You are welcome. Keep up the great advice.

Short here to 1435. Stop above 1451.

http://abnormalreturns.com/2006/08/14/quant-fund-surge/ Let's say you developed a quantitative system that: * It is never stopped out. * It never misses sudden big moves. * It can make profits on big moves in the wrong direction, such as crashes or spikes. * It never gets in or out...

I would wait until 1446-1448 to get short.

Bingo! Especially the last paragraph. When you play a video game over and over you pretty much get to know the patterns after a while. Same with the markets, the computers with deep pockets are in control. They cannot be beat. You must detect the patterns and play along with their game...

Thing is the quants and their alogorithms are smarter and more sophisticated than the floor guys. The patterns are still there, but the algos can play more tricks than the floor. The algos make the video game harder.

Now they will have to learn how to take profits the hard and honest way like the rest of us.

yes that says it all cmaxb. java and C# are nice and easy for most general projects. But for performance in backtesting and capturing streaming data, C/C++ is the way to go. Yes QT4 is nice.

if your project involves capturing streaming times series data, consider that java and C# are not real-time languages. They run on an underlying virtual machine which controls execution. The java and C# VMs will halt your program for short periods of time while it does things like garbage...

For fast loading and snappy performance, native win32 code cannot be beaten. Having coded in c, c++, java, and now c#, it's hard to go back to c/c++ after coding in java or c#. I would also advise going with java or c# for most projects. You will find that the actual code is the bottleneck...

longer term looks good

Play the news today and you might likely be selling newspapers tomorrow. Slow and steady wins the race in the long run. Good Luck

hey, you want me to switch my name to yours in my account as well? higher powers help those who help themselves. good luck.

Keep an updated list of stocks with high relative strength and look to buy these when the market is down. Top IBD100 stocks work well to produce a consistent daily 1-2.5% return. But you have to be a good market timer if your going to trade in and out daily othewise average down with a risk...

Some code to inspire you. This basically implements a simple DOM window conncected to IB using Visual C++. Just to give you an idea. Good Luck and Have Fun.
