  US can learn from China
  augustus_meyer by augustus_meyer
  The China Daily newspaper said on Friday that the CSRC was probing investors who used stock index futures to "short" the market - or bet on prices falling.
  Sources with direct knowledge later told Reuters that the China Financial Futures Exchange (CFFEX) had suspended 19 accounts from short-selling for a month.

  As I posted already: 2 SHORTs seliing and covering to each other. Manipulation at its finest. However, SEC is government ....
  Back to the 2 SHORTs
  selling and covering to each other, to drive down PPS.

  Why don't you contact a lawyer ? In case, you have some evidence, he will be happy to organize a huge class action.

  Makes sense. Algos for HFT are tested. Had similar in opposite direction some time ago.

  Where did you get the amount of shares from ? Wo sold ? Or did they simply cover their own previous shorts ?
  Reply to HFTs back at work by augustus_meyer
  HFTs (also) need statistics about usual trading activity, to decide, how much to invest to drive down/up PPS. You see the typical trading pattern: Buy a few shares, and then sell them. As yesterdays statistics confirmed low standard volume, with some pennies loss HFT can drive down PPS. And HFT can estimate, how expensive it will probably will be to drive down PPS a certain amount. Applied statistics. A former friend of mine (Russian physics) joined Deutsche in Moscow couple of years ago already, to develop such things. much better paid than research :-) (Experimental physics needs a lot of statistics, so these guys are very well suited )
  HFTs back at work
  to drive down PPS. Got some new statistics yesterday, about normal volume.

  Not really, I guess. HFT needs some new market statistics, to extrapolate new strategies.
  Simply SHORTs/MM keeping PPS in range. Pump a bit, dump a bit.

  I consider it positive. Tells me, that the "Big Guys" desparately want to pick up cheap shares. Must be a reason for this :-)
  In Germany about 2.96$
  Low volume, though.

  Tesla will cooperate here in Germany using these batteries. Good business, if NANX involved. http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/tesla-und-lichtblick-kooperieren-weltweit-bei-stromspeichern-a-1031544.html
