    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    I am - and I would suggest dollar cost averaging into BTC. Take a look at the logarithmic chart. Most have already discussed the pro's and con's.

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Agree. Bitcoin can go to 8 DECIMALS Really guys, for the few that can afford to throw down a $100 without breaking a sweat, I would really do it. There is always a "limited" supply in a way because as time goes on it gets harder and harder to "mine" these coins. Just think about all...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    I suggest getting into Bitcoin. I have made a small little profit over a few days and I really don't see it going down. It is basically in its infancy if you think about it. Other than the well informed I really do not think this is a square trade. In fact, I am guessing most don't even...

    I'm at step 0 regarding systems.

    The easiest to start with would probably be Sierra Charts. They have a "WORKSHEET SYSTEM FOR TRADING" which is designed around excel. So if you know basic excel functions such as = AND ( A2 > 6 , A4 < 5 ) you should be ok. Although, very easy to learn. They also have C++. I have...

    Options Commissions

    If you are not selling options does the higher initial account value still apply? It is just like Fx, the spread and commissions make all the difference in the long run. Sounds like IB options are most ideal.

    Options Commissions

    Thanks for the replies. After looking into it deeper after I got home this evening it says that 10 contracts or lower is going to be 14.95 a side. After that it is 1.50 a contract ( I believe ). The thing is I don't have anywhere near close to IB money ( which I would have used in...

    Options Commissions

    To preface, I know I should have looked deeper into this before execution. So I just paid $14.95 / side commissions to get in and out of 1 SLV contract. I actually made .29 cents on the trade and end up losing money. No wonder why everyone loses on options trading, seriously. I am...

    ES TRADERS: Interested In Tick Size Change?

    There are at least 2000 x 2000 contracts in EMini during regular trading hours. Personally I think problems would arise using strategies that utilized .25 tick and had to switch to a smaller one. This would obviously be most apparent in smaller timeframes.

    AlgoDeal

    lol - so let me get this straight. You have made this website, taken thousands of strategies from others, and then taken all of this information and incorporated with "outside help"? So again, just to reiterate, this was just a large data mining experiment labeled with the guise of something...

    AlgoDeal

    Visited the site a while back and signed up. Only been back a few times - the website , updates , features and activity on the website seems dead? I also see in the support page unanswered questions that have been posted to administrators for weeks now. It seems as though they took all...

    Why the oil pit needs to be closed down, traders sent back to McDonalds

    There isn't anything square about dollar cost averaging.

    was the US attacked by Global Terrorists?

    I was just reading about this here. http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article21816.html Can this be really true? ** EXTERNAL TEXT FROM LINK ** "The sale of USTreasury Bonds in the last two years has exceeded the USGovt debt issuance by $1.5 trillion".

    If anyone is trading the HSI Futures currently, what is the usual slippage you can expect for a market order during RTH? Greater than 1.5 -> 2x tick size?

    Td Ameritrade Think Or Swim Super Dom Simulator

    What are you seriously trying to accomplish? Your first mistake is trading TDA + DOM. This isn't very legitimate. I am sure the CSA had a grin on his face during this conversation.

    Trish Regan Leaves CNBC

    What a shame! God she was a fucking moron, or at least her "TV Persona" was. On the Marijuana USA - First Edition.. "So, what part do you smoke off this tree....?"

    Slippage for trend following system

    I have many things that have just fallen apart. Actually about 99% of them. I work many hours a day, but only have maybe 1% that have kept performing out of all my work. If you are confident I hope you do well.

    Slippage for trend following system

    What timeframes? In my experience I would test the last 10+ years if possible. What you have will break down, usually very quick. Good luck either way though. I don't know your methods etc. but if using Hour Bars what you have isn't significant, IMO.

    Slippage for trend following system

    You will find out reality is usually nowhere near simulation, unfortunately. At least in my experience.
