    Tradestation "EasyLanguage" vs Multicharts "PowerLanguage"

    Multiple time frame trading wasn't in our immediate stack, but I could see the technique as very valuable. I will look into that further. Will also look at AlgoTerminal. Appreciate the suggestions! T

    Tradestation "EasyLanguage" vs Multicharts "PowerLanguage"

    Both of these languages share a common beginning, but I have read Multicharts' extension to their version is supposed to have some good algo features. A London outfit, QuantSavvy, has an interesting take with their comparison between TS, MC and NinjaTrader. TradeStation came out on top in...

    Free Python wrapper around TD Ameritrade API

    The devil is always in the details. The usefulness of a standard is largely dependent upon its ability to simplify/solve a problem for a broad set of users. Further research turned up the FIX protocol. it was very impressive but far into overkill for what my interest is. thanks for your...

    Free Python wrapper around TD Ameritrade API

    Guru, It seems to me that there could be a "higher level" data interchange "standard" for these type wrappers across broker/dealers. My thinking: Most of the high level parameters of placing an order are the same irrespective of broker used. Symbol, #shares, buy/sell, GTC/Day, etc. It would...

    I wrote a bot and gave it 25k to trade

    Terminus, I am interested in the “stable” products you used to construct your bot. Can you give us a high level view of the software infrastructure products in play here and how it is interfaced at IB? Kudos! T

    The Slumping South

    Live and let live is a good construct. The problem arises when one side becomes so self perceived superior ... intellectually, economically, etc that it must force its culture (and laws) upon on the other which has fallen to sub-human levels (at least in their perception). Trotsky, Mao, Pol...

    The Slumping South

    Broad brushes poorly held generally slop pretty far outside the lines. But that's fine. Stay happy in your progression.

    Milk is bad for humans

    We drove by a new, small, no hormone dairy recently and tried some of their 2%. I was shocked. I had not tasted milk so good since I was growing up in the 50's where a "milkman" delivered fresh, directly to the house. Next time we drove by, the discussion revealed they used a 'batch...

    The exodus of New York City’s endangered middle class

    Before trading, my day job of 30 yr took me from NYC to Nawlins with lots of time all along the route. Jersey burbs to eastern KY backwoods. Memphis shooting range to Pecan Island mosquitos/gators. Worked for the multi$B corp down to running my own. It's been my experience that culturally, the...

    The exodus of New York City’s endangered middle class

    LOL ... jeez my imagination is way too good ... SLE hit it on the head. Financial independence gives you all the options and control you desire. I am right there. My point though is that many people can easily afford the benefits of Xurbia, but they really can't handle the cultural change if...

    Power from the people: homes paid to supply electricity to the grid

    Not as a significant percentage. With tens or hundreds of thousands of devices pumping current back into the grid, can you imagine the Mgmt nightmare that will be? I can imagine multiple devices partially or fully out of sync destroying each others' energy and simply heating up transmission...

    The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies

    The degree to which they went to make an active component look like a surface mount passive component, shows the degree of stealthiness the nefariousness of their activity dictated. This isn't a basement hacker looking for gaming money. I would also expect that this is only one of a number of...

    The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies

    Don't ignore facts. Read 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu. "Spies are the Sovereign's most important expenditure." "Attack where your enemy cannot defend". "The acme of the General's strategy is to defeat your enemy without battle." Do any of his main strategy themes seem plausibly relevant...
