Sure, Capital Market Revolution: The Future of Markets in an Online World by Patrick Young, Thomas Theys (out of print) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0273642324/ref=pd_sxp_f/002-3780621-2631264 and forthcoming: The New Capital Market Revolution: The Winners, Losers and the...

Hello ??? Chicago speaking?? Is it true that the S&P pit operates without a specialist? No, you must be nuts, I don't believe it, it's impossible for ANY market to operate without a specialist. Hello?? Frankfurt?? Is it true that EUREX operates fully electronically without market makers or...

very explicit and easy to understand, I mean to replicate.

no I was not knocking your strategy, no need to get defensive man, what i meant is just that people like you are putting out of business the big funds, that's why "the boys" hate us no more big slow dumb money to front run. I have read and people have told me that pairs weren't working for them...

ESO (extended sexual orgasm) by Alan and Donna Brauer

OK I might believe it if only buddist monks are allowed to be specialists. But my point is: are specialists and market makers really necessary for markets to work efficiently?? Do they play a socially worthy role?? One of the great things about the free market is that it tends to put...

Exactly Dan, the very existence of specialists and market makers makes the whole system suspicious. Everything should be electronic and with public order books. A true believer in free markets will agree with me that markets can keep themselves orderly and liquid, with minimal intervention from...

TA?? yum yum... arf arf good that you were able to make it back. yeah i understand your pairs strategy, as GE started to diverge from your other stock you started to buy GE and sell the other. and yeah unexpected news can seriously screw the strategy, so let's see if don spends less $$ on...

ndqnca: Some bit of constructive criticism: at 12:30 the sp futures broke an important time-price support level, i was looking to get long too, but the breakout made me change my mind and went short. it looks to me like csfb traders already had knowledge of the release at 12:20, and because...

Right, plus, no wimp bureaucrat will ever mess with the deep pockets of Paul Tudor Jones, Bruce Kovner, and the like. These guys are much better than the crooks who own Harvey "fat bastard" Pitt. When the futures guys take your money they do it fair and square and always give you a rematch, on...

hey guys why don't you send your complains to sen. Tom Daschle and give him ammunition to kick Pitt out of the SEC. "My enemy's enemy is my friend"

I concentrated so hard that ... EDIT: Too much of a hint Buzzy, you would not want to spoil it for everyone else :) This was edited by The Moderator...

very very chillingly close er.... now that you mention it... they don't have meriweather's picture in the lobby at jpm but guess what? robert merton (one of ltcm partners) was a "senior advisor" there from 1999 until 2001.

GSCO is already buying puts on JPM and putting up derivative positions contrary to JPM's. The downside for them is low, and the potential gains are huge, think about gs buying jpm-chase for cents on the dollar. I wouldn't buy puts right away though, greenscam might lower rates and blow up any...

I am just trying to "explain" differences in executions among different brokers. IB does NOT provide the best possible executions. Maybe I am wrong about the scalping theory, maybe IB got fined just because they're stupid, maybe they have bad executions just because their equipment and software...

that if there isn't a trail there is no way to verify any customer complaint. think about electronic "paper shredding". timber hill has been fined for similar reasons in the past. it's not the first time this has happened. if you are an IB customer you may have noticed that it's very...

And when nobody's doing it you better start thinking about doing it :D

mettooxx knows what he's talking about. he obviously has the experience.

:) just kidding nitro. :) my point was: it's easy to find fault in others if you don't read/listen carefully. i was talking about data types AND memory management. the guy in questions uses apparently nice, intuitive C++ classes to store financial data, but it wastes RAM like crazy. for...
