70% Of All Stock Market Trades Are Held for An Average of 11 SECONDS


Washington's Blog
Oct 23, 2010

The Fourteenth Banker writes today:

In the stock market, program trading dominates volume. I heard recently that 70% of trade positions are held for an average of 11 seconds.

He's correct.

As the New York Times dealbook noted in May:

These are short-term bets. Very short. The founder of Tradebot, in Kansas City, Mo., told students in 2008 that his firm typically held stocks for 11 seconds. Tradebot, one of the biggest high-frequency traders around, had not had a losing day in four years, he said



Similarly, FT's Martin Wheatley pointed out last month:

I know of one HFT firm operated out of the west coast of the US that boasts its average holding period for US equities is 11 seconds



And market analyst Peter Cohan writes at AOL's Daily Finance:

70% of trading volume on the major exchanges is conducted by high-frequency traders who hold a stock for an average of 11 seconds.


The fact that the vast majority of stock market trades are held for 11 seconds shows that the stock market is not a real market with real traders governed by the law of supply and demand, and that there is no real price discovery.


But as Tyler Durden points out, alot can happen in 11 seconds when the players are high-powered computers:

Sorry to hear that apdi, depressing it is but they may not have got away with it yet, their Euro currency experiment could backfire into disaster, or perhaps one of the more troubled(piigs)regions could breakaway and set a precedent.

The treasury says it wants a strong $? lol! they've been saying that for about 8 years, look to what they do, not what they say.
All the FED does is create more and more worthless $'s out of thin air, then lends them at below 1% interest to the corruptest institutions in the world, the rest is history, war,credit crisis, housing collapse etc.

Gold may pull back, so what? I hope it does as that is a healthy thing for it to do during a long term primary trend bull market. I fully expect it to do what it has done for the last decade, find support, then move off into even higher highs, it won't be over till everyone and their dog is bullish about gold. (some years ahead)
