This is a link to an excerpt from the article: http://www.traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/Archive/092003/Abstracts_new/Steele/steele.html

I think I read the article (seems like it was before Sept though) - it didn't really explain what the method was, other than P&F. The trades didn't take into account bid/ask spread and also didn't take into account realistic fills based on trading without hindsight because of the built-in delay...

I'm not sure what the umps were thinking. If it were anyone other than Pedro, he would have been instantly ejected. Zim too should have been ejected, as should have Ramirez for walking to the mound with a bat in his hand later in the game. But the umps didn't want to get torn apart by the home...

Soapbox time: Whenever I hear "beat the market" I cringe. It's a faulty paradigm. The market isn't an opponent that wins or loses. The market can't lose. You can lose if you fight the market. You can win if you go with the market. Just because you win doesn't mean the market loses, or because...

Not sure about a book, but take a look at: http://www.vbip.com/winsock-api/csocket-class/csocket-class-01.asp A free fully functional VB sockets class. Bottom line: you may not need to learn how to program sockets if you use the right tool. If your intent behind learning sockets is to...

Exactly, if you're that paranoid just make it impossible for someone to get at your work by not making your work available. You could have a computer connected to the internet that transmits your orders, but that computer doesn't house the trade logic - only the order entry program that relays...

I thought pipes worked across a network? I haven't looked at the docs for a while so maybe I'm off?

Wow, I never knew Greenspan had the media in his icy grip. It must be his mind-numbing Greenspeak that lulls the media into obedient servitude to do his evil bidding. LOL :D

see my signature for some methods threads.

Exactly.

I just saw another thread that might lead you down the right C# path... http://www.interactivebrokers.com/discus/messages/9565/846.html

Nitro, Have you checked out this example in VB.NET? I know it's not C#, but at least it is an example in the .NET framework, so maybe it will give you an idea of how to get the Ax control working. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TWSAPI/files/VB%20.Net%20Code/ Also, if sockets is your...

rognvald, There are too many spammers on yahoo groups these days, and since posting is unmoderated, the list owner went to an approval membership to cut down on the spam. Too many spammers start a new yahoo or hotmail email address one day then attempt to join and spam the TWSAPI group. By...

The movie wasn't bad, in the sense of how a bad movie is bad. But I didn't appreciate all the phony Hollywood moralizing that was also thrown in. It left a bad taste in my mouth. As such, I wouldn't want to see it again. But I could say the same about most of the movies out these days.

Yes, that's my thought as well. If the system isn't based on typical timeframes or typical technical methods then the likelihood of reverse engineering goes way down. And to me the biggest danger is in being front run, rather than reverse engineered. Monroe Trout said he used multiple accouts...

What methods have you guys used to successfully minimize the number of whipsaws your systems give? By whipsaws I'm referring to the state where a system gets in just as the market reverses (worst possible entry), and the system then gets out with a loss (and might even reverse at this point)...

As it turns out I hooked up my sister's computer to the network within the last week. Her computer must have already had the worm and then infected the other machine. The network is behind a router which should effectively block this from coming in from the outside. I guess that's why they call...

That was it. I hadn't even signed on the internet with this machine yet. I ran the patch on my whole network the week before, but neglected this one machine. I'm rescanning every computer for traces of the worm now. So far only the new install seems to be infected... Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the replies. Neither ctrl-v nor drag drop work. For drag-drop, when I click on the file Win Explorer doesn't even make an attempt to move it - as if it doesn't even support this type of thing at all as on the other computers. Thanks for the newsgroup, I'll check it out. FWIW, I...

I just installed Win2K on a new harddrive on a computer that had a hard drive failure. I can connect on my LAN to copy files, but when I try to paste them within Windows Explorer, paste is always blanked out. I can't figure out what's going on. I rebooted one time and I was able to copy files...
