    It's not fair. Why must I be wide awake with my mind racing when the world sleeps?

    Actually Badger, you are very lucky to have this predicament as everyone I know who is afflicted by it is wildly successful. They key is learning how to manage it and then benefit from it. The "problem" is that your physical body cannot keep up with the mental aspects thus a conventional...

    Does Muddy Waters take positions before its calls ?

    Ha you're all fools. I know who muddy waters is.... he was a few years behind me in high school. His old man was a stock manipulator and had some questionable business dealings. Rather than play the pump and dump game which draws the ire of the SEC, much better to play muckraker and short...

    Best Backtesting software?

    Well then my opinion would be that RTS may be better. I've never used it but when I went to their site couldn't find any mention of a back testing engine or anything related to testing. Deltix is a CEP program and you can use either c# or c++ and their code generator writes in c#. Back...

    Best Backtesting software?

    Was your friend doing backtesting with RTS? Or just trading through? With Deltix there are many "canned" optimizations that are available and analytics and the speed is ridiculously fast to run various permutations. Data mining as well. Again for testing (forward and back) I haven't seen...

    Best Backtesting software?

    Well the question was about backtesting and so far I have not been disappointed with deltix. The ability to store and capture tick data, call from it, test existing strats and write new ones (their code generator is pretty good for non-programmers) and then deploy to market with hosted solution...

    Best Backtesting software?

    Deltix, hands down, is the best I've ever used. Outside of some custom development I've seen at a few hedge funds, it is the best commercially available on the market today. Just started using it recently and man is it powerful. but comes at a price. not for pikers or basement dwellers.

    Deltix???

    i just started using deltix. awesome, awesome software. As was mentioned above, you need a good c# programmer, but if you have existing programs its pretty plug and play. one stop shopping for dev, back-testing, deployment and also hosting at ny4. working on a bunch of programs that were...

    True Legendary Trading Stories

    No sense guessing we do have google after all. Looks like he was a college student who also worked at a news wire service. http://news.cnet.com/23-year-old-arrested-in-Emulex-hoax/2100-1033_3-245192.html

    True Legendary Trading Stories

    Was just combing over this thread from back in the day and came across this post. I believe this story chad, because I was also in this trade. I forget what year it was (2000 maybe)but I had a client who used to day trade this ticker, but he was a buy the dips guy. He calls the desk in...

    College professors complain their jobs are being taken by online education.

    Here's a newsflash: one doesn't go to college to learn, one goes to meet people. Bang broads, make friends. Figure out who you want to be, not what. Learn behavior that otherwise was unknown to you. Develop preferences, learn to be funny. Anything outside of a top 40 school is a waste of...

    Krugman: Bring back 91% tax rate

    I was walking my 9 month old in Riverside Park this past weekend and I saw this dis sheveled, almost homeless looking old geezer walking toward us. As I made the obligatory wide circle to avoid this miscreant, I realized it was none other than Krugman himself! I was about to circle back and...

    ObamaCare policies will cost more

    The problem is that all of the countries that "have it figured out" are homogeneous societies where the majority come from similar backgrounds, customs habits etc. Which bring us to the good old US. The grand experiment. A country which can take the dregs of every other third rate country...

    A Fund vs. Your Own Money

    Short answer, yes. There are many shops that operate in a myriad of ways. I've seen some decent ideas here in the last few pages, but I will share how the concern I am affiliated with operates. The reason I'm sharing, is because I am actually thinking of stepping out and trying to run...
