    New System Build Questions.

    The VisionTek item is actually a network card (designed for gaming) that I thought would be usefull to offload network processing. Not the fan I selected. It costs 29.99 and comes with a Low Noise Adapter which will limit it's noise output to less than 14DBA. You would have it mounted on...

    New System Build Questions.

    I am in the process of selecting components for my new system. My current system is almost 6 years old and I can no longer use it to trade. The new system must be: 1) Silent (or as quiet as possible) 2) Very fast and as much future proof as possible, I like to get at least 5 years out of it...

    Odds Czar: Simple Biases in the Futures Markets: 2010

    Very interesting setup for the Either Or Biases. What about the Infrequent Bias and the Calendar Bias - what are the components that make up these biases?

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    "Haha Grandpa wants to be a prop trader but condemns the pursuit of money, and is afraid to be fingerprinted." I never condemned the pursuit of money, what I said was that your relentless pursuit of money does not allow you any time to verify the information you come in contact with. Thus you...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    Your fear of life and lack of control has ensured the polarization of information you filter. I do not fear life - I enjoy it. And unlike you I'm fully in control at all times. I do not filter any information. I do verify once I receive it though. This is an extremely time consuming process...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    Yeah - about 45 million people are. Including anyone listening to gcnlive.com or visiting any of these sites: rense.com worldnetdaily.com infowars.com I don't think any of them are afraid though. Why are you afraid to be on their radar? Are you controlled by fear or deception or...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    You are an ignoramus and a fool on top of that. You think the prop firm that I am with didn't run a background check on me prior to me joining them. Now according to your twisted logic anyone who refuses to get a driver license but wants to drive must fit one of your three criteria...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    I've been in this business longer than you, but that's not the point. As I stated earlier two different compliance people agreed that as an unlicensed trader you qualify for the exemption. The way they put it was : As a trader of the firm you are not technically engaged in the sale of...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    Your ignorance precedes you. Read rule 17f-2 (I posted a link in my original post) I have now spoken with one other compliance person from another prop firm and he too agreed that all unlicensed traders do not need to be fingerprinted. Are there any prop firms out there that do things...

    In trying to ascertain whether this is happening to me I made a recording of me buying DIS and selling it a couple of times. I am still not sure though. Would you be able to view the AVI file I made (its only 5 min long) and see if you can tell. It also includes the Orders and Positions tab...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    "The way it reads, and was explained to me is simply if you are a licensed trader who enters orders, the fingerprints are part of the deal. " If you read my previous post - i specifically state that I was talking about unlicensed traders. Most traders at prop firms and llc's are unlicensed...

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    My post specifically states that most traders are exempt. Not ALL traders. You may be correct that any licensed and/or floor traders may need to be fingerprinted. However anyone that is not licenced as most prop firm (or sub llc's) traders are - DO NOT NEED TO BE FINGERPRINTED. And...

    How Much Are Your Costs Per Share

    I pay .004 per share with free platform and 100% payout. ECN's are pass through. I average about 350K shares a month. My leverage is almost 80 : 1 Am I overpaying? Where can I get a cheaper rate? Thanks

    Fingerprints not necessary for most traders.

    I am hearing that most prop firms and their llc's are now requiring their traders to register with an exchange. As part of the registration they also require their traders to take fingerprints. However as per the SEC rule 17f-2 Fingerprinting of Securities Industry Personnel...

    Front Running

    if a stock is trading at 50.75 by 50.77 and you enter a bid at 50.75 there will naturally be many bids ahead of you or am I missing something? I am more of a longer term trader (rarely scalp) so I may not be aware of what you are saying. But I would definitely like to learn more. As...

    How to Link NinjaTrader with a Broker of your Choice.

    I have a strategy that I developed using NinjaTrader. I would like to link it with BlackwoodPro (pacmid.com) It is not one of their supported brokers. But there has to be a way to create an interface (api). I know some people who use TradeStation as their platform but have their trades...

    Can NinjaTrader be linked to Blackwood.

    That is what I wrote in my posting. What I want to know is if it is possible to program something... an api call maybe or anything else to establish this connection. Or maybe even create an interface between NT and Blackwood. I spent about two weeks experimenting with NinjaTrader and...
