I get it. Sorry. No harm done. I am not sure that I want Genesis to make a super easy api for everyone to use. I want to keep the advantage to myself. :) I think you mentioned that too. Shh. the secret is spreading. All the best. Happy weekend!

Genesis' API was designed originally for true professional trading (I don;t mean prop, i mead pro in the true sense of the word). That's why for the average joe, who doesn't have a team of developers it wasn't easy. But this was before. I've started with their first C++ API. Now, I think...

If you are running a strategy above 80% winning you are not efficient. You should either a) increase size or b) increase some other parameters to get the volume up and percentage down to lower 50s. Efficient Frontier my friend.

Here's an interesting story: I was approached by someone who wanted to run his strategy auto. We've done some tests (forward with tiny test size) and saw an interesting thing: His strategy had a 85% mean average win rate. We got into an argument... He thinks he found the holy grail. I...

If you are using your own money to trade - it is your choice and no one should ever tell you what to do. If you are using firm capital - you better listen. That money they are lending you is not free. If I am at a prop firm that provides leverage - I want their risk control as tight as...

This is a very similar problem I was tackling when I was doing tests. The best estimates I can come up with: if your average volume 100 - 300k for the day the spread may be as high as 3 - 10 cents. for 300 - 1m stocks it may get a bit smaller 3-8 also, more expensive the stock is - the...

Hmm, I rarely like to interfere but I think you got some of the facts a little wrong. They charge 3/3.50 for under 1 m shares a month, not 2. For under two its 50 cents less and on each 1m shares per month 50 cents is 500 bucks! They also provide their own charting - which is very good...

I host my automated system with them and have no complaints (that is an understatement - read my review under broker review page). Serge is a good guy - very helpful and accomodating. The rest of the staff is very good too. I recommend you PM me before I post too much and get blamed for...

I second that. Samuri - are you with Genesis now?

this is similar to the day thing - but : Subject: Its worth a try MAYBE THIS GUY'S GOT SOMETHING. Dear friends & family, I hear we are going to hit close to $3.00 a gallon by the summer. Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united...

I've heard some good things about the Whisper service. Anyone care to share their experience with it? Also, I couldn't find their website or who provides this service? Anyone know how I can get more info from them/ pricing / how to order (I think just a website will suffice). Thank you.

An optimist believes that we live in the best possible of worlds. A pessimist fears that this is true...

I've heard good things about at least one person running it. Seems to be a trustworth person. Just a note.

Now that's not nice. :)

Here is what I know. The firms have divided into two camps. First camp, takes on risk and offers conversions. The other camp, prefers to be safe and not offer. The real problem is the following. Conversions are a perfectly legal and viable options strategy. HOWEVER, if you use it to...

Hey everyone, I am trying to find historical data for the US T-bills. I need the open prices and closing prices, not just the yield. Any ideas?

And what about the spread?

I am glad that Genesis is finally coming out to the market. I know that firm very well and it also receives my 100% endorsement - just as several other gave in other posts. This is what I wanted to bring to your attention. I would NOT be comfortable with a firm that gives large leverage...

Instinet bought Island. INCA + ISLAND = INET nowadays
