This thread has now really peaked my interest because I believe everything you just said, but my only burning question is why would you. I believe a cost analysis is in order - we need to determine if it is in your interest to do so. I have no doubts about your figures but it just makes more...

Hi NY0B, What if the servers are hosted on merrill, thats not sterling but wouldnt that be just as bad, since you are basically on a server that is processing all of merrills orders as well. Is that what is meant by non sterling server? Or is there yet a level up that is better, in which...

After thinking about this and realizing that not every one is trading market neutral I think that it may be possible to sit out certain days and have it make a positive impact. The reason I say this is because; what if you have a long only system? And your system tends to do extremely well...

Good points. I think I know the answer to the dilution problem and your why isnt any one manager achieving super trader statistics. Anybody with a strong daily or weekly consistancy, is not going to be trading soley the most efficient and liquid securties, more likely he would be diversified...

Not to speak for him, but I think this question comes up often enough, he probably is already at his strategies maximum potential, because at a certain level it is relatively "easy" to borrow money either through financed over night leverage or profit sharing agreements with your prop firm...

I'll bite, please give me 1 set up for active trading with an edge sharpness rating between, sharp and very sharp. Specifics please, you said "set up", not general strategy. Very excited to hear what you have to say. And thank you for sharing as when I start trading your set ups, it will...

Realistically, I am curious to know how much of a difference does this make. Is this just anecdotal. Say you were to send out hundreds of orders during the open, is sterling servers vs private a measurable difference? Anyone?

:D

I utterly and complete understand where you are coming from. I think if you did back test you might find is this: a winning strategy will win less, and a losing strategy will lose less. Assuming you have a winning strategy then its going to hurt you. You bring up the point of consecutive...

Jed, Seems like most people who trade mechanically successfully, trade as much as their strategy can bear, or their risk tolerance can bear. If you have winning strat you should always trade. The casino never stops for the night just because they are up, they only limit the size of the...

Nevermind, was able to have my broker ok the higher send limit.

REal life facts: ------------------ --------------------------- | stockstalkerv3's trading| --------------------------- Trading account: 10 years =< -25k. Assuming stockstalker is bitter and not successful he will make a post ranting about how hard trading is with a new alias...

Isnt this getting rediculous? Its like making a list of time machines that dont really work. But I suppose if you insist, then why not just make a list of non scams. Would be easier, no? Who the hell makes a list of what NOT to get at the grocery store? Or looks up the bad restaurants that...

You swung for 50k in daily PNL with a 70k account? Did I read that right? impressive, but that sounds like way too much leverage to get a result like that.

I understand your point, It is a very good one. I said originally that of course there should be fundamental protections to protect that from happening. I wouldnt want my grandmother or yours to lose her life savings. Psychics are scams too, and so are most of the beauty creams that tell...

I dont think there should be regulations to protect the gullible. There are certain things that society and governments agree on to provide protection as a matter of fundamental security such as FDIC insurance. We can not and should not protect everyone from everything. Sure most of...

You are saying that your long only strat basically didnt flinch at all m2m from yesterday to today? $173 is nothing the market is down about 1% and your strat only lost $173 m2m? That is incredible, if I think I know what you are saying. Alpha just means that you are out performing vs a...

Even if it is shared, the brokers ultimately can still undo the limitation if they are willing, regardless if they use shared or have thier own servers correct? Thanks for the good information. Im actually in process of transfering strategies to tradelink because it it can act as my all in...

Sterling has a max send order rate of about 25 per second. Does Sterling give permissions to accounts to exceed that? I am waiting for a response from them but just in case their answer is..."no we wont up your send rate", how are some of you bypassing that limit, arent there any people that...

Sterling has a max send order rate of about 25 per second. Does tradelink offer a solution to bypass that, or does that have to be permissioned from sterling. Either way I am waiting for a response from them but just in case their answer is..."no we wont up your send rate", can trade link...
