Money is not exhausted by any means. In fact, in the modern world money is created electronically without any cost to the issuing bank. Have you ever realised that if the person you pay money for a burger uses it immdeiately to get a haircut and the hairdresser uses the received money to pay...

They work on a different model than traditional banking. Bankers keep exact record of ownership but keep the transcations as private as possible. Bitcoin keep the ownership secret but every transaction is public by design. The way a stransaction happens is the info about this transation is...

I understand that an additional perk is the account is anonymised frequently. So, if you have 2 transactions separated in time by, say, 2 hours, there is now way to see if they were committed from the same account. In other words, the public identity of an account changes very frequently and...

Like with most clubs it's mostly networking opportunity. You can hook up with like-minded people, exchange ideas, perhaps, make friends. Meeting people who are passionate about the field you have interest in can be highly motivating. If you are interested in co-investing with other people...

I understand your trading systems are in C#. Have you done any performace benchmarks with NeoTicker compared to Delphi or C++? Or is speed of backtest totally immaterial for you? I disagree that NeoTicker order interface "has to be the lowest common denominator of all supported brokers...

I guess despite the name the movie seriously lacks in violence and nudity... nor does it have a "superhero" feel like, say, Rambo does. If it was a hybrid of 9 Songs and Machete with a little bit of Dogma feel, it would have been much more fun.

I gather you don't use any part of NeoTicker order interface and send orders directly to the broker. Do you still run your trading strategies as NeoTicker indicators when traidng live?

The screenshots look just like Matlab.

This is a golden rule. Also E-mail should be preferably done on the "surfing" computer. E-mail messages may contain remote images, Web-links etc. Two things: 1) A better way to back-up is one of the remote backup services. Some even come free with internet security subscription. Free Web-mail...

Only the Swiss banks that have substantial investment banking business in the US. If you want to keep your money safe you shouldn't keep it with any "bank" that is involved with investment banking or trading anyway - Swiss or not Swiss. Regarding UBS, it's not news. The bank agreed to turn...

Given in the first 10 days of last December Paulson's Advantage Plus fund gained 14.3%, 10% loss looks like normal volatility. http://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/2011/01/05/john-paulsons-paulson-co-2010-returns/

Reminds me of when Collective2 had all clients' credit card numbers stolen... Problems do happen :) Regarding eCommerce, the key is the absense of anonymity. If the credit card number thief orders something on the internet, he provide the delivery address. So, you can be caught red-handed. A...

In case no one realises, this is the dream scenario of a technologically-advanced thief. Stealing Bitcoins is as easy as copying a file from a computer. That would be the golden age of spyware.
