Shortie's idea wouldn't work because of the 80/20 rule, which is known as Pareto's principle. I agree with you on the poor = stupid & lazy. The part that gets me right now is that the government is providing less service and is increasing the tax it collects. This is just a giant subsidy to...

This most is mainly targeted at Americans, but foreigners are welcome to chime in. I'm just curious why any of you live where you do. Is it because of jobs, family, or the possibility of obtaining a job? A few more questions: - Is your area growing or declining? - Is your local...

There's little utility to using it in Linux, because it looks like your code relies on data feeds to be installed already in order to use their COM objects or APIs. So getting tradelink to run on its own in the absence of other datafeeds is somewhat of an issue. I did look into tradelink and...

I'm on my third pass. First pass, profitable, but I was unhappy with it. Second pass, better, but did not like software arrangement. On the third time around, doing things a little differently but see the light at the end of the tunnel. I doubt I am the only one. So, informal poll, for...

You ask a lot of good questions, to the point where I just read only your posts; however, I am wondering what the source of your time pressure is.

They somehow know whether the component is installed, and execute a sequence of commands to load the component, log in, and download market data. If I wanted to do that on my own account using my own code, how do I do that?

Ah, true. I should not fault you. Thanks for the info. If I had graduated more recently, I would have jumped at that opportunity, as it does sound better than a lot of what is listed out there.

With a series-7 license and 30x BP, borrow 25k from Uncle Vladimir or Cousin Lou and put your retail strategy to work yourself. "Connor Research Group" will be less thankful than Cousin Lou, if you're any good at making money.

If I'm experienced writing trading systems for retail platforms, why would I want to give research to these guys??

Sure, I come up with strategies. I don't know what you mean by "yourself", since almost every strategy I have ever worked with has been a mutation of something else. This is what happens if I pitch an edge: I talk to firm, firm is interested. I speak to firm, firm says "is it your own...

Well, I tried pitching edges to low-tier firms but they don't have the infrastructure or assets under management that I need. High-end firms have very strict requirements, and while I've been chatting with them, I am not confident negotiations will go anywhere. The recruiter on this thread...

I'm getting ready to throw in the towel and just accept something, but my gut tells me I am making a huge mistake. Just figured I'd post and get an opinion before I sell my soul.

I get the usual calls from recruiters and such trying to sell me on dead-end jobs, but what I hear lately is that the job market is really terrible even in this field. Any thoughts? I got forced back into the job market because my wife took a job in another city. I'm not having problems...

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.5eaf6bbb255b23063c3b3635bd5f7c52.161&show_article=1#idc-cover This is not something I would have expected our government to do, right or wrong. What is going on? And what are the implications for possible conflict affecting the energy markets?

I have to move east (no choice), but have no job lined up. I worked as a quant/strategist and programmer, but now I have to look for a job again. Can someone point me to the best places to apply? I have not been following the job market for some time, but the recruiters are so full of crap...
