Oh Daytrading… from Anatoly Veltman
Oh daytrading…
In individual stocks: forget it ( "they" sniff all orders' volume info; plus exchanges and brokers favor "them")
In futures, there are still some pockets "they" neglect (as "they" avoid visibility in narrow markets– but do you want to get involved in narrow markets?)
Treasury trading has always been government-sponsored mafia's domain; and never so blatant as in current years.
In FX, you'll have to find a backward counter-party, that may not be constantly realizing own advantage– but one of those days the party will go the old-fashion way by simply running off with your deposit.
