Thanks to all for the comments on my last blog regarding algos. I thought over the weekend about the best possible way for all of us to learn about these pesty computer programs and here is my suggestion.<\/p>\n
I always believed the best way to learn something complex is by using a dynamic and interactive technique. I thought it would make sense if everyone contributed a 3-5mins piece of tape on an algo they see and let everyone comment on it and we can all dissect the good, the bad and the noise.<\/p>\n
I will start with a piece of tape on my next entry where I’ll offer my comments and let you guys offer your questions and comments. Feel free to send your tapes in .wmv or .flv format to gman@smbcap.com<\/p>\n
Here are some suggestions on tapes:<\/p>\n
1. Accumulation algo
\n2. Distribution algo
\n3. Driving algo
\n4. Market making (passive)
\n5. The big order stepping
\n6. Big order broken down into little pieces
\n7. Buy to sell
\n8. Sell to buy
\n9. Buy the new low
\n10. Sell the new high
\n11. The re-bidder
\n12. The re-offerer
\n13. Crush it like grape
\n14. The black swan
\n15. The terminator<\/p>\n
That’s a pretty good start for now. If you guys have a better suggestion\/approach I am all ears. Happy trading.<\/p>\n
Oh yes I made up the last three but if you find a new algo we can totally brand that sucker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
