well when we were looking how to solve this particular issue, the solution seemed obvious. At that time 1/2 year ago, the cost of a router that can splice both conections into one was about $2k. It wasn't worht for us, but we have a one switch system, where if on connection goes down, we flip a...

thanks Don. I guess attaching a little bit of $ to a mistake makes you learn quick. I only looked at the news release made buy the company, that indicated the record date w/o x-div. thanks. m.

My thinking was along the lines of Inandlong, since I thought record date is the real deal, but blackguard says I will still be "the corporation" since I had the short position during the x-Date. What's the consensus? m.

here is the question. a particular stock x-div date: 8/12/03 record date: 8/14/03 Pmt date: 10/1/03 Say I am short 1000 shares prior the x-date, and I close it before the record date, BUT after the X-date, will my account be debitted for the dividend at time of PMT? thanks a...

is a all boys night out?

I want to be able to use more than 3 symbols per advanced spread chart. I mean how hard it would be to de-limit from current limitations of 3 symbols per spread chart. mkmps

You can definetly add value by applying some NN techiniques to your system. Basically, from my experience no single Neuraral Net to my knowledge can step forward w/o significant error. However, where it proves invaluable is tweaking the system that you already have, i.e. you have particular...

I agree with Caltrader that nothing of substance realting to capital markets is available YET to the best of my knowledge, other than some PhD papers that usually target different applications of NN's, but the basic algorythms can be inferred from the literature, since getting the basic...

I agree with the above comment, since I would never try to use anything like I have now for intraday trading, NN are good at data mining and "fitting" to historical data, and, if set-up wrong have no use to try to play out different scenarios of the future. The key is to split the historical...

food for thought: best of my knowledge, larger part of europe tax system is totally based on paycheck deductions, it has no such thing as tax filing after the fiscal year ends. I am Lithuanian by nationality, and there is zero tax on cap gains from derivatives and something like 10% on...

Even though, my own personal perception of this question is somewhat two-sided, i do enjoy an argumented debate:) Relating H1-B's to the bubble that had happened in the WORLDWIDE economy is absurd. There are tons more immigrants working in Germany, England and other countries with pay and...

those 200k people that get H1-B's are usually very smart and productive. Another side of this equation is academics. I have a couple of Ph.D. students friends that are on H1 just doi ng research for pennies. So there are 2 side of the story. Besides, there are limits imposed on companies that...

Answering someone who was saying that H1-B's take their jobs :))) That is the funniest thing I've ever heard. If you loose your job and you're on H1-b you've got roughly 1 month to get your stuff and leave to STAY LEGAL, or get another sponsor. H1 ar eonly given for 3 yr period 6 year beeing the...

yeah, obscure job description with a requirement to know some BOGUS IT procurrement system in the ad does the job too. Telling you, H1-B is not hard to get, just need motivation and an employer willing to pay you. Trading proffession, however, is a lot more finicky, as pay is not rated by "the...

well it is rather easy to rectify the "shortage" issue. You do some "out of target advertising" (like printing an ad for a trader in a Town Gossip Gazzette for senior homes) and providing proof of no qualified candidates is usually sufficient. Usually the harder point to prove is that a 4...

actually, a statement from a foreign country authorities does fine for the background check as well. But I agree Uncle Sam DOES make it 100 harder for non-US people to come to US as a trader per se. I am sure it is possible and if you're a big money trader, then its no problem since you can...

Not for traders, since "trader" is not a proffession withing the INS system of allowable proffessional visas to be isues. Plus there has to be a "guaranteed" salary that is par with industry standards for the area... And most traders don't get a regular same-to-the-cent paycheck from the payroll...

the expectancy that +3 will be hit is 12.5%.

This a modified binomial distribution, essentially same principles are used for pricing options via binomial model. Simple way to approach it, is just to set-up a simple binomial distribution tree and see what happens. It is obvious that from purely mathematical perspective the expectation to...

thanks for discussing remote trading in this much detail. To me the major part of why day-trading is so attractive is cause you aren't really tied down to a "cubicle" and with a little creativity and "balls" you're not tied down to a country or a continent. I've lived in several countries thus...
