It's finally happening, after so many inquiries and requests over the years... I am in the process of setting up a new server for my twitter followers. In a few weeks, I'll announce its grand opening here. Stay tuned - please do not ask me to contact you when it's ready.

@_sierratrading @Om1zzyy @dontbsalti 100% correct. Once you understand what you’re looking for in the fast-moving LOB (limit order book) and tape (time & sales) data, the next logical step is to automate the observation and trigger an alert when conditions are met.

@WazzockPatrol @davepl1968 Epic Systems Corp, by any chance?

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@davepl1968 This proves that even a broken [analog] clock is right twice a day. That does not discount the fact that it's wrong most of the time. A prediction should be vector, not scalar; without a timeline, it's not a prediction.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@infamis0 @_sierratrading Ah... you noticed this too; it started a few months ago for me. Had to [hide] certain charts to make sure they stayed in the background.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

Here's my understanding of things: It's wrong to assume someone's gender or pronouns. Yet you presume what most men are thinking as well as why they cross-dress.

A biological male dressed as a female is a cross-dresser or transvestite, regardless of motivation. The act of cross-dressing is what endears the label, not the motivations behind it.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

Yes... this (story), over and over again. At first, you want to help those who express an interest. But what it takes time to realize is that, for some reason, many will ignore teachings and do it their way (despite a history of losing trades). Eventually, you learn this is human nature - and you don't get sad or upset about it. I think this is why it's easier to teach someone who has no experience, rather than teaching someone who has already developed bad habits.

I understand (or "I have come to understand") that trading rooms are a social gathering for most, and a "work" gathering for very few. There's a big difference between those willing to do the work (even if paper trading while learning) and those who watch just to be entertained.

@yael_maimon @elonmusk

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@brockpierson Yes... I even had my own cage at PAIX (Palo Alto Internet Exchange) with my own servers, near the AltaVista racks.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@_sierratrading @ekberg_hans Indeed... 3.5 true range for watching auction patterns at the edges (volume and delta), and 1.75 true range for surgical entries and exits (along with dealer activity and T10).

@AuclairsDad Beautiful dog. So sorry to hear of his passing.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

It didn't take much to realize why liquidity was awash...

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@AuclairsDad So did I, in my discord, Friday before the NYSE close. It was obvious.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@aussieVu @warsurv ... and all because you say so. Laughable.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@TheActor_movie @grok @warsurv You assume the facility was completely destroyed. We know from Iranian claims that they salvaged whatever equipment and uranium they could. Your binary view of events is as flawed as your bias is.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@TheActor_movie @warsurv Yet another simpleton statement, and it fails to take into account the fact that enrichment facilities can be rebuilt, as can their centrifuges. But go ahead, continue to play ignorant - it comes naturally to you, anyway.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@TheActor_movie @warsurv You act as if something that's destroyed can't be built again. What type of simpleton are you?

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@Rainer_Winkleer @warsurv Thank you for the analysis, Mr. Maduro.

[Lewis De Payne @LewPayne]

@warsurv The US should now put the UK on notice that it will not honor NATO agreements should the UK be attacked in the future. Screw these UK idiots.

@TwinCities2030 @Suzierizzo1 Elian Gonzalez! I used to refer to him as "Alien" Gone... zales. Illegal alien, deported as he should have been.
