A no value add reply lol ? Only ppl who cannot make money are interested in picking all these small mistakes. is that u ?

U know nothing about Hedge Fund, U shld just be a financial advisor. - Do you have at least a small small amount of 10 mil of your own fund ? You said you trade own money, who's here in this forum that doesnt first trade their own money ? - IB has portfolioanalyst, Var and some other very...

Data in Excel real time ? IB TWS API is the answer

Hello. Let's say u start off with 100k. 20% is only a mere 20k. For living ? Come to Singapore. A typical house for the norm is around 1 million, take away currencies difference. That's roughly $2000 a month or 24k a year. 100k ? Living ? Taxes ? Blackswan ?

To simply answer your question, if you use your own money, you are not subjected to alot of regulations since u get whatever with your own money. When its a fund, theres 2 possibilities. Your own money vs Not your own money. If you are serious and good, a properly structured fund means u may...

im from Singapore n my ping to NY is like 300ms. Factoring in news feed and orders speed back n forth, Need a few seconds. But great algo u had and good observation. Thanks yoelbnb for sharing, very insightful.

u wan to learn hw to automate an algo that prints money every 3 hours. So u wait here. I will spoon feed and teach you and everyone else !!! U wait.. wait..

ok great. I shld be encouraging u guys to go ahead and learn. The last thing u shld learn in an algo/automated trading is how to write codes yourself. It just goes to show the world the reason of 95%/5%, the way you prioritize things.

So u wan to spend a few hundred thousands on a system designed to beat the retails, who usually loses 95% of the time ? Go ahead. We, programmers, CPU servers shop, news feeder, Data centre, is ready to earn your money :)

Strangely, the course taught in NUS Singapore, by the book writer Dr Ernest Chan talks more about Maths, strategies, and hypothesis in this Automated Algo course.

u will always be at least 50-100ms slower than the big guys, depending on where u r. In fact they will be selling to u. If u think about being in the "middle" of the 2min "trend", then how much are you risking in this algo ? Few hundred thousand $ or just to buy/sell 100-200 shares ?

Hmm this is interesting. Im already running a fully automated system for IB TWS Excel (search my name for posts) of many strats, yet at times, i do see some of these orders not getting closed problems, though my system had already fired the order. It took me 9 months to build up this...

Maybe another way is to randomize a 1-5 second delayed fill, resulting in a possible change in current b/a spread. At least that is what i see over at my terminals at times.

I simply love the feedback I've gotten, when I try to filter low volume days such as these past weeks. Not much of trades were done and helped me save quite a bit..

if i realize that in a 10 ppl meetup, im the only guy that knows alot and nobody else shares, would I continue going ? $1000 per hour in cash, perhaps.

profit = proft * 0.7 :D How could u ever simulate a slippage when the price and time taken for you to send a signal to the time and price it is traded is unknown ??

Sorry to pour cold water, but those things u've mentioned can be easily done by a non hon computer science degree holder. In fact i could pay a few thousands and get these things done, automated. The reasons u could do it is the same reason why I could outsource someone else to do it. Do u...

in response to the earlier posts... theoretically i shld own 50% of the fund as my own, so much so all decisions made by me is more of a 50/50 llp between me n m investors. But i realize most HF managers startup discussed here do not have that amt, eg. 5m sourcing for another 5m in a 10m fund...

Yes that is why it has to be progressive. Before i touch, have access, or rather, utilise the entire 100% cash, i would hv been already comfortable with say 250k, for a year. Till all 100% or 150% margin is used up. Then i shall look for the next 750k which shld be ready by then. IMO, the...

Well its ok, as long as i dun come here to ask for trading strategies (even if i did so and done it successfully, its also a strategy). I believe its also something new for him, hence we are exploring options. btw he knows my capabilities, what I can and cannot do, and im upfront honest with...
