I agree with this without a problem. If you know you are going to be bound by speed use C++. Otherwise, give yourself a break and go java. In the past I did a lot of number crunching and needed C++. Today, I am more interested in information display and price action. Java is fine for...

I have several years of experience in MFC and C++. I have also done some internet development in Java, very little GUI but a lot of sevlet and database stuff. In the past year Java 1.6 has received a lot of good press on how performance was improved. I installed Java 1.6 and did notice an...

Great thread!!! My observations and objections to SCT would be: 1. Always in the market - reverse instead of exit. With round trip commissions less than 1 tick why stay in the market? If you are always in the market you are playing slots at the casino; if you wait for the best possible...

Looks more like 2 hours and a half, not a whole day. With a single contract and little risk.

Austin, why not lecture Hershey? In a Spyder post last year, Spyder suggested Hershey tries to provoke discussion with his combative style. T28 and others are just trying to cooperate with Hershey's church membership drive! Yeah right. Why not lecture Hershey? Without T28 and a few others...

I have linksys kvm but now using synergy and like it a lot. With the kvm you have to hit a key to switch, with synergy you only have to move the mouse to the screen to switch control. Also, the kvm did not pass thru the scroll wheel on the mouse I was using. I have had no compatibility...

I thought Harold Balls was Jack Hershey?!?!?!? :(

Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself! :) :(

From a simple newbe question on 2/16 to trading 20 contracts just a few weeks later. But an advanced trader nevertheless! :D

Imagine 50 ET traders calling you after last week's sell off complaining about how a bug in your program caused them to lose their life's savings. Very bad. If you don't have enough money to trade, you clearly do not have enough marketing money to drive people to your site... However...

Looks great. Is that the equities system or ES trading? Thank you,

I am referring to the Futures thread. How many ES FTT trades do you actually trade each day? If the technique is such an edge, why not trade each and every one?

What you do is draw lines on a chart, true that hasn't changed in years. On an average day you describe 6 or 7 channel traverses. How many of those do you actually trade? DO you actually trade each of those FFT trades you draw on your chart with such precision every day? Good trading.

Yes, but as the strategy becomes mainstream the edge becomes less and less profitable. Turtles and Trend following, LTCM's approach to hedging, Marty Schwartz talks about a bond/S&P approach that worked until it was copied by others. Markets become more efficient through the publication of...

If you add 3 sine waves of different frequencies you will see an output that looks very much like a price time series. Elliot Waves describe price action across one cycle of the longest frequency. Michael Gur in "The Symmetry Wave Trading Method" went a long way to show the weakness of...

Some time ago I spent 'a lot' of time looking at digital signal processing and time series data. There is a good discussion on Tradestation forum the subject is there is anything in phase, amp, or frequency that can be used to trade. The consensus was no. Previous phase, amp, or freq has...

Once you share a new trading idea it takes about 3 years for it to find its way into the main stream. The market becomes more efficient and the edge disappears. The ratio between winners and losers remains constant but the barriers to entry and the 'quality needed in the next edge' increases...
