Of course it's legal, but it's probably not free, for example EODdata.com. But really, if you can figure out how to parse and use that data, it's not much harder to collect it yourself in real time.

Start testing with just 100 shares... but also have a basic knowledge of your platform so you can trade out of your positions manually if something goes wrong.

Except, exporting puts upward pressure on the yuan. Less exporting won't help to strengthen the yuan.

Especially with an SSD, the hardware should be pretty durable, even the batteries nowadays are a lot better. The fan/hinge/body damage are usually the first problems you will encounter. My laptop fan was not running smooth after about 3 years, I had some crazy geek tear it apart, clean out the...

The market doesn't lend itself to such a neat analysis, you should say I'd be happy to achieve a positive Sharpe and getting 1.0 would be fantastic. You didn't mention how you decided on your first trades, have you found some algorithms with your backtesting?

True, but with options, one way or another your gonna pay for these benefits, so it's not such a clear decision. Unless, if you have an idea of the magnitude of the move you are targeting, you can have an advantage using options, like another poster has mentioned.

If you want a pure play and need leverage... just use ES futures

Well I wonder why, look at the rate China has been increasing M2 the last 30 years, far above and beyond the economic growth, it basically impossible for any economic numbers to look bad, except for inflation (which is CRAZY right now in any area where the people who have all the money are...

A lot of economic headlines these days... even mum is getting curious

volpunter, you're right, that's the engine of China's wealth, but my point was China is reaching the point of not being competitive any more. I live in China part-time and 95% of young people here will not work in a factory even for double the salary of the last generation (and I don't blame...

Good point, but there's also a limit to how far you can get with clever management in a corrupt country. Regardless of cleverness, regardless of how much money you print, or how you play with the numbers.... China cannot not surpass the West until people would pay more for a product made in...

The main difference is Amazon is in VA, about 20-25ms to my broker in NY, and commericalnetworkservices is in NY, less than 1ms to my broker's servers. Both are super reliable, I am very satisfied now with CNS, the price is good for a NY location and I have not had an single outage or...

Yeah it's limited, but I think there's a place for this for discrectionary traders, who can mock up some simple rules to handle trades without having to be glued to the screen....

Forget dollar amounts, as long as you are following the plan, and keeping a nice equity curve with limited drawdowns, all this is already yours, just need to wait a bit.

Yes it appears on the tape.... but that may be 90 seconds too late. A real example, might be in real time, testing the dark pool with 100 shares buy or sell. If you are filled, it's an indication that there is a sophisticated (and possibly large) trader playing the other side. But I haven't...

Yes, within 90 seconds, they are reported to the TRF and do appear on the consolidated tape.

It's the same market. Think of the emini bids and asks and the collective bids and asks for the stocks in the S&P 500 as being a single market, a single entity. If they get decoupled, it's like a crossed market (bid > ask), and somebody fast is going to do the abitrage and take the risk-free money.

DUST is inverse gold miners ETF (like inverse of GDX) not inverse gold.

Don't see where he was a trader for 10 years (Looks like he had previously done some value investing without leverage)... seems he earned the inital money from a 100k / year job in Shanghai and being an entepreneur. Then in the bull market his account ran up from 1 million to over 3 million USD...

The thought did cross my mind... what if they go through a charade of reforms... then as soon as they can, the first significant chunk of money they get, spend it to stabilize the system and buy gold/hard assets... maybe short a bunch of European stock futures... and then suddenly Grexit. Seems...
