It is a function of my average holding time. There is no significant price movement at 5 second time frame relative to my holding duration, but there was at 10 second time frame, so 10 wasn't granular enough. Anything less than 5 seconds and I'm wasting resources trying to store the data and...

Software is all custom made in Java. Hardware is a VMWare virtual server rented from a high availability data center. It is damn fast hardware and internet connection.

I trade 5 second time frame, automated with Interactive Brokers. The biggest difference between 5 second and 1 second time frame in my experience is the effectiveness of market orders vs limit orders and the difficulty of simulating what happens at 1 second intervals due to latency and...

I appreciate the analogy to trading but I don't appreciate the spite you're implying. I've never paid for a boot camp in trading or video games. You don't even have to take my word for it, you can use your brain. None of us had the money for something like that back in college. Do you think...

I agree with the OP. In my late teens and early 20's I decided I wanted to be a world class Quake 3 player. After a year or two I had several opportunities to boot-camp with the top player in the world and grand champion of the game. I learned a lot about what it takes to be the undisputed...

A good read. Thanks for the link.

My favorite is Thomas Stanley's audio book "Networking With Millionaires".

Try to get your hands on historical data from a different source and tell us what you find.

I had to read half this thread to figure out you guys are a bunch of racist scum. Less threads like this plz

Be really careful if you do see a doctor because a mis-diagnosis and drug prescription can take you down a rabbit hole you can't come back from. The symptoms you described do sound like panic-attack symptoms. You can probably beat it by drinking V8 juice (or fresh veggies) instead of coffee...

This idea reminds me of the computer models that mortgage underwriters had where lower housing prices did not compute. Some people on here might tell you that treasuries are the biggest bubble in sight. Your post implies that you think the US government can both borrow and mishandle their...

LOL you write awesome =)

Shame on the few people poopoo'ing everybody who reads books. There's some truly great material out there, and NOBODY is smart enough to come up with all the good ideas in all the literature ever written. Turning your nose up at books is blue-collar, big fish in a small pond jerk off. A few...

1) Get a copy of Joshua Bloch's book "Effective Java" second edition and learn it like the back of your hand. 2) Companies are crazy for Spring / Hibernate these days, so contributing to an open source project that has these dependencies will help your marketability. 3) Make friends in...

Can you elaborate please? (If you mean it is bullish because I'm shorting I guess you know how I feel about that: GL to you :P)

It shows up loud and clear on the XLK chart. TYP is one way to play it.

That was a really refreshing journal, thanks. The day in and day out grind for most of us makes it easy to forget the kind of excitement we all felt when we laid our first bets. By the way, your sci-fi dramatization sort of reminds me of Ziltoid. Google it if you want a laugh ;-)

The idea that all you have to do to win is guess which way everybody is leaning and go the other way is ridiculous. Nice trading strategy :P

Thanks for the link. Good video.

Steenbarger is the real deal. I've gotten so many great ideas from his writings. He's got my endorsement =)
