Ok so look at it this way. you had idea1, idea2, idea3, etc. Each idea had technique1, technique2, technique3 etc in it. All of those techinques and approaches were glued together in method1, method2, method3. Now. Make the computer jumble up methods, techniques and ideas, and make strategies...

would kick his a$$.

Yeah it's a bubble but not so much because of the "virtual" aspect but more because of the attrition. More people are getting bored with it than there are new subscribers and this is slowly increasing. It will be a strong sell about a year from now, or less.

He figured out his excuse in the second email was more damaging than helping him, so he wanted to deny it. Anyhow, it can be easily checked which mail server and IP the email was sent from, as well as if he was using tor at the time. ISPs have this info. The authorities won't have to second...

Err... Do you read the forums at all? It already has it's own thread right here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=232268

The way I see it is that the biggest risk for rehypothecation is a liquidity crunch caused by longer term traders pulling their stocks and equity. Since we all know IB boasts about it's high number of trades per customer, and this makes sense since they are low cost and good for daytrading, they...

Even if you change brokers you'll probably be in the same boat as with IB. Just because IB got mentioned in that article doesn't mean all others aren't in the same or worse condition. They would probably be if they were investigated in the same manner as IB, and I'm guessing their numbers would...

yeah, like i said in my post above, i feel that for you to know that your system is working you have to trade it live and trade it through all sorts of market conditions. for that to happen you might need a whole year to have any kind of statistical significance for it going forward. that's just...

ok well you do it your way. discretionary guys introduce the randomness that my algos need and thrive on. i can't be bothered looking up that article where barclays gave statistics on how it's discretionary trading division performed compared to their algo division. it was something like a total...

Profitable discretionary traders don't trade on discretion. They trade on strict rules that do not change. They do this because they don't know how to automate. Discretion in any form is gambling. The evolutionary path is as follows: gambler > discretionary trader with discretion >...

What do you mean? I was born knowing a lot! Like most people on ET... :D

One backtest, one forward test. For me usually about 250 milliseconds.

If his password didn't change on ET, the fact he just emailed someone saying "I was hacked" is even more incriminating so he probably just dug his own hole. Not to mention the facebook activity in the meantime. Sometimes it's good to let the stupid people try to make up excuses, they just...

Serious traders code their own platforms around a data feed anyway. It looks very pretty though.

Haha seriously what a dumbass. He's toasted. Hey Eric! If you're reading this, I hope you're mentally prepared for the fact there are no little girls where you're going. Just some big dudes ready to pound your ass. Once they figure out what you're in for, they're gonna have you for dinner...

Right, but still it would be good circumstantial evidence. The mods and authorities surely have enough of a case already, but you always hope that this evidence will be backed up by a cause/motivation. It would suck to accuse the wrong person. Highly unlikely at this point, but it wouldn't be nice.

So you're saying his motivation for posting porn is to divert attention from himself. Are you saying it's actually "cold" all along? Otherwise, I don't get what you're saying, because the best way to divert attention from himself is to simply have not done anything at all. We're running in...

Yes but what would be his motive for the diversion? What would be his motive for doing anything bad to the ET community - regardless of his stated motives (diversionary or not).

Congrats to Baron. It sounds like a very solid case. He won't stand a chance. That is very good news. Hopefully the state he is in has some good judges for cybercrime. I have no idea why he targeted whom he did but I only had one post in the same thread as him, and no arguments. It was...

Why do you think they're researching nuclear fusion? Of course that would fix the economy. It would fix the world. It's just way off far into the future at this moment.
