it's less than 25, but regardless, there are perks. anonymity, reduced market impact etc. except for the arb crowd, there are relatively few people who make markets in db's. it's mostly buyside moving size on longer term plays.

2. yes, you need to route to nyse. 3. for < 100 shares oddlot, not sure. > 100 no restriction. no other restrictions i'm aware of.

http://www.us.abnamroclearing.com/contactus.asp re: ib's... sure. give them a call, i'm sure they'll point you in the right direction. i only know of one for hft, but they only deal with larger wads. pm me if that's your game. fwiw, i hear their short list beats the pants out of gsec's...

abn. heard they lowered the amt gsec raised.

i have civil conversations with other men i respect. what's going on here is more akin to how i would speak to a woman or a child when they've done something i do not approve of. if they are at fault, backpeddling and squirming usually transpires, and if they are not quick to apology or make the...

so the whole "we share strategies because there's risk" argument you put forth earlier... should that just be disregarded? now it's on a volunteer basis? first lesson in sounding credible: be consistent.

yea, i don't have any problems with that either, but that's because you didn't say anything. a very good don impression: 'well, "risk" isn't exactly what we like to call our flavor of strategy management, since really the strategy is worked through many levels of our business process. at...

you can do sub millis within thread, but if you do any context switching, your stuck with os granularity, which as the poster you responded to said, is around 10-15ms depending on which flavor you're running. windows isn't an rtos, sorry.

no, we're not. don, you started off justifying the sharing of your auto traders' strategies because of the high financial risk involved using having to turn off computers (plural) because of programming errors as an example of how much risk you're taking on: it went from that, to where now...

there's a foreign fund exemption. feeders are going to become very popular.

i don't misinterpret things. if you have traders that can do things that you don't want them to do, then you have sloppy risk control. period. passing the buck to the trader does not absolve you of responsibility. i gave concrete suggestions, but feel free to ignore them... they WILL come back...

i would let you do whatever you wanted to do within risk guidelines i set. orders per second, $ per order, $ per position, $ per acct, etc. these would be hard-coded into my risk mgmt interface which each of your orders would go through. this is how a real auto-firm handles things. it's called...

it's not unreasonable when they're doing something they shouldn't be: using non-existent sec regs as leverage. to each his own though...

you see, this is an example of a firm that you wouldn't want to do any auto-trading with (imo, after that crap, ANY trading). you never ask for code, but you "may" share the stragey huh? how honorable of you. ridiculous that you would disclose this in public. if something goes haywire, you...

there's no regulatory requirement from sec/finra. since you won't name names, i will. i only know of one well known firm who does this, and that's assent. the mgr your friend spoke to is either misinformed or trying to justify their policy by lying. regardless, the official reason they do...

dinn made good points. the last one would be the market is reacting to your limits and pricing you out. it happens.

has to do with the sec breathing down everyones' necks about subs. gets expensive to have to deal with those guys in your office everyday for months. hold i've heard is babysitting them too, but gen ended up throwing in the towel... obviously wasn't worth the headache.

ferocious rise? it's up 2% in the last few sessions after getting pummeled for weeks, and it's still down over 13% from the highs of the year. there's nothing ferocious about the dollar anymore, except how quickly the world is losing confidence in it.

i definitely think it's just a european thing. the euro's are incredibly non-flashy. i remember when i was in monaco last year sipping cognac aboard this trite 250 ft yacht and i repeated the same quote in my best french accent. everyone laughed and unanimously agreed. truly, it felt warm to be...

a better question is, why is the usa trying to destroy the usa...
