    Energy market manipulation

    Could be that. What I meant was that you should have backtest you thing on say, 2009 (in sample) and then select your pairs and adjust your parameter values with that data. Then, with this, you backtest (out of sample) on 2010 data and see if it holds becaues it is that that you would have...

    Interpreting Swap Rate Quotations

    When both are negative it is because they pay/charge the rollover rate + a spread. So of the rollover is 0.25% and that use a 0.5% spread over the rollover then they pay -0.25% and charge -0.75%. Making it both negative. As far as sign convention I believe a negative is a charge and positive a...

    trading gold/ silver to be illegal beginning july 15, 2011?

    Can't find where I read that over the w-e right now but I guess this is why CMC markets stopped offering "futures" on gold.

    Highfrequency with IB

    Then it all depends on you. You can program you stuff with the C++ API so processing speed is on your side. As said before quotes are updated every 250 ms or so. There are limitations on the number of quote request you can make in a given period of time. If that is a problem you can use an...

    Highfrequency with IB

    With IB comish is very very high for HFT. Their API updates the quotes only every 250 ms or so as long as I remember. It is a snapshot and not real tick data. Conclusion, no way you can do real HFT with IB.
