[11:52] {nemo} yep
01[11:52] {@Threei} incredible bs
01[11:53] {@Threei} Lewis should be ashamed of himself, for providing firepower to these disgusting types
[11:55] {nemo} wait until they kill HFT and all the volume disappears
[11:55] {nemo} they should definitely eliminate some of these order types
01[11:56] {@Threei} that would lead to spread windening
[11:56] {nemo} there is a "post only" order type
01[11:56] {@Threei} widening
[11:56] {nemo} I ran into that in FAS last month
[11:56] {dino} if they kill it. i don't think it will happen. hft provide liquidity at portions of a cent, prior system was worse
01[11:56] {@Threei} but there is even worse alternative,
[11:56] {nemo} hit the offer and no fill
01[11:56] {@Threei} transaction tax
01[11:56] {@Threei} a lot of imbeciles started yelling again for that
[11:57] {nemo} they will always yell for that
01[11:57] {@Threei} and either of these outcomes, or both, if come, will be largely fault of this book
01[11:57] {@Threei} they got new firepower

01[14:48] {@Threei} look at SPY
01[14:48] {@Threei} similarly likely to continue up or reverse
[14:48] {nemo} yeah, methinks indexes likely to move up from here, we just breached yesterday's low in the spy
01[14:48] {@Threei} around .40 - .50 is real resistance
01[14:49] {@Threei} which should roughly give us VXX under .30
