getting over-confident is what I'm saying. These aren't algo wars in cyber-space acting independently. At least, not yet.
Crusty, there is actually an interesting point, perhaps the algo's are being more and more aggressively tuned, taking greater and greater risks to find an opportunity that others haven't or just to find it first, and that's what we see as whatever was censored. It'll lead to greater and greater variability as they get in on a just in case basis, and out again on a that immediately didn't go the way we wanted as they are more marginal than ever before.
"Shorts are getting ****ier...." - since when do Algo's have emotions?
Smash the granny out of it.
Everytime the bid gets smashed like this one thing's clear: Shorts are getting ****ier which'll be their downfall. Market'll make sure that their few consecutive day buyback window will not happen in the green for hedgies. 80+ upon news'll secure that. Be our guest, keep hitting that bid, see where that gets you.
This is one frustrating share, absolute pants since the nasdaq listing.
yes, very strange sp movement, 64p paid just now
That is one sharp spike on no news. Intrigued.
Sp sudden jump again. Hope it will explode to 90-110p range soon
