#  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #

1. Forget the news, remember the chart. You’re not smart enough to know how news will affect price. The chart already knows the news is coming.

2. Buy the first pullback from a new high. Sell the first pullback from a new low. There’s always a crowd that missed the first boat.

3. Buy at support, sell at resistance. Everyone sees the same thing and they’re all just waiting to jump in the pool.20-RULES

4. Short rallies not selloffs. When markets drop, shorts finally turn a profit and get ready to cover.

5. Don’t buy up into a major moving average or sell down into one. See #3.

6. Don’t chase momentum if you can’t find the exit. Assume the market will reverse the minute you get in. If it’s a long way to the door, you’re in big trouble.

7. Exhaustion gaps get filled. Breakaway and continuation gaps don’t. The old trader’s wisdom is a lie. Trade in the direction of gap support whenever you can. (more…)

In 2009, Samantha Bee, one of the cast members on The Daily Show, the satirical US television programme, said that “if I know about a stock’s activity the day before, it’s called insider trading. But if I know about a stock’s activity one second before, it’s called high-frequency trading.”

Now, however, Eric Schneiderman, the New York attorney-general, is waging war on what he calls “insider trading 2.0”. He is taking aim at the precise time sensitive information is delivered electronically.

Mr Schneiderman’s office is currently investigating the market data industry. In July, under pressure from Mr Schneiderman, Thomson Reuters suspended its practice of releasing consumer survey data from the University of Michigan (UoM) two seconds earlier to high-frequency trading clients who paid an additional fee. Clients paying for Thomson Reuters’ financial information terminals will continue to receive the data five minutes ahead of the general public, who have to make do with a press release. (more…)
