Thanks for some details. I am going to run a series of live test with one of our accounts using these types of algo trades and run a detailed comparison against DMA routed orders. It would be interesting to see if and how much improvement. A couple of algos also were set up for the...

Thanks very much. I (we) trade from a long or short portfolio position and use options a hedging and income generation. So volume can sometimes be larger than what a typical day-trader would be accustomed to. Since our auto-mated system has pricing sensitivities to the net long/short...

I am not concerned if they are highly sophisticated or not - I am interested in what they do and how they work. How many people use them and have they benefited there trading. Some of these do not seem "Standard" either. Maybe the trading community is just very slow (as it always seems) to...

I understand that if you are trading 100 shares that most things are not very useful or if you are a day-trader. However, I am neither - if you read my earlier post. However, it doesn't seems that all of them are for as you say "getting into (out of) large positions." Are we not all...

Thanks for responding, but I find your answer vague. Just because they were designed for sell side providers does that make them useless? I remember when LEVEL II and market depth was for market makers only, did that make it useless for none market makers? It seems that everyone I...

He has actually changed some of his views. He is now calling a top in the bond market, when before he was short equities and long bonds. Now he is bearish bonds, neutral equities. However, you are right he has been bullish commodities and bearish the USD for a long time. I guess when...

Guess no one uses algo trading systems? I would think there would be someone here that uses them and has some experience and knowledge to share.

Sure - to each their own. However, to call Monaco boring, well - it might not be to one's taste, but I would certainly not call it boring.

Yeah it totally boring - a F1 race through the streets, one of the world's best rallies, best private concerts, mega yachts, the world's greatest parities, attractive women, gambling, and a host of other boring things.

Many of the comments are steering towards personal opinions of what place they like or don't like. Or the cost of living. However, personal opinion and cost have little to do with taxable income and free society. You may not like the food, the cost, or the customs - but that doesn't make it...

It's not just 35%, you need to added in all the other taxes as well. State, Property, Fed, Sales, Estate, Social Security, unemployment, etc. I lived in Kobe and there was NO PROBLEM with quick medical services. I split my lip WIDE open and had no problems with getting to the hospital...

You must be in a sh#thole to make some blanket claim. I have lived in Japan for over 4 years. I live in various places in Europe as well. Served in the Arm Forces as well. I have also spent months in Central America and the Middle East. Yeah - there are places with no roads that are crap holes...

[/B] Yet you quoting them make them true? I am not trying to refute them, but have yet to see your evidence. It is your claim and thus you need to validate that claim. However, let me take a stab at it - since you claim that I have. ===== Per your first statement: "that potential net...

Hello? And what planet do you reside on. I have lived in Asia and Europe, have traveled extensively around the world. Yeah they have emergency services, roads, and schools. You are just being silly or trolling - I can't tell. You obviously have never ventured beyond 30 miles of your home...

And you are? To tell me that 35% tax rate, property tax, sales tax, and state tax are not a "massive infringement" of liberty? When you start paying 6 digit in taxes, with crappy roads, expensive private schools and universities, poor public schools, local government failures, cuts in...
