    Modifying Genesis Laser OMS

    Genesis modules are just DLLs with a .mod file extension. Their sample code is written in C/C++ with visual studio. I am an amatuer programming but I'm not too familiar with hooking and compiling DLLs. If we get a few programmers that run laser, we could start a source-forge project for free...

    I have a low gpa, can I find a prop trading job?

    I'm still in college but, can you go back into school and get a second degree in computer programming or something? Raise your GPA, plus I would imagine programming is a decent plus to that field.

    TV Show: Million Dollar Traders

    Emile sounds like you had quite the experience. It's awesome to hear that you guys (or atleast some of you) actually used your heads. I thought it was weird that they would go through the process of selecting bright people then not even show their thought process of selecting trades. I really...

    Stop orders in Excel (Genesis Laser)

    I don't think they would give you the source to the OMS, but they have a little bit of documentation on modules if you ask. Their sample projects are written in C++ with visual studio.

    Stop orders in Excel (Genesis Laser)

    OMS is better than the AUTO stop method. AUTO stop gives me huge slippage, and I only trade 100-300 shares. OMS is a little better, one thing I hate about it is that it can only be set to trigger on the last print, not the bid/ask. So by the time the print goes off that would stop you out...

    Taking Profits

    There is a fine line between being greedy and "letting winners run." Lots of contridicting advice (not from you, but in general) regarding those 2 things.

    A question about the RealTick platform

    VM fusion doesn't have a evaulation trial period or something? Download an ISO of Windows and evaluate both of them at the same time. If they work, then look into purchasing the software.

    If you are using Linux/Unix, who is your stock data vendor?

    Why are you set on switching to Linux if your software doesn't work on it? Try to find a broker/dataprovider with a FIX connection and just code up what you need on linux

    I think someone said this earlier, but I think they use the phones so the viewers can understand what's going on, and to bring drama.

    Hardware Help/Education (power supply, RAID1)

    Most powersupplies are all the same size and screw positions. You really should be fine with 750watts. I'm only using 380watt, have 2 harddrives, dual core AMD, 3gig of RAM and a pretty decent graphics card.

    Hardware Help/Education (power supply, RAID1)

    Just get higher wattage on your power supply. You don't need to match them. You can get overkill if you can afford it. Usually don't have to replace power supplies very often. I haven't replaced mine in 4 years. Mine is an Antec, they are supposedly pretty decent quality for the price. Try...

    Firefox elitetrader font weirdness

    Every once in a while the bullets used on Elitetrader go out of whack and turn into weird triangles with question marks. Sometimes people's posts will also have them in place of quotation marks. What's causing this and/or how can I fix it?
