    Your Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They’re Not Keeping It Secret

    Since most of the 2g networks have shut down, they're super secure because they won't even ever connect to a cell tower:D

    GBPUSD Brexit washout

    Brilliant "indicators", those are! Somehow managed to completely miss the real world Brexit actions that are what actually drive the GBP. Shocking, just shocking!

    How can Altria stock go up 71000% since 1981 when U.S cigarette consumption dropped 44%?

    The R&D part totally makes sense, good point.

    How can Altria stock go up 71000% since 1981 when U.S cigarette consumption dropped 44%?

    I think that would be a radical departure in business strategy for them that doesn't make any sense. And not the marijuana part, the buying land part. Altria is primarily a marketing and distribution company, not a tobacco growing company. I'm pretty sure they don't grow any crop of any kind...

    what happened to Argentina?

    If only Argentina had lower taxes their economic woes would be over! Argentina's economy is where it is for a number of reasons, many complex. High taxes aren't among them, regardless of any pipe dream you may subscribe to that cutting taxes is some kind of magic that can fix anything, even...

    I am done with Futures... going back to Forex

    But, but it's possible! Now let's talk about a time a bucket shops in Cyprus sold order flow and someone caught it on YouTube and made a meme out of it.:D

    Selling Premium - Strategy Never Discussed

    As an electrical engineer I found MATLAB very easy to learn and use. The problem is that while it's perfect for EE type problems it's not really a full-on programming language so, for example, you wouldn't want to use it to code in any kind of trading algorithm ever. I haven't done a lot with R...

    Selling Premium - Strategy Never Discussed

    It actually does, calculate it over the last 50 years. That aside, remember the numerator is the portfolio return minus the risk free rate. Your comment assumes the risk free rate was always in the low single digits like today.

    I am done with Futures... going back to Forex

    It makes sense that the IB would need to check that you're order is within their risk parameters since they're on the hook for it. I always assumed they integrated that functionality with the FCM's checks. If not it's definitely a business opportunity for an FCM that offers that functionality to...

    Selling Premium - Strategy Never Discussed

    Careful of cherry picking time-frames with Sharpe ratios. Almost by definition the Sharpe ratio of a broad based index like the S&P 500 approaches 1 over time. If you cut things into short enough time-frames they'll diverge, but again almost by definition that is noise. If you're really thinking...

    I haven't used an IB so ignorant questions, but aren't you often able to get into those firms with lower asset levels with an IB? And does an IB always require that you go through their infrastructure?

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    It's almost depressing how inevitable it is that you devolve into ad hominem attacks when everything else you've said is shown to be bullshit. Listen, if you an @Overnight want to have a sausage festival with a bunch of frustrated heterosexual guys sniveling together united in your fear of women...

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    From the first line of the article "A New York woman became the subject of ridicule and hatred on social media after she falsely accused a boy of groping her while she was shopping inside a deli." Doesn't sound like a world trending in your direction of impending doom to all the poor cowardly...

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    First off, sexual harrasment and rape are two very different things. The video you posted, if it was experienced in a workplace, would constitute sexual harassment in nearly every case. Rape is a much more violent crime that involves penetration in most cases. Sexual harrasment is far more...

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    So again I ask you, what are you advocating we do about the real harm that is happening every minute of every day as women are sexually harassed and now apparently discriminated against because of this irrational fear of what at this point is clearly a vanishingly rare (but possible!) event...

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    Anything can happen Overnight. You can get hit by blue ice falling from a plane, your car engine could throw a rod through your chest, the natural gas line that goes to your house could explode, you could be falsely convicted for murder... All these are possible but vanishingly rare events, in...

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    It was provided in direct response to me as an example to my question asking for a specific example of anyone's personal experience of a stand-up professional suffering consequences from a false sexual harassment accusation as a result of an innocent handshake or smile! Still the only example...

    Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

    Once again I very specifically asked for a single example of someone you or any other poster personally know who were harmed by a false sexual harassment accusation that came from nothing more than an innocuous handshake or smile, which were two specific examples cited here that the posters were...
