    Any good books on business cycles?

    Hi. I have decided to educate myself so I am looking for good books on business cycles. Preferably something that covers a broad set of theories: Kontradiev cycles, austrian economics-style credit cycles, empirical studies, sunspots etc. Any suggestions?

    Summary of a small disaster

    Wrt. overleverage and money management. travis - I was serious in my response. Look up "the kelly ratio" - the key lesson is that you have to underbet. Especially if you are doing automated trading since you will have a tendency to overestimate your edge because of datasnooping et al...

    JOpenATS Java Open source Multi times frames ATS for IB account.

    I looked thru it - it is not bad code. But it could do with just a half page of what this is and what it does. JOpenATS-0.0.6 - I actually couldn't figure out what it does - other than it download historical data. It doesn't seem to place an order - which makes it sort of a passive ATS.

    10 months fulltime and still no edge

    I am still just starting out but I have been running production for some months now. I don't what kind of background you have; but I got a lot out of the book "Volatility Trading" by Euan Sinclair eventhough I don't do volatility trading at all. It has got some condensed and very clear...

    10 months fulltime and still no edge

    We are in the Bermuda triangle of finance right now with all instruments spinning around. So it is not easy now - it probably never was. But: Look at time frames that are longer than 5 seconds to 5 minutes. Days and weeks. If trade management / trade sizing is a problem then...
