LOL, I was waiting for this message. It actually is pretty unusual that you could hook some random guy up with a firm trading options. I interviewed with Group1 when I was done school and the position was extremely competitive so I just dont get your offer, not that I dont believe your sincerity...

Wow, EchoP and lescor post and this thread comes back to life all of a sudden..nice. Keep it up.

Hasn't this been done already? Back in college we had some macs that also ran Win95. You just hit ALT something and it would switch to windows. :confused:

Whats with all the hostility about trading with a shop that gives you leverage and decent rates? Call it what you want, a job, a business whatever...who cares. It is what it is, you get the tools you need to trade and if you can make money great if not move on. The brights, echo's assents..etc...

Engineering background is good, do you have exceptional math skills? Why dont you send a resume to SIG, its worth a shot. Highlight your math, decision making, and problem solving skills.

Wont all these algo bots just cannibalize eachother? I dont know, my simple mind thinks the cost associated with building and maintaining these algo's will have ever increasing diminishing returns as they take up most of the volume. You'll then have teams that try to reverse engineer the...

Does anybody else here think if Gradient disclosed that the research was paid for by SAC, the stock would have fell harder and faster than it did being that SAC has a lot of clout on the street and what not...everybody would want to be on the same side as SAC.

Goldman traders..thats funny. Unlimited access to info and capital probably gives a bit of an advantage.

I'm backtesting a variety of large cap stocks. I started learning TS's EL and am starting to get the hang of it. I coded a few ideas/strategies and am realizing that the market is super efficient. It seams next to impossible to find something that is high enough frequency and has a decent enough...

Cant seem to get past 1.2 ish when backtesting intra-day strategies.. What PF is even worth trading?

He's been selling since day 1. At least a couple billion, so nothing unusual here.

I found a pdf 360 page reference manual.....I'll talke a look at it. Hopefully, I can begin testing some simple stuff fairly quickly. Esignals language has proven to be very difficult, hopefully TS is a lot easier.

How long would it take for me to learn how to back test strategies using tradestation? I have 0 programming experience but am not a complete idiot, can understand logic, went to college, etc.... For example.. What if I wanted to do something generic, like buy .10 below pivot, stop loss if...

LOL, man I wish I had money to burn on crappy trinkets that end up in some junk drawer. Unbelievable. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&fkr=1&from=R8&satitle=nyse+bell&category0=

Exactly, if XOM is a ponzi scheme I'll take all the shares when they go to 0, thanks. I could use the 30 billion a year in profits. BTW, remember Cubans attempt at competing with Trumps apprentice...what a disaster. :p
