Not sure who the putz are, but anyone who is using calculations based on tick resolution or bid/ ask allocations can't use it, because, it's simply not accurate.

Why on earth would you rely on IB for accurate data? Get it from a real data provider.

Bitcoin does not require an intrinsic value. End of debate.

Exactly, it's not that 1.85% isn't good enough, it's that the risk he is taking to achieve that 1.85% far exceeds the reward. Even if Bobby had returned 18.85%, you would still see the same comments in this thread. The TT strategy is like a ticking cherry bomb.

No , this is the wrong place. ET sucks for anything useful. Ya, OFA :rolleyes: Someone already ripped OFA for Sierra chart- see this thread- https://www.sierrachart.com/SupportBoard.php?ThreadID=3102 The study provided in the thread will copy OFA's P&R bars almost exactly, and it will cost...

Trend following is already dead. Markets are always different, however, the current market is fundamentally different to what anyone has seen before.

To start with, the judge isn't concerned about the Uber drivers passengers, the judge is concerned about the vulnerable/ inexperienced children who could have been crossing the road when the Uber driver was speeding past their school. Shkreli's investors weren't vulnerable, or inexperienced...

That's not a fair analogy. His investors weren't complete newbies or average Joe's with their "life" savings on the line. They were sophisticated/ high net worth investors, who were familiar with the crazy antics that Shkreli got up to. Anyone who invests in biotech knows the risks involved...

I wasn't trying to mislead here. I was illustrating how he pumps millions into speculative biotech plays, to the extent at which his positions can significantly impact the price. He's a madman, but don't assume he hasn't made money doing this before. Yeah no money left, besides the 5mil...

"Finally, let me add that MSMB (my hedge fund) investors made 3x-5x their investment while I made $31,500 over four years for my excruciating work. I did not lie to investors and followed the rules at all times. There are certainly things I would have done differently but hindsight is difficult...

I'm not sure if you quite realize what Shkreli has been upto in the start up Biotech space. Sure he has blown up funds, with crazy short plays( 80mil short in OREX, ends in a 7mil realized loss) But you have to realize he's like a looter/ price gouger- His position sizing can be so big relative...

"But acting United States Attorney Bridget Rohde, whose office prosecuted Shkreli, said, "We're gratified as we stand here today at the jury's verdict. Justice has been served," said Rohde" Really? So the guy you wasted years and 10's of millions going after could end up with a sentence of 0-6...

I was admittedly wrong here, I was betting on a full acquittal, not a partial. I thought count 7 was what he was likely to be most guilty of, so I was wrong there aswell. -He won't get much time for the 2x securities fraud charges related to his hedge funds, when none of the investors...

The common approach is that the NYSE tick is the total number of stocks in the NYSE whose current price is higher than the previous trade (uptick), minus the number whose current price is lower than he previous trade (downtick). So if your vendors internal calculation is based on a 1 second...

Did you not read anything I said ? They are not going to be the same. You should never expect them to be. Look at IQ feed, TS, or Sierra chart, the result will be different as well. The TICK is a vendor calculated index. Calculations based on a 1s refresh will produce different results to...

Yes sure. But what about Python + Numba, or Python + Cython

Why would you expect it to be the same? For starters the TICK "calculation" will be unique to each data provider/ platform ( It's some what proprietary). *If you want true accuracy then you need to calculate using each and every single tick to capture maximum and minimum extremes at...

"Jury starts tomorrow, I give em about 20 minutes before they free ya boi" -Martin Shkreli, Facebook live stream- 27/07

I have noticed that when ever i'm investigating mathematical techniques( I seem to be dealing with alot of tasks based around skewed distributions, data normalization, hierarchical regressions). All the techniques i'm looking at seem to be most popular within the statistical community, and...
