    windows RDP issue

    Looks like I'll just write myself a simple server-client app for my comp and phone that will run in the remote's background and give me a live update of positions, and I'll just log into the server if something goes awry. It'll be for sterling and android phones. If anyone is interested in a...

    windows RDP issue

    Thanks for the useful info propseeker. That's what I was suspecting but it didn't make sense. Wow. So you think it uses extra CPU resources when trying to establish a good connection? I had a CPU fan issue before and it would sometimes reach 80C giving me a warning, usually at the end of...

    windows RDP issue

    I have a server co-located near the exchange. Why is it that when my home internet is acting up and transferring slowly (to everything, not just my server) that my orders get sent out much more slowly. If my home internet is fine I can send out about 100 or so orders a second but when it's laggy...

    How do they do it?

    when everyone swings for the fences a few are bound to make 10x. simple variance. just like how every night some people will make 10x their money at the roulette table though i'm sure some might have legit systems

    bid/ask question

    If you bid on a certain ECN like BATS and you're the only person there and the seller sells at 10 to BATS specifically then you will get filled first. If there are others already bidding on BATS then you will be the last to get filled on BATS. If someone sells a large order at 10 then it will...

    Grinding it out, day after day

    Seeking Advice: Title Trading Interview

    You consider 20 cents per 1000 a lot? Where can one get a better deal? Yes 40% is low, but what else can you expect as someone who has never traded before. When you're new and not making money, there's no difference between 40% or 80% of nothing.

    Seeking Advice: Title Trading Interview

    Cool. I wish prop firms would trade against me. Imagine all the liquidity and price improvements I could get! They could sell before I buy, or hit my bids. Would be awesome

    Seeking Advice: Title Trading Interview

    Well, I wouldn't agree with all that. I started at 40% as total newb and moved up to 65% as I made more money and I left because I wanted a better deal (just like anyone should when they start making real money). Commissions and sterling fee always remained the same at .20/1000 and $150. There...

    Anybody would like to collaborate on building trading strategies?

    Sigh.... I've seen a lot of your posts and let me tell you what your problem is. You have no real trading experience. You're trying to fit a strategy onto data. You will probably never get real forward results this way. I started out just like you. I tested every indicator known to man on...

    Seeking Advice: Title Trading Interview

    Which office? I had to put up a deposit at one of the Title branches in Toronto 3 years ago. You should be interviewing them. The most important questions are "Does anyone at this office make real money?" "Does the person who is going to train me make money?" "Do the managers make...
