    Is becoming a quant a waste of time?

    I have to say that I have never worked for an investment bank, but all of this resembles basically every place where I worked, including what I heard of investment banks. So true fatrat, so true

    FIDEL Dead....

    No news yet. Old Fidel wasn't doing very well, but maybe this time it's just a rumor. I'm curious to see what happens in the next hours

    p/l thread 2007 skeptics and detractors

    and what would that be? Having people saying "oh, this guy is good" in an internet forum? Come on I might understand it if someone doesn't post negative days, but you are in serious need of a good doctor if you post fake numbers. You actually need one already if you just talk about them. That's...

    p/l thread 2007 skeptics and detractors

    I'm not sure about that. With some good Photoshop skills I think you can fairly easily get away. This small example that trader 98 posted is quite interesting: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1566762#post1566762 Besides, who's really checking? I would say that...

    How much time do you spend trading ?

    And how long have you been doing this? Any performance improvement lately? After a while I would expect people to slow down.

    Launched High Frequency Automated Trading Blackbox

    That's believed by many people, yes. I'm not a security expert, but if you use a good antivirus, a good (possibly external) firewall, a few good rules (use your computer with a non administrator account, block as many ports as you can, don't open the attachments, don't install applications you...

    Program trading and waves

    :) you mean that a program would sell/buy big amounts of whatever asset in a short time? Doesn't look very efficient to me. I would expect a program to look at the VWAP. Well, it's an explanation. Thank you

    Question about programming languages

    Launched High Frequency Automated Trading Blackbox

    This is a pretty bold statement. And, 6 years after the introduction of C#, still pretty wrong

    Program trading and waves

    There is something I read on the WSJ I can't quite understand: Shares recovered a bit, but fell again in the afternoon, which Todd Clark, director of trading at Nollenberger Capital Partners, said was probably due to program trading because it seemed to be "coming in waves." What would the...

    How a self made top 5% trader views the world (ME)

    I was very impressed by NyseKiller. He was one of the most amazing traders on ET. The story is, I think, that RM spotted something that showed he was using a buggy version of a program, which allowed him to fake his P/L. After that NyseKiller stopped posting. You probably remember him

    Is Europe taking advantage of the strong Euro?

    I'm not sure if the strong euro is such a big advantage.Competition gets tougher when your currency is high. The French are starting to have so many problems that they suggested to make the central bank less independent. Thankfully Germany is there. God bless them. Besides, I wonder if it's...
