A martingale system will give you a 100% success rate until it wipes you out.

Good point. I've already been affected by that first hand, and it caused me to shut down that particular strategy.

I heard the Nas OMX is also considering this for the US market (the slew of cancellations immediately preceding the start of Facebook trading didn't help the case for algo traders). Personally I think this is a net positive for the markets that, if successful, could help stave off a financial...

Thx! Worked perfectly!

I just downloaded the zip file. To install the patch, do I just copy over all the files to the existing QuoteTracker folder and overwrite the old duplicate files? (Sorry if this is a stupid question)

Anyone know when the ruling should be issued?

Personally I think they should strike down the individual mandate and then send it back to Congress to sort it out by either having a revote or modifying it to get the necessary votes. Obviously Congress as it's constituted would never pass Obamacare now, but that shouldn't be the Supreme...

I'm pretty certain of how the four conservative and four liberal justices will vote, but Kennedy seems to have been leaning both ways in his questioning.

It's still looking 50-50 to me right now. What do you think?

Just to provide an update (since I found this thread on a search and others may likewise find it), the Yahoo Finance earnings calendar http://biz.yahoo.com/research/earncal/today.html provides ticker, date, and time. Estimates are only provided for future ERs. And, although it looks like they...

This is the biggest tempest in a teapot non-story. For everyone who thinks that Wall St. is just a bunch of fatcats, the words from a disgruntled former non-executive just gives them more fodder for slamming a firm that makes a ton of money.

+1 Let's not forget also that (1) non-profits are forbidden under federal law from engaging in political activity, yet non-profit unions are the most blatant political activists and power brokers in the country, and (2) unions are exempt from antitrust laws. These two circumstances alone...

So glad I didn't act on this thought and short GRMN back then. It's up >20% since!

What's with the youtu.be url? Is this a malicious link?

Comintel, Just found this thread via google. Looks like the big boys (aka, Bill Ackman) are agreeing with you now. Did you ever find a proxy for cheaply leveraging the HKD?

I'm looking how GRMN already announced it was exiting the consumer handheld market to focus on airplane GPSs, and then I see reviewers out there that favor the iPad as a cheaper alternative to the Garmin for the low-end airplane GPS market, which shrinks their potential even more. They already...

I have a question for the stats studs out there: If I developed a system that when backtested creates a smooth upward daily equity curve (i.e., >99% correlation) incorporating >3611 trades over 427 days, is it even necessary to do an in-sample/out-of-sample test on that? I can understand...

My absolute favorite strategy, which has banked me money without fail every single trading day for the past nine years and which has enabled me to live the life I've always dreamed of...
