    'Quant' hedge funds headed for worst month since Aug 2007

    I would argue that 1) you need to be able to identify trends with sufficient precision that you capture enough real moves and 2) early enough that the ones that play out cover the cost of the ones that don't - for this to happen you need big trends even with that precision.

    'Quant' hedge funds headed for worst month since Aug 2007

    Has been a long wait so far (at least outside of ET) Markets move between phases where almost anybody can make money to phases where almost nobody can make money. Sure, markets will at some time go back to the kind of trend where people with no experience (the less the better) can make...

    'Quant' hedge funds headed for worst month since Aug 2007

    Seems it has not been working for some time. Seems the "we have this black box" pitch has also stopped working. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=EMG.L&t=5y&l=off&z=l&q=b&c= Presumably MAN's AHL is making a killing on the trend in MAN stock.

    'Quant' hedge funds headed for worst month since Aug 2007

    Seems they are finding out just like any newbie that moving average cross overs don't work once the bull market is over.

    Private trader is King of short selling

    Considering he is using his own resources not scaling up with other peoples money that is pretty respectable. Less than the average FX trader on ET admittedly, but Calkwell is equities so does not have the benefit of 24 hour trading and all that FX liquidity.

    IF memory is not an issue and DVI resolutions are OK NVS440 is another ebay possible. 450 uses displayport - can be problematic

    High-Speed Trading No Longer Hurtling Forward

    My guess is that HFT to give a return on equity (funds invested) has to use a lot of leverage - less leverage available or higher cost of funds would likely impact profitability i.e. it is a Fed baby as much as a structural edge baby (Bats flash orders etc)

    VWAP Indicator

    Hijack: Anyone know of a TS or Multicharts indicator that allows you to calculate VWAP between two specified dates for a time period maybe as much as several months apart. i.e. LT VWAP

    serious post- how many have Enlarged Prostates ?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostatic_stent Cure worse than the disease? - but fitted in 15 minutes and I would have thought better than having to get up 2 or 3 times or more a night with resultant disturbed sleep effects.

    serious post- how many have Enlarged Prostates ?

    Always wondered the same - without going to my 'Gray's Anatomy', maybe muscular spasms of procreation too strong?

    Brief computer freeze

    As we are touching on this 3.2 issue: Can anybody remember the software switch in XP (or I think writing to/altering a text file) that increases the amount of RAM available to apps vs OS - I think default is something like 2GB to OS and 1 for apps - can change to 1 for OS 2 for apps I think...

    BRIC - the new emerging world superpower

    How's that Brazilian/BRIC economic miracle coming along? Seems you are having the same problems rather than showing us how to do it as you seem to think. Wonder if there is any correlation with Iron ore prices? http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/429b641c-fe88-11e1-8028-00144feabdc0.html...

    serious post- how many have Enlarged Prostates ?

    Add: No erection can be from enlarged Prostate impinging on the 'off" switch nerve bundles - probably a simplification but seems like it. As enlargement subsides day by day, strength starts to return day by day - from a situation where it feels* like trying to turn on a PC or TV that's not...

    serious post- how many have Enlarged Prostates ?

    Deep seated infection of prostate might be something to consider - if infection gets there from another source the bodies immune system has problem getting at it. Very difficult to shift as prostate capsule difficult for antibiotics to penetrate - the one that does is unavailable in US (PM me...

    Cloning an old PC HDD with XP and progs and settings to boot/work in new PC

    Putting this in a new thread as I seem to have incurred the wrath of the gurus as nobody came in to supply the magic answer when i tacked it onto an old thread I am sure I have seen multiple discussions on this on ET where they were describing doing it as I describe below but I can't find...
