This is super interesting along with the claim they want to eliminate income tax for 150k and less. This would put a tremendous amount of money "back in the market"(not just stock market but private investment, consumer spending, etc) and basically remove it from government coffers(see: foreign aid, USAID, etc). I think this is a wonderful thing if they can pull it off....

But this isn't the politics thread, however it does present me with a bit of a dilemma which is "do I wait to sell certain longer term investments waiting for the potential of this to pass"....

Jysin Jysin think I'm going to switch to futures only for day trading you still using IBKR? I wish Fidelity had futures, I dislike having so many different platforms to deal with.

Institutional investors who have spent billions on the design of trading algorithms that do all of this automatically. This is fine in general but what happens is that all of these models operate under certain assumptions.

When certain value flags occur they do something. This causes an exponential feedback loop as all other algos look for similar signals to do something. When the status quo of assumptions is violated you can't simply call the CEO of JPM to "stop trades" per se as its all automated. There is no one person doing it and there is no one person who knows all of the assumptions designed into the machines.

I'm not doubting you, but it seems kind of crazy to say that algorithms have complete control over institutional trading and they can't be turned off, controlled, or changed.
