First of all, you need an edge. Going long just because a stock just went up is not an edge. You may think you can take a penny or two but it's not that easy. If it was, we'd all be doing it and making an absolute killing without any exposure 10,000 times a day.

Unless you're a programmer, don't even think about it. You could pay someone to program something for you but IMO HF trading requires a lot of tweaking and if you can't write code then you'll constantly be bothering the programmer. The time frame of the majority of my HF trades are between...

Today I wanted to see how far I could push the ATS in VB6. Currently registered 1200 symbols and have yet to get over 2/10ths of a second of lag. QPS are in the mid thousands sometimes, but most of the time sits between 500-2000. I'll add another 1000 or so tomorrow. I was stuck doing only 150...

Yup, there is a sucker born every minute. And if what you actually preach is true, then you are obviously the sucker. Idiots on this board.... sheesh. Probably the same guys who bought Marl the Bot Geez, why do I even bother to open these threads. I guess I'm an idiot too.

10,000 people die everyday. Why can't you be one of them?

I wouldn't trade that system. Looking at the equity curve alone, there are two 1 year periods before new equity highs, and some half year periods before new equity highs. Plus some big drawdowns to boot (50%+). I don't trade ones with greater than 15-20%, and on to of that your biggest drawdown...

Well, in C#.NET I can only receive up to about 700 quotes per second when using a counter in the QuoteUpdate event (and nothing but a counter in the event), whereas in VB6 I have received up to 5000 quotes per second and that also includes all the code I execute for my ATS, even including GUI...

What languages are you guys developing in? Anyone have quote bottlenecks with .NET languages? The MDX case I mentioned earlier, what other instances does that happen? It was the first time I noticed something like that today. Generally I run 1 main ATS from open to close, and I load up a few...

I just noticed something today into the close. If you run a program in which you RegisterForAllMDX, and then run another program which will RegisterQuote, the MDX messages get resent in the first program for all the symbols you register in the second program (even if you don't RegisterForMDX...

damn, those specs are incredibly sexy now you can play Crysis on max settings. i on the other hand, can only play on med settings at 1680x1050 resolution :(

Well, that's actually old school thinking. Nowadays its considered better to go ATG (ass to the grass/ground) because it puts less pressure on the knees. Plus it'll work out more of your legs and lower back. In powerlifting competitions its always ATG (I don't mean literally to the ground, but...

What about when they do their curls inside the squat rack cause they're too lazy to bend all the way down to pick it up. Get outta there boy!!! Go play on the damn smith machine

All you need are those 3 plus some military presses, bent over rows, weighted dips and chins to make up 95% of your routine. I wish more people knew that. Watching people spend all their time doing 5 different types of curls makes me laugh. YAAAA FEEEL THAT BURNNNNN

misc section in the bb.com forums is the best way to waste away hours everyday :D p.s. not for the mature

:D :D :D

Worried about not making money for the 1st month? Expect 1 year before you can even pay the rent. Unless they hand you something that works which by the sound of things they won't be able to do. Did your model require overnights? Can't do that at swift.

Don't be fooled by randomness.

At a prop firm, there is a manager account which sees all trades. It's very easy to automate a program that mimics every trade. Don't ask me how I know, I just know.

Optimizing technical indicators. That's gonna make you a lot of money trading....

I don't know a whole lot about this type of thing so I thought I should ask before going to pick up the gear on the weekend. What's currently the best setup for performance and protection right now? RAID 0+1? The Raptors seem tempting but I'm not sure if they justify the costs. Seems like...
