www.realclearmarkets.com consolidation of news from many different sources.

6 years ago I ran into a website called collective2. There was a strategy on the site at the time called coin collector. The strategy ran on strategy runner and had excellent *real time* result from simulation. It made money day in and day out and in real time. What it does is it waits for 60...

I suppose your strategy is something in the line of reversal strategy where you put long and short limit orders that are close with each other. The reason why this kind of strategy will have different real time result than simulation is that you're bounded to miss (non fills) some of the...

Your return is excellent. Get yourself a CTA license and have your statements audited by an accountant. Put your record on iasg and if your real time result resembles your past results for at least 6 months you should be able to attract some investors. The -20% month is a bit ugly... if you...

Hi TradeLink, I downloaded tradelink today build 2894 and I got an error from the installer that says cannot write to lighspeedserver.dll. I downloaded and older bulid 2857 and got the same error. Then I downloaded a still older build 2821 and the lightspeedserver.dll error is gone...

as for your slippage question it really depends on the market and how aggressive the market makers are in providing liquidity. It also depends on how volatile the current market is as well as where the price level is. Expect higher slippage in volatile days and expect higher slippage at higher...

the only disadvantage of a reverse order is it doubles the size of your trade at a single trade location. Its more of a scalability issue than a performance issue. If possible try to exit first before reverse to avoid trading twice the size at a single point. Revere orders effectively halves the...

Come to think about it in your case the easily solution maybe to simply replace one of your Nvidia two port cards with a four port model so that you can eliminate 1 video card. Nvidia video drivers have excellent compatibility unlike ATI so that you can mix and match most of the models using...

You maybe running out of bus bandwidth. The bus bandwidth is shared and with 5 video cards the chipset may not be able to handle it. If this is the case the solution maybe to upgrade to the newer sandy bridge with P67 chipset which could have higher bandwidth (I'm not sure though, please...

Kiwki I think that's a bit extreme. I've been with IB for 6 years and I've been paying 5 figures commission monthly for the last 3 or 4 years. I demand my service and when I don't get it (only occassionaly) I have the right to have an opinion. I love IB as well and I admire it deep from my...

Most of my experience with IB chat support have been excellent until recently where I tried their chat support during Asia market hour for the first time. I was being treated like shit. The staff was arrogant, impatient, and give you a sense of "you're wasting my time" kind of attitude. A...

i had similar problem in hong kong a week ago. I could go to most address but not to IB (and thus TWS). Off the head I blamed IB for the problem but it turned out some of the routes were broken on the ISP's end. You can verify this by doing a trace route to the IB gateway and see where the route...

Trading is all about the money. It's never meant to be a satisfying and life fullfilling endeavour.

This is interesting. I have a 3G modem connected to my router as a backup connection and whenever the main connection fails it automatically switches to the 3G modem. Obviously the IP address would change during the failover and I never have to relogon to TWS. Everything went seemless: main...
