RDBX: HFT action out of Dark Pool buy zoneRDBX had HFT action out of the bottom where there was a clear Dark Pool buy zone. It's moving into resistance from the low of the topping formation around 10 where short-term Pro Traders have begun taking profits.
Retail traders need to learn to take the cue of the professional side using what TechniTrader calls "Relational Technical Analysis." When you learn where and how the Dark Pools accumulate, you can buy BEFORE the HFTs push price too far up to sustain.

$VIRT - HTF's doing just fine - Undoubtedly, the HFT world is making a killing with the recent volatility. I've been a longtime investor in VIRT, but just watching this go up feels a bit sickening.
How brokers provide zero commission trading? You've probably heard of many zero commission trading platforms being established.
Robinhood is probably the most well known one, actually.
Historically, brokers have made their money by facilitating trades in the market between buyers and sellers and collected a fee for their extremely hard work...
Since markets have become larger, with greater trading volume and more participants, commissions per trade have fallen drastically, and the industry has had to change for your poor broker to earn a living.
With the rise of the smartphone, this has led to brokers being able to target a new type of trader...
This trader tends to be less informed than a professional...
Trading off a phone...
A lack of experience...
And more of a gambling mentality rather than understanding what is truly driving markets.
Firms have realised that.
'Commission free' is a marketing tool, and a very good one.
See, what is happening now is that market makers and dealers - and by extension, exchanges - are willing to pay brokers for their uninformed clients' order flow.
High frequency trading firms, such as Citadel, Apex, Renaissance, Virtu and DRW conduct market making on extremely low timeframes, providing liquidity to exchanges - that's their primary goal - and exchanges pay them rebates based on volume for doing so - note the chart of the CME Group above.
Their share price has increased massively since high frequency trading (market making) has driven 'liquidity' to the exchange.
Since their business is focused around volume, they welcome HFTs providing liquidity and therefore do not mind paying them volume based rebates - HFTs are kind of like introducing brokers.
But what's a market maker?
Market makers are delta neutral.
They do not necessarily care about the direction of a market, they simply want to sell higher at the bid and buy at a lower offer, thus capturing the 'spread' (the difference between the bid and the offer).
By paying brokers for the uninformed flow, this means that they believe they can capture asset misvaluations, and therefore turn a profit.
And it's very lucrative business.
Robinhood recently got fined for not routing orders adequately to allow for best execution for clients.
The adverse selection that they committed is an example of how a client can be at detriment.
However, it isn't necessarily bad to trade with a zero commission broker, since your explicit costs can be low (although implicit - the costs you don't see - could be higher and likely are).
What matters massively is their execution policy and whether you are being filled at the bid or offer that the market will allow you, or if you're receiving the price that the broker wishes you to get as part of their routing relationships with market makers.
The former is good, the latter is bad!
I hope that's cleared up a bit for you...
ORLY HFT Gap Up to New All-Time HighORLY broke out of its sideways pattern with a High Frequency Trader gap up. It is now at another new all time high.
SPY is selling off. People want their cashUsing the Cash in/cash out indicator (CICO) one can see the major shift from buying to selling. The CICO indicator measures a rolling sum of new money in and out of the market. The user can set the desired time frame to measure. The code is open source and directions on how to use the indicator are within the comment sections of the indicator. Don't let the 1% take your money, they don't need anymore.
WALL STREET (DJI): HFT counterattackThis is about HFT's and a counter offensive against market manipulators on the DJI.
It is an unconventional and risky strategy. I share with everybody. But if carefully studied and managed can be quite profitable in relatively short periods of time, like a few hours.
To appreciate and engage this:
1. Multi-timeframe analysis is a must.
2. Trend following skill is required.
3. You must have 'nerves of steel'.
4. High levels of attention to detail.
5. In live trading you must have cash that you can afford to lose. (Your losses are your own as usual).
CINF Platform Pattern Hidden AccumulationCINF is an S&P 500 index component. The chart shows a platform sideways pattern typical of Dark Pool hidden accumulation. This was followed by a long white candle that was not HFT driven. The stock is now in another consolidation, at a new high with more hidden accumulation.
KTOS Doubles Up on HFT ActionKTOS is an S&P 500 index component. It rose on surges of HFT orders on sequential days, defying the sell down on the major indexes. Smaller funds managers often buy stocks with surges of volume, assuming this is Dark Pool activity when it is not.
ECPG Has Rare HFT PatternHFTs rarely trade a stock more than one day. ECPG has 2 days of HFT action moving the stock with strong momentum with high volume. Often VWAP orders from smaller funds will trigger after an HFT run day. The stock breached resistance but is at risk for professional traders taking profits. ECPG is an S&P 500 index component.
Google Huge Gap DownPrior to its earnings report, Google's stock had been running speculatively. There were warnings from Google about its report that were ignored by smaller funds and the retail crowd. Google had a massive HFT gap down the following day.
AAPL: Pre-earnings setup with Pro Trader patternsAAPL has a pre earnings report setup. The pattern is stepping upward ahead of Apple Computers’ first quarter report for 2019. The candles indicate this is a professional trader pattern. HFTs may gap this stock on the day of the earnings release.
XOM: Consolidating as oil prices rise, watch for pro tradersXOM is in a consolidation as oil commodity prices are rising. This offers incentives for pro traders to enter ahead of any HFT activity. The bottom has some buybacks in the candlestick structure as well. The goal is to generate speculation among the retail crowd.
QCOM: Pro traders' end of day reaction to AAPL newsThe huge candlestick yesterday was NOT HFT activity. A run occurred toward the end of the day, driven by pro traders who received early news regarding the settlement of a 3-year lawsuit with AAPL. Pro traders initiated the end-of-day run and smaller funds’ VWAPs triggered to continue the end-of-day run on high volume.
NFLX: Volume needs to increase to break up through resistanceNFLX is currently resting after a strong speculative momentum run out of its low of December. The sideways pattern is just below previous high resistance levels. Volume needs to increase before it can test the resistance for a breakout move. HFTs run this stock rather than gap it.
AUDC: Similar to AMD with pro traders and HFTs in the mixAUDC has similar technical patterns to AMD and other semiconductor stocks. The activity has pre HFT setups. Pro traders are in the mix. HFTs tend to gap and run the stock upward. Candlestick patterns and volume reveal pro traders and HFTs.
NTAP: Filling gap, solid candlestick patterns ahead of earningsNTAP has moved into the gap area, and is now poised to challenge the next resistance level. This stock has had recent HFT activity and is likely to have more HFT attention on the day of its earnings release. The candlestick patterns are solid ahead of earnings. Watch for pro traders setting up for a pre-earnings run.
