There are a bunch of multi-variable techniques .... conjugate gradient (often my favorite if applicable), variable metric (newton, quasi newton), simulated annealing methods etc . There are others - and several that are much better in general circumstances) but most of the time you construct...

I really like this post ..... My advice is to wait until the last 90 minutes of the day and re-sample. I basically watch for signals in my list during the intraday hours between the first 90 minutes and the last 90 minutes - sometimes things happen that yield useful information upon which I...

I've rarely cared about a persons GPA - that is usually a filter to cull out thousands of resumes for highly in demand jobs at large firms. I've always been more interested in what people did after earning their degree, and their reasons for pursuing a degree in the first place. After...

Yes. Everyone is jumping on the presumed low cost bandwagon .... however they tend to be unaware of the real costs of running and integrating projects with foreign based companies. That said, the costs in most cases are so low that many businesses - including government agencies via consulting...

... with much less less than 1M in my trading account it is still possible to do OK ..... Most of the people that I know that are in trading are making more than 50K a year by the way - or they would be doing something else.....

Are they really going to react to his "speech" or are they going to watch to see what actually happens ? .... His statements are just so much marketing noise .....

Who really cares what Bill Gross has to say ? ... unless you trade the interest rate complex and even then, there is not a lot you can do about PIMCO influencing particular markets ... when the beach moves you just jump on board or get out of the way ....

Consulting is a great gig if you are single and dont mind being constantly on the road. However the profession is not really acceptable for most people with a family. Engineering and software design jobs will simply go where the largest number of productive hours can be had for the least...

... With such a large number of new real estate related/focused business starts in the US - and in fact worldwide - the business case for all of this churning begins to look pretty weak. Now perhaps all of the profits will be put into product development or community improvement ... but based...

You can investigate anyone for anything, with or without their permission. As long as you have a valid business reason you can pull credit reports - public records and other types of information can all be obtained. The bottom line is nobody can really hide details of their financial dealings or...

Engineering these days is an "up or out" type of profession - with the possible exception of national defense as stated earlier. That is, you basically get 3- 5 years to move into management, or stay on the retraining treadmill. Most engineering projects run about 12- 14 months, and at the...

Engineering can be a quite interesting profession. Of course, it can also be a very risky profession on which to bet your welfare or the welfare of your family. There are some areas - like national defense - where you might actually get to retire as an engineer. However in most industrys you...

The answer you provided is correct. Independent traders are essentially looked upon as business owners. Recruiters for corporate jobs view such a background as not commensurate with nearly all corporate environments. Without direct, focused, and extensive matching experience to a particular...

..well .. not too many day jobs pay 300K a year ... ... and those that do may be more interesting than trading ......

Well .. it just isn't so ... especially if you work around the exchanges ... there are many very able accounting firms - including the majors - that know all of the applicable regulations for all types of markets and trading instruments ..... and they dont disclose anything regarding their...

Based upon the first message in this thread I would have to ask .... did they sign a non-disclosure clause ? Clearly they are disclosing - according to the thread - confidential statistics. Accounting firms just dont do this ..... Regadless of whether they agree to no do it in an NDA .....

Yipes !! First of all, if this is true, I see a huge problem. That is an accounting firm sharing publically statistics involving its clients profit and loss statements. Setting aside for a minute the validity of the statments and the quality of the client portfolio of this firm, we have the...

People who live in So. Ca. are in the same situation that people were / are in in the bay area. Namely, they are priced out of the market and will take a hit unless they keep churning their investment gains in housing. Folks in these areas that make less than about 300K per year really cant...

I really dont htink that you need to do too much analysis beyond overlaying housing price and interest rate charts. Add the additional parameter of speculative money flow into the market and its pretty easy to explain where things are today and where things will be tomorrow if interest rates...

Or you could use linux ... if your trading platform allows .... no blue screens, no anti-virus issues, no forced updates/upgrades or ridiculous and onerous license requirements .... Just stable, easy to maintain and free. I wish we had dumped $soft years ago .....
