Oh yeah Nitro!!! I made my biggest one day take ever on that rebalance (500K) discussed in the first paper. I actually read that paper (used Quantex for a while), but I was there and made the trade and man oh man did those stocks pop after the close. I have done a lot of very cool strategies...

edgehunter - I only subscribe to the journal of finance and the journal of financial research, but there are hundreds of financial journals. Here is a link to them all; http://www.cob.ohio-state.edu/fin/journal/jofsites.htm there are also free databases that allow you to search massive...

S&P Game has been around since they changed the rules in 1988 and grew stronger in the 90's as huge amounts of money became indexed. By the mid 90's the first research papers started popping up in all the financial journals and that is when and why I became a trader. I made millions out of...

I'm good for a few things, ha! This rebalance should not affect GOOG at all since it is not currently in the index. However, and I have not checked, GOOG will definitely be reweighted in the upcoming annual Russell rebalancing due to its growth in market cap. It is already a constituent, but...

keyser1, I have personally made millions playing S&P rebalancings. I understand the game better than anyone. It worked great until the last few years (when even the dumber hedge funds finally caught on). Now that everyone is doing it, the risk/reward is not so impressive. But you...

The quarterly S&P rebalance takes place friday effective after the close. The official announcement from S&P is released wednesday after the close and available via S&P's index alert product. All the hedge funds wortj their salt have already estimated the S&P adjustments and placed their...

It is not true, as long as the corporation is wholly owned by you. The wording is tricky and most brokers aren't aware of it. I traded my personal account for years through an s corp at one of the biggest houses on the street and even they weren't aware of it. All of the exchanges go by the...

You have struck another pet peeve of mine. It has been my observation that you can take your optimistic attitude and shove it up your ass. I don't care if you come into to work so fired up you've got a hardon and have a Baptist choir sitting next to you singing uplifting hymns all...

And it means nothing to you unless you have a couple million laying around and intend to open a prime brokerage account directly with a clearing firm.

I have 2 prime brokerage accounts with SLK. One for my S-Corp and one for my Pension Plan. You do not need to be a broker or even pay professional fee's to clear directly. You are just a regular guy with an account. This is how all the hedge funds do it. Now if you want more than standard...

basically it doesnt matter much how you are structured as long as you are running only your money and not giving anyone advise either. So if you are just trading your own account, you can structure however and stil be non-pro. If you join an llc or put up money with a prop shop then of...

You claim you are an investment advisor rep of your wholly owende corporation. You are mistaken. There is no such thing. Period. End of discussion. When you wholly own a corporation (such as an S-Corp or an LLC). You do not have to fill out any investment advisor BS, and if you did...

The only reason you should really mess with forming an S-corp or LLC (which can be single member depending on the state of incorporation) is to establish a pension plan. If you are serious about trading for a living (and you are making money), you should establish a pension plan immediately...

Im just telling you what Paul at redi told me......I will let you know what speed i get but their one API guy said 7-10 orders per second max.....he also said to check your blotter each time you submit orders, because unlike submit, submit2 will not throw a pop up to alert you if an order was...

I just spoke with Paul Anderson (the only SLK guy that knows anything about this). He is sending me the new code syntax. He said that this new submit2 order will max out at 7 - 10 orders per second (depending on the server) not 50 as you had mentioned. I got this info str8 from the horses...

Out of curiosity, how long has this submit2 order been around? Is there some way to receive regular updates? Is there even one asshole at SLK that knows anything about this code besides Paul Anderson? I have been using this for years and I shit you not, using the order.submit I max out at...

Oliver, Whoever told you that is smoking crack. No way, not even close. I use REDI + and submit orders right from my Excel spreadsheet using VBA. I am connected with a full private T-1 directly to the REDI servers, and I use a dual xeon 3.06 screamer with 2 gigs of memory to submit the...

I dont really know many people in this business. Also, I don't believe many introducing brokers allow API access due to liability issues.

REDI+ also has a FIX interface which I forgot to mention. REDI+ has a very easy to use VBA link to Excel. So I guess the answer to your question is "Some other proprietary API". Tradefactory does not have a website and does not advertise. Oh I am sure there is a website called...
