I WANT IN!
Things on the tablet for the weekend. Timing is everything: Brain scans reveal the secret of Bruce Lee’s one-inch punch Karate Black Belts’ White Matter Shows How a Powerful Punch Comes from the Brain Kudo to David B from the mentor program for these two Ding Dong, Daily Deals Are Dead ‘Beam Us Up, Mr.…
There comes a time in every traders life where you just have to take the money. My guess is the owners of Groupon have been asking Google whether they still had that cheque for a reported $6 billion they were offering. Some trades/deals are life changes – the problem is most people dont recognise them…
Last week I wrote about the implosion of Knight Capital a market maker whose minor software glitch managed to almost implode the firm. Nanex a firm that deal in supply data and analysing market movements have produced the following little video that tracks one of their screens during the Knight meltdown. It starts a little…
I get feeds from all sorts of things ranging from HFT, obscure bits of derivatives trading news, physics – particularly string theory (which I don’t understand nor does anyone else) to how to lift heavy things without your small intestine popping out your backside.

I’M SENT A LOT of emails every month from people who are trying to come to grips with errors they’ve made and problems they’re experiencing while trading. It’s so tempting to beat ourselves up when we stuff up a trade, isn’t it? If you’ve found your self-talk is suffering after taking a battering on the…
I came across this headline – Knight Capital Says Trading Glitch Cost It $440 Million $10 million a minute. That’s about how much the trading problem that set off turmoil on the stock market on Wednesday morning is already costing the trading firm. The Knight Capital Group announced on Thursday that it lost $440 million when…
Still no volume follow through. Widespread participation would be good. Given the mess the inhabitants of Wall Street have made of their own patch I dont blame the majority of people for not wanting to be involved. The perception that this is still a rigged game run by criminals still persists.
