Ugh......perhaps... Dodd Frank? Err...maybe...like...I don't know.

Austin, look man, you are acting like we are Catholic nuns and when we traded 10 years ago we were feeding the poor after the market closed and helping raise orphan children. We were not. My firm in particular destroyed stocks, absolutely destroyed them. In fact, we did so much damage that...

The OP was grounded. Something about not taking out the trash.

Bright is going to want 50k. I don't think T3 is going to let you hold overnights. Same with Avatar.

Would you agree with the statement that trading the sim combines at TST is more stressful yet also more productive then doing say a free sim using Ninja?

That's all true... and exactly where did all of this peak "efficiency" come from? Technology HFTs and the free reign to front-run orders, manipulate price moves (endless flash-crash events happening all the time) and drain true liquidity from thinner markets (no fills unless you chase price)...

All questions that can be answered through basic economics. I've discussed this endlessly on this forum. The markets, like all markets, are becoming more and more efficient. Most traders, not all, but most make their money in some shape or form by exploiting inefficiencies. All...

"They" know. "They" always know. You know who "they" are right? I can't tell you if you don't know because "they" might be reading this. :)

Go to market......filled......end of story. Go cry me a river. Oh wait, I forgot, your margins are a fraction of a penny so if some HFT shaves off a fifth of copper, your businesses is rendered useless. Nice dude. I think regulations are the least of your worries. I'm more worried...

Yeah dude, that's pair trading. And your struggles to trade pairs has nothing to do regulations. Your struggles might just be tied to the fact that stat correlation is just a teensy bit played out bud. Yeah, the day Grandma can run a fully integrated pairs program is usually a good sign...

You seem to be arguing with ScalperJoe, not with me. I'm suggesting guys NOT take the funding. They should use TST as a training tool. And the 1099 issue, that's a pretty easy workaround. Back when I had a 1099 I set up an S-Corp and that mitigated most of the tax liability. I don't...

Yeah, ugh, bullets were not from the 1980's, they only went away around 2002. And if you are struggling as a market neutral trader with the VIX at 6 I'm not sure what to tell you. Don't get mad that all the bullshit gimmicks are gone from the market. That was never trading to begin with.

Well, we confirmed a monthly A up this month. Number line is flat. I see no reason to be short. I wouldn't be long either though as my monthly number line does not confirm the monthly A up.

Dude, you are living in dreamland. Public friendly? Commissions were 200% higher, spreads were 50% wider, I had to actually pay for real time quotes. And oh lord, the holding of orders so others could jump ahead of you. Shit man, the trading firm I worked for robbed you...

Well, I made reference to him being a Greek 3 headed God. Some on this board seem to feel that anyone that can pass the combine must be some mythical creature that is only rumored to exist with no actual sightings. So yeah, there is a similarity to big foot I guess. Of course I think 100's...

Crispy, don't let him get to you. He is just angry at you because your existence pretty much renders all of his arguments useless.

See dude, you keep moving the goal posts. You make a statement, someone refutes it, you move the goal posts. This is getting tiresome. Your argument is of course nonsensical. Because even if he wasn't at TST and trading his own money by your own definition he wouldn't be making jack...

Here's the other side of the coin': http://go.bloomberg.com/market-now/2014/05/16/as-wall-street-banks-retreat-on-pay-buy-side-rises/ Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

A bias does not create an inefficiency. Inefficiencies are usually structural. Just because everyone is bullish does not mean the market is not efficient. Value is discovered by measuring what people are willing to give up to purchase what they want. As the old floor traders use to say...

That part is actually not true. The T4 sim time stamps your order in the que which means you do NOT get an immediate fill. It was actually one of the gripes I had at the time. There was even slippage on market orders and stop orders. In fact, if you go back and read the thread, there were...
