Go $EPGL
My 1 post for the day....sigh.

Common,
I'm well aware of algorithm trading as I've stated on here and many other boards. The "manual trading" comment was geared toward the insinuation that MMs are just sitting around plotting and making sure they "are pushing us in the right direction" to make them money. You do understand that Market Makers are filling orders for flesh and blood clients right and that algorithms deployed through trading platforms are just the MEANS or TOOL that helps the broker execute a requested trade?? Yes MMs can short...LEGALLY. Based on the volume and the technicals (OBV, Volume, TRIX and Full Stochastics) do you believe $EPGL is being shorted or Naked Short sold????? Are the evil MMs doing it 100 shares at a time??

Regardless-I think we do agree on the only 1 main point that really matters about us returning North and the pps increasing again. The timing of that can be debated but who really cares if we are long right?

Respectfully and have a Happy Thanksgiving CommonVestor and the rest of the $EPGL Long and Strong boardmates,

p.s. Finally, Cheapskates moved their bid up into .05ss...might be seeing a turn technically coming today but that spread needs to tighten up and cheapskates need to move up. Thanksgiving Doorbuster Sale might be over for $EPGL.

Really.....A little reading and DD is in order.
First, here is WHAT it is....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_trading

Oh look, Knight has a whole division that does nothing but algo services...
https://www.kcg.com/global-execution-services/algorithmic-services

All Market Makers have Automated Trading Desks that are running algorithms to conduct trades on behalf of the brokerage they represent. ALL.

All large brokerage firms like Knight Capital Group have customizable algo services that they will develop, launch and maintain for their clients. The brokerages do this for RETAIL Clients as well as other large and small broker-dealers.

http://www.algotrader.ch/

Just a couple of examples in what is literally hundreds of software platforms that can be employed by Market Makers (Enterprise), Broker-Dealers/Institutional Investors, or plain ol' retail clients who have the cash to pay for the services.

The 80's called and wants it's knowledge of the electronic trading system. Since I'm such a nice guy, here are some books to get folks started.

LMFAO...

p.s. The Pinksheets are the PERFECT MARKET to employ algos because of the volatility and liquidity of flash runs in the stocks that are pumped or receive big news i.e. Catalyst Trading Strategy or one my favorites Mean Reversion strategy.


Stock Trading...ha ha...Child's Play.
