Yeah, when I lived in LA, they had the same bogus threat 3 years ago. They made some crap up about how terrorists like to wear long coats. I happened to be wearing a trench coat on a 75-degree day because I sat next to a vent at work. When I was walking home, I had two police cars monitor...

Use Windows task manager and keep an eye on CPU usage on the performance bar. If it gets near the top, you should be careful with order placement. It's cheaper in terms of CPU usage to just throw your orders out via hot-key on the level 2 screens and not the matrix bar.

I've never gotten wacked more than 5% on an overnight hold, but my account has grown substantially and now I'm a little worried. When I only had $2000 in my account, it made sense to put everything into 1 stock and generally hope for the best. Now, I am nearing a six figure account and I...

+$61.80, 600 shares I'm back in the game, stepping in slowly.

I use tick charts as well, but I feed them into a smooth/transformation kernel. The problem with most brokers is that they'll either send snapshot data, or rebroadcast UDP packets. Not only that, but if a trade executes on a dark pool, it doesn't have to be reported for a full 30 seconds...

This is difficult to do when you have as many money-losing idiots as you do on ET.

I'm not deliberately pretending anything. You've been outclassed once again. The fact of the matter is that corporate entities are considered to be people. Does a corporation not want to minimize the impact of taxes? Corporations can and will make rational economic decisions. In the case of...

It is very much a person according to US courts. Furthermore, its rationale for leaving is the same as my rationale for leaving. If Dick Cheney is betting against the US, why wouldn't I want to bet against the US?

Haliburton left the US for Dubai. I guess HAL doesn't have enough money for milk, rent, and a new laptop. Check your facts.

If I had a chance, I'd send you on a one-way trip to China where their authoritarian political beliefs more closely align with yours. Only idiots and well-trained sheep don't question their government.

Are you naive? They will use this to declare anything that isn't supportive of current administration policies to declare you a terrorist, silence you, declare you an enemy combatant, and throw you in a secret jail. WAKE UP, YOU GOD DAMN RETARDS! (Not you -- the guy who wrote this, I mean...

They don't even follow the laws anymore in the government. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't the United States.

If the Nazis are killing your children and I can profit off of it from my overseas haven, I will. If, on the other hand, the market reverses, I intend to profit from that also. I'm a trader, not someone who cares about your emotions or whether you're offended. The same goes for patriotism...

Attribute those quotes correctly. I didn't make that nutty statement. :-)

Random numbers do not have to conform to a normal distribution. Where do you get this? Random numbers can come from any probability distribution. All the distribution tells you is that the randomness is parameterized. Normal forces a mean and some variance. Poisson forces some parameter...

I don't understand why the dollar is the safest investment in the world. How do our politicians plan on paying back this debt? The GAO is saying we'll be broke from entitlement programs alone -- and we can't grow our way out of it. Where's the logic for this? I'm surprised people aren't...

You have some fundamental misunderstanding of what it is mathematics are doing in the world of trading. Trading and market outcomes are random variables. All individuals are doing is modeling randomless and assessing likelihood of a certain outcome. They're not saying that the outcome can't...

Normally, I don't resort to flaming. However, I'm convinced you're the biggest retard on ET. I know you're a lousy trader because you can't even afford a '.' key to type out an ellipsis. Piss off. There's no point in wasting time on those (Eddiefl) who get their milk from the cock of...

I refuse to believe there aren't foreigners out there who don't have a grasp on how to build and maintain decent infrastructure. I'd be willing to bet most third world nations have at least one pocket of livability where they have all of these things. I actually don't believe the US has...

I'm not sitting in liberal arts classes listening to professors tell me what the nature of affairs is. I'm in graduate school in a quantitative field (think lots and lots of math). When I look at the numbers and growth, it becomes painfully obvious to me that the era of American dominance is...
