I think you will see a technical bounce on a 50% retraction.

I can't believe that anyone would vote for a guy that wants to ban porn. What has the world cum to?

This question is a lot harder to answer to answer than it looks. A lot of people here who backtest will give you a simple answer such as the date that volume in the new contract exceeds that in the old contract, but in trading reality this is insufficient. For example, I have a strategy running...

Actually, being too close to the car in front also has its problems. Once I was just cruising along behind a car and there was a guy parked on the side of the road looking to do a U turn. He was watching the car I was behind in his rear vision mirror but could not see me behind the vehicle. As...

The reference to power redundancy and connection to the internet backbone are my personal requirements for using either a cloud or dedicated server solution. I get a power surge or power failure about once a month that can cause my computer to crash. My DSL connection drops out about once a...

I think the cloud may have its place in trading but purely for signal generation/distribution and execution. There is really no need to backtest in the cloud because you can do this easily and reliably on a desktop machine. To me, the benefit of the cloud is power redundancy and a direct...

For thousands of years, war was waged primarily to aquire things of value. Like gold, or fertile land or fresh water (access to rivers) or castles. In other words, the cost of the war was weighed against the benefit. Greece have nothing of value so why would Germany bother. America is the...

I read a statistic once that said 80% of motorcyclists that die, get killed in the first 8 months of having their license. So you have to be really careful during this period. Believe it or not, it's over confidence that gets you into trouble. After 3 months of riding, you think your good at it...

I want to go to the cloud because I need as close to 100% uptime as possible. Power outages and internet failure are not an option. My machine will run 24/7. The plan is to reboot only once every 12 weeks for futures contract rollover. My gut instinct is telling me I'll need two cores and 4...

Protrader, can you tell me if the memory allocation includes the memory required to run windows server? Or if this separate? thanks, Runningbear

Anyone. Anyone at all.

This is not quite an automated trading question but a step on my journey to full automated. I currently use esignal for generating trade signals and I'm thinking of running the application from a windows cloud server. This way I can ensure maximum internet uptime for rock solid signal...

I used to get the same problem in 10.X when I ran script process quite a bit of tick data, but I upgraded to a quad core i7 chip with DDR3 memory and I haven't had the problem since. Esignal is not a light application, you need a powerful desktop machine to enjoy it.

Im not sure why you even need an address in London. Your services will be delivered over the internet and you will most likely use paypal or credit card as payment methods so no one is really going to care where you're located. Paypal provides added insurance for online purchases also. I'd just...

The reality of providing information over the internet is that it is almost impossible for a government in a foreign jurisdiction to come after you.

If you're not controlling client funds then it's easy. Just have a disclaimer that states 'the information provided is for educational purposes only and to consult an authorised financial advisor before making any investment decisions.' I really don't think it matters where you...

Haven't heard that one, but would be happy to know more. I'm sure that companies purchasing multi-license deals would be paying less per user, but I think you'd need 5 or 10 users to start negotiating any worthwhile discount.

US debt as a percentage of GDP is not much better than Greece. Those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Most currencies are generally grouped into risk currencies or non risk. Aussie dollar with exposure to China is a risk currency, US dollar is a non risk defensive currency. If you own a basket of risk and non-risk currencies you will remain neutral. Risk currencies worth holding Swiss...

Dima777, You're looking at this from the wrong angle. If your not registered with the FSA, you can't solicit for business. And no financial advisor is going to recommend you to their clients. It doesn't matter where you go, each country will have a regulatory body that overseas financial...
