It's exactly the same answer as below, become entrepreneurial, start at the absolute bottom, or have more or better experience than everyone else. The first there's too much bureaucracy so very few can navigate through it, the second means you are a coffee fetcher until you fight your way out...

Welcome to the 21st century, everything is obscured behind a wall of bureaucracy under the guise of free and fair markets with open opportunities, but it's for your benefit. How, you're expected to start in the mailroom and fight your way up, it whittles out the men from the boys. But I...

It's too much to resist "feedback != stupidity" - 1,000 posts advising people in financial markets and can't even work out probability, sometimes, as wrbtrader pointed out, going direct to source is smarter.

With 1,000 posts one would have thought you would just send a message to the mods to help, but that's sciolism for you.

CSIMarkets is someone technical who is trying to build a fundamental analysis platform, there will be holes in it and often you won't notice on the surface leading to decisions based on misleading, but not necessarily inaccurate, information. Yahoo or Bloomberg are fundamental businesses so they...

You need to understand it all depends on timeframe, if you have low timeframe trades based on seconds or minutes you can compound much faster but the risk is higher, on higher timeframes the risk should be lower. So with 240m I can put 20% or even 40% of capital to work on a trade because as I...

Be aware people are either fundamental or technical (the majority), very few understand both and then you have to take in to account whether they are looking at income generation (short term) or capital accumulation (long term). It materially skews the answer. So, a simple whois on your site...

That's what people who want to succeed do, compounding, if it breaks you start again from the beginning. Now some people would ask why you're using CL instead of QM which is what any sane person would do until they have proven consistent profits through various market conditions. Then it...

What don't you understand, you're going to have to learn to explore if you want specific answers, and that starts by asking specific questions. An open ended question gets an open ended answer, it's very simple. An analyst is only as good as the framework you give them to work in. For that type...

You mean exploratory analysis like this. ABBV AbbVie BA Boeing BBY Best Buy CAT Caterpillar COH Coach CSCO Cisco http://i.imgur.com/CCP8hDa.png CTL CenturyLink http://i.imgur.com/eJB6u0f.png CVX Chevron http://i.imgur.com/pUf2GVd.png D Dominion http://i.imgur.com/cT30nrF.png DOW Dow...

It's highly efficient in high risk cycles and treads water in low risk cycles, as we're moving from low risk to high risk it has value. Taleb has been through more extreme sigma events than most people in life, so he understands when they occur they are highly rewarding with limited downside...

It's very simple, the world is now full of caretakers which is about perfecting daily life. What they don't take in to account are 4/5/6sigma events which requires explorers to neutralize them. So the vix is showing the perfection of caretaking, because no one is smart enough nor experienced...

As day trading is to place short term traders to increase compounding and longer term trades use capital to generate wealth and/or income, what most people do is learn using mid to long term timeframes (hourly/daily) and then when successful move to shorter timeframes. Here's the fundamental...

That depends on your strategy whether the slippage is material, however let's take it as it is as obviously more details would be needed otherwise. Limit orders have an inherent problem, you're telling the broker more information that you probably want them to have. As you're trading 1mn all...

Interesting however from a business perspective, why. Retail traders want it for free, brokers mostly license in tech, institutions roll their own with teams, which leaves open source and personal. Using scicharts is going to have open source problems unless you already have an agreement with...

Are there no retail solutions that facilitate the routing from algo/charting to broker, we have our own trade management system that processes trades from/to most platforms and brokers, so surprised you have to used a closed system or roll you own.

Paper trading is beyond useless unless you are backtesting a known strategy, different broker processes and completely different psychology on live trades. If futures are too much capital risk you can look at forex micro lots on high timeframes, which is a smarter option until you know what you...

No quality control unless you get people who are of the same level, people will get fed up with others taking their knowledge and/or the less experienced will just become annoying due to lack of understanding wanting to be trained. The theory is nice, and for a time it can work, but unless you...

You mean how come you have over 10,000 posts and no idea what you're talking about type of offensive. Poor snowflake, some people don't need an essay to point out Taleb's analysis based on experience and past historic events holds water compared to the majority who write what everyone wants to...

Until you have 34" widescreens wrapping around, then they're fantastic and watch in amazement while everyone still trades in the dark ages.
