Hey, you guys may or may not remember from earlier this year, I started a thread and I was going to get into trading etc. Anyway I did, and I have developed a couple strategies that are working and I am trading them. I was going to focus just on trading equities cause it seemed like a better...

Point well taken.

I get that feeling sometimes that is why I take everything with a grain of salt. I just want to learn so all advice is welcomed. Whether or not I agree or understand it.

Can you explain to me how it is that a lot of graduates of hard sciences (Math, stats, physics, etc.) are able to get jobs at hedge funds, investment banks as quant developers/traders without a finance/trading background? I don't have a phd, but I feel that am at a graduate level in regards...

I completely agree with you in regards to the true definition of arbitrage. But what I am referring to and what I think most people mean when they use the term, is any strategy that uses statistical methods to generate trading signals. As for co-location, I am not going to be focusing on hfT...

Thank you for all the great advice. I have read each post more then once and I think I have myself a plan of attack. After researching different trading styles, I think that some form of stat arb will fit my personality better. So I have bought a few books from amazon on the subject, as well...

My parents are great people. My dad broke his back and has had a few surgeries, so he is no shape for farm work. So it is only temporary and I don't mind helping them out since they put me through school and hell they are my parents, so I figure a little time out of my life to do something for...

Wow. Thanks for all the advice guys. As of right now, I do have esignal which I watch throughout the day, I am decent with c# been programming since I was about 15 years old, as well as excel. So I have written a few things to keep track of intraday movements. I also have a sterling demo to...

Hi all, hope everyone had a nice holiday. Anyway after reading through this forum for about 3 months now and finding tons of useful information I decide to register and ask a couple questions. First off about me, I am 20 years old (will be 21 on the 30th) a recent graduate from St.Mary's...
