Glad to hear you got the issue resolved and thanks again for posting your experience for all of us on ET.

Did you decide to sit out the rest of the day after the two bigger than usual losses? Or did you not get any further entry signals yesterday? Just curious and still good results so far.

An interesting thread. Thanks to zzzap for posting and allowing IBj to make the conclusions public. Also a side note thanks to QuantPlus and GTS for some very informative and clarifying posts. I have read a lot of back and forth about whether the position should have been closed immediately...

Hey Zanatos, I just signed up for the meetup.com daytraders in the vancouver area. Where have you guys met before? Cheers, Osiris

Those are great...i have never heard of knowbias before. Looks very interesting with the real-time news and they seem to focus on small caps too. Plus the news filter could be extremely useful. I am quite surprise the WSJ covers such small companies too....that is good to know. Quick...

I am just wondering if anyone knows of a good service/data feed for real-time earnings releases. I know that there are quite a few places to find this info for the 1500 - 2000 big stocks....but i am interested in the little guys. Pico caps even, with sub 100M market caps. I have heard that IBD...

____________________________________________ I don't mean to pull the thread away from the original topic, but I'd be curious to hear what Trader Vic had to say about the gold trade and the hedge...thanks Johnny :) I have never gotten even close to speaking with any of the market wizards...

Steamworks on Friday 28th at 2:00pm Sounds good I'll be there as well...i have never actually been to Steamworks before. Cheers

I am sorry if this has been mentioned already...but isn't the most obvious and clear case of zero sum in the stock market, when you short sell a stock? Then you have two sides to the transaction and what the shorter makes the buyer (from him as a new buyer) loses. Conversely, what the buyer...

Hahaha...the ever omniscient armchair trader :) You have to love that...i find it interesting when people find out what i do, how the vast majority want to tell me how to invest/trade than ever ask me how i trade:D I tried to be candid in admitting that i have had some bad months as...

Yes for sure, i seriously didn't want to have it come across that i am smearing Aaron. He seems like a nice guy and is definitely got a very good pedigree....i would never attack an MIT grad that also worked with Monroe Trout:D So i appologize in advance to Aaron for any construed negativity...

Interesting comment Aaron...about the decent returns not neccessarily driving AUM growth. I am just a nat trading mainly equities right now...but i would like to eventually start a fund...but i think that when you are just on the cusp of critical size with a fund it can actually be quite a tuff...

Yeah, that is kind of what i had thought as well Rufus...i don't know too much about it though. Would the 100+ RTs be on a single security as well? For the market making algo's i could definitely see that...but i know less about the stat arb's and what sort of relationships they are trading...

I think it really depends a lot on what type of HF system is employed. But some of the inter-listed stock arb based system might do upwards of 500+ RTs a day, but that would be spread across a number of stocks. As far as RTs per product (security) that is tougher...for some I would still think...
