Why? And who, other than IB, uses the JVM?

Anyone know of / used a *good* flash-based trading app?

What?

Thanks for giving your permission. I was worried.

TSGannGalt = win spectre, supporters, and anyone who thinks jim simons trades "technically" = idiots Stealing fish from the owners? Lol. You can't build a business from this? Hmm, David Shaw and Jim Simons might argue with you there. Not to mention Don Wilson, Blair Hull, GETCO, Ken...

Jesus you people are stupid. Please keep trading.

WTF? Sorry you didn't like my post, mods ... for those few who can see this one, I said that Jack's post was incorrect. Well, this board has always kinda sucked ... your loss. Way to drive off a person who actually trades.

Huh? It's not "set" at all. It's a function of the carrying costs of the stocks to the expiration date of the future, which is interest on borrowings to purchase the basket, netted against the dividends you receive. It can definitely change intraday.

Anyone gotten QST to launch? I got it to install, including a dir full of stuff in my home directory, but I can't find an app anywhere to launch. It didn't drop a shortcut on the desktop like I asked.

(or BSD) Anyone got real-time data, charts, order entry, ... from a commercial vendor? How is it?

Update: The product does a lot. Like, a lot more than most. An interesting "work in progress".

That QST thing is pure crack. It's impressively comprehensive ... and really couldn't have been designed any worse. It looks to be a straight feature rip of IB's TWS (which sets the all-time standard for bad design). I can't even figure out if the product still exists or is supported.

I read a news story about once a year, but this one's not free ... can anyone share...

This thread embodies everything that I love about ET. Every once in a while, I like to remind myself who I'm trading with every day. Thanks guys! And, please, don't go changing!

1. There have been many, many studies done on this subject. The correct conclusion is that there is not a systematically exploitable bias to "pin". There are certain sectors of the market where you can trade it, but it tends to be in stocks that are on the illquid side ... so your poker...

qft

BlueStreek = everything you need to know about ET and 'net trading forums. I have to admit to getting something out of it though ... it's nice to be reminded of how seriously, seriously deluded some participants are.

It's not strictly necessary (how could it be?). But the reason so many have done it (including myself) is that most haven't internalized the lessons that real risk can teach you. There is a certain "pit of the stomach" feeling that you can only get by violating prudent risk rules and getting...

I think you should tell everyone where you live. That way people can leave town before you shoot up a MCD or a mall.
