    Infinium Capital Management thoughts?

    1. It's been a couple years so I'm not sure about hiring practices right now. There were some people there who had no prior experience but I think that experience is definitely preferred. 2. Proprietary software. 3. Was 50%. 4. I didn't. But you had to leave a few thousand as a...

    Trading support/resistance

    if it's a major s/r point and you're taking a position in front of it, get the fuck out in a hurry if and when it breaks

    CA Governor Schwarzenegger Looks to Illegal Drugs for Tax Revenue

    Well, perhaps it should be taxed a little higher to offset the costs to the health care system. Not that those costs are very high. Nor is there a health care system in the States.

    SEC may Reinstate Uptick Rule

    Agreed. Financial news media and politicians are just looking for a bogeyman. This will do nothing to help the markets. This has already been studied extensively. It won't even decrease the velocity of down moves. All it will do is decrease liquidity, which decreases value.

    It seems like every jackass on elitetrader is calling the end of the world

    I just remember that on the exact day of the bottom, Maria Bartiromo did a segment on CNBC about how to make money shorting.

    Here's a simple 'fact' as to why we'll retest and break the recent lows...

    Unless that's a strange complement of some kind (you know, like how at one point "bad" really meant "good"), I would suggest you go put on some David Hasselhoff or Boney M and keep your batshit insane thoughts to yourself before you embarrass yourself further.

    mini Russell on ICE...getting hurt or the same?

    i'd say it's pretty similar to the old one

    Pope criticises pursuit of wealth

    ...they sure don't mind getting those tax breaks either (which is essentially a wealth transfer from non-religious and non-practicing religious people to religious people)

    automation based on figures

    You'll probably never have the edge you desire due to latency issues. But even if you were collocated in the same room as the CME or whatever, you'd still have problems. Most of these economic numbers are released in advance and embargoed until a certain time. Clearly, there are some out...

    Infinium Capital Management thoughts?

    I used to work there as a prop trader. It was pretty good. It's only really for trading stocks though. Most guys there arb NYSE and TSX interlisted stocks.

    Does anyone out there know how the latency on executions with any of these platforms compares to OpenQuant or NinjaTrader?

    TT FIX Adapter vs. XTAPI latency comparison

    Has anyone out there compared the latency on executions between the TT FIX Adapter and XTAPI? I presume FIX is faster, but if so by how much (ballpark)?

    Yet another Peak Oil Article... not very cheery...

    Hopefully it doesn't come to this, but worse case scenario we've still got 200 years of coal left. Needless to say, we've really got to put a lot into R&D for alternative power sources (especially solar) and all oil price subsidies should be abolished. Technological improvements are the only...

    Attention Non-US Residents: Teach Us The Error of Our Ways

    There is a big problem with the $20 and the coins though. Unfortunately, we have put the head of a detestable English hereditary monarchy on our currency. It's pretty embarrassing. If we must have an English chick on our currency I'd be a lot happier if we went with Keeley Hazell or Lucy...

    Zimbabwe went broke seizing land, Venezuela is about to go broke seizing platforms?

    Using that logic i guess the Americas ought to be returned to the natives. Should Manhattan be razed and returned to the Lenape tribe? After all, it's really their land, right?

    US Dollar exchange in Toronto

    The best retail place I've found is a place in Chinatown called Goldium II. It's at 279 Spadina (at Dundas). Usually a 100-150 pip spread on USDCAD above $3000. If you call them up first they'll commit to price for an hour or so. It's not amazing, but the big 5 all give a terrible 350 pip...

    messed up quotes

    Yeah, this is very annoying. The charts are just a mess. I don't suppose there's any way to exclude NMS trades from the charts or time & sales, is there?
