I automate mine. Wake up at 9:25, press the start button and usually out of positions within a couple to a few minutes (if I get filled at all) unless the trades look like they'll continue to go my way for a while. And there are plenty of shares to go around. But I try to get fills with a lot of...

Yes, I'd agree that's not enough. What is the hold time period? What is that 11 cents in terms of percentage? 11 cents on a 100 dollar stock is a lot different than 11 on a 8 dollar stock. Are these the results on optimized data or out of sample data? For things I may hold all day, 30 cents...

How many trades per month? Profit factor?

If you run an OS from a portable USB HD (not a flashdrive), will it run slower than if connected through IDE?

At first I wasn't sure if it was even necessary to go to C++. I've read that with computers and Windows these days VB won't be slower than C++ in contrast to the past. I rewrote my historical backtester in BCB and didn't find much of a difference at all (though that is probably my inability to...

Thanks, I'll look for that on Monday. Anyways, I'm going to do a lot of studying. I know my current programming knowledge is going to hold me back in the future. Better to learn now than later. Things were much simpler in the days of QBASIC :D

Yes, 1000+ executions per day doesn't require C. I should have been more clear. I monitor every tick, every quote change, etc and keep a log of it all for analysis for a couple hundred symbols and I'd like to increase that number if my program permits it. During high volume times, it is probably...

Thanks for the information. Looks like I'll continue using BCB for the time being. I want the transistion over to be as quick and easy as possible. My programs do require a lot of input/display especially when things are in the testing/tweaking phase. So it seems like BCB may be the right choice.

I hope this isn't too dumb a question. Does the type of compiler you use affect the umm.. end product? Such a speed and the like. When I learned C/C++ we were using TurboC in DOS. I'm just now returning to C++ and I find VC difficult to use, but BCB much easier for designing in Windows. Will...

I'll save you the time: don't bother. Anyways, it's very simple to program.

I just signed up for www.newsstrike.com. I haven't listened to it yet but it's free. It's only news so you can use it alongside squawk.

My wisdom... in college, sleeping with five 2s is better than one 10. 5x2 > 10 Bet they didn't teach you that in algebra.

explosive diarrhea always comes at the worst times :( jk

I'm trading equities. My stock was moving at .01 per minute, but at 12 it shot up .50 within a minute. I got out during the mini retrace afterwards, but now it's below my entry again.... I only get the BBO of the ES.

*sigh* it's because they knew I went short at 11:59 and had gone to take a bathroom break

Do you have any experience trading these NN models in real time for real money?

^ That's basically how I do it. My string is very similar to that. I write a client program that they run which auto-executes the orders on their end for whatever platform. That way, they'll never have access to my code.

Oh damn. Last time I remember this happening was in 1946 <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Er69b4HMl8&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Er69b4HMl8&rel=1"...

Back in the day, I worked as a bottom of the barrel movie extra. I was in two of her movies. She looks like ass up close. Freckles everywhere... everywhere. Plus shes a total bitch. But I too have low standards so I'd hit it too.
