That's the core problem as far as I can tell. I'm from Asia where (so far) the women stick with the man through thick and thin and believe that is it their role to support and uphold the family. I have no idea why American men even bother with modern American women. At the very least, please...

retire45, I believe Amibroker can alert when price crosses a trend line (I have not tried it out personally, just informing you from memory). Check out this thread, which also has the script used to achieve the alert: http://www.mail-archive.com/amibroker@yahoogroups.com/msg07600.html Edit...

People like McAfee are men who built their wealth by their own efforts and savvy, not by conning others out of it. When immigrants wanted to come to America, I suppose it is the rags to riches story of folks like McAfee that used to give them hope. But, of course, he isn't part of the inner...

LINQ, F#, the DLR,...amazing things going on there. I am a Java guy, but downloaded Mono and was pleasantly surprised to find it compiles and works like a dream on RedHat without the usual GNU autoconf issues. I suppose the only reason people stay away from it now is that you never know if...

Hi eminitrader007, Hong Kong. Absolutely no doubt about it. You can always visit Bangkok because it's quite nearby and the Thai folks are quite welcoming of visitors from Hong Kong, but to live in, HK simply has a lot more things you can do. It's quite difficult to get bored in HK...

I believe the exchanges (NSE, BSE) and hence IB are constrained by the rules set by the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India), which is basically the governmental organization (read "mental organization") that can shoot enough red tape to trap even Superman if he ever dared try to...

In my work (sell-side algorithmic trading dev : VWAP, Volume Inline, etc;), my engine does most of the work, and the dealer monitors it to make sure it doesn't do anything strange when faced with unusual situations (stock hits limit up limit, etc;). It's not at all a stretch to say that w.r.t...

I use 2 Dell 24" S2409W monitors, one horizontal and one vertical. I find these (free) software quite useful for dealing with multi-monitor and window-placement issues: Window placement : http://winsplit-revolution.com/ For example, you can do Ctrl+Alt+right arrow to move the current...

Some clarification is in order : "algo trading" is clearly an overused term. The 100K to 400K LOC servers I talked about were from my line of work : sell-side broker algo trading systems that do order management and DSA-style strategies a la...

The big plus about Java and the .NET languages is the huge ready-to-use libraries behind the language. Though the Ocaml community is trying to address that concern (http://batteries.forge.ocamlcore.org/), I believe that it will take time before they catch up a) with the sheer amount of stuff...

All the best! I'm in a similar situation, and would love to earn independently, even if it's a fraction of my salary; it's the quality time that money buys that is of value, not the money per se. You're pretty knowedgeable, and I hope you succeed. numpy/scipy sounds like the right way to go...

I've had a similar experience to that of the OP after I upgraded to the new TWS. The Portfolio page showed an extra position in an SKF option. I panicked for 5 minutes, and 10s of things went over my mind : did I type in the wrong number? did they screw up in their new Combo trader? Is it a GUI...

For your next hard drive, get Casper XP or Acronis. These software basically image/clone your hard disk so that you have a byte-for-byte identical copy ready to swap in if and when your drive goes kaput. I'm using Casper XP. It was recommended (or at least discussed) by gnome and others on...

Yes, but China doesn't keep the profits that arise from the sale. It's the Apple logo that's doing the selling, the aura of "Designed in California". The biggest risk to the U.S. is that America/Americans don't look very smart after being scammed out of around $3 trillion by whoever runs the...

> China would never have any incentive to have a physical war with the United States when they've already won the economic war. A question : this statement presumes that the U.S. is actually willing to work off it's ass to pay off the debt. And it easily could : I don't know the exact number...

Eaaaaaagh!! LOL! To whoever wants to click on that link: let's just say this is a statistical outlier w.r.t. ntw31's method and thread. :p

ntw31, your statistical approach is impressive. The approach is the thing of value in your thread, not just the specific system you explained at the beginning. I also liked the pdf you posted on another thread about the study of S&R levels (still reading it). Regarding stats software : I...

Ah damn, now it looks like I was spreading panic with my exaggerated title. Oh well, that's hearsay for you. I told ya what I heard.

No link, I just heard about it from the guy who sits next to me in the office who has a friend in Citadel HK. So feel free to consider it hearsay for now.

It seems Citadel is closing all overseas offices as we speak. Staff in Hong Kong has been asked to leave in 1 hour.
