    MultiCharts Automated trading

    You seem to contradict what their web-site claims on the bottom of this page, where they state it's multi-threaded. Don't shoot the messenger though... never used their software; just found the topic interesting. "MultiCharts is a multi-threaded application. This means that the more CPU cores...

    I assume you're using the GUI, right? If so... have you considered this?

    Automated emails based on price spreads

    I see that, we all have to start somewhere though. What's good IMHO is you decided to pseudo-code it first.... good job, seriously. I also like the addition of the colon at the end of the if statement; gives it an air of professionalism. I prefer curly brackets myself but I expect Python is the...

    Automated emails based on price spreads

    You probably want to check the absolute difference and make sure it's greater than some epsilon. But you're off to a good start! Lol

    Reading the Federal Reserve Act...

    I don't think anyone can argue against this. What's more interesting to me is whether central banking is a better alternative than free banking.

    Reading the Federal Reserve Act...

    Specifically, 9.4 says... "In acting upon such applications the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System shall consider the financial condition of the applying bank, the general character of its management, and whether or not the corporate powers exercised are consistent with the...

    The Fed's Real Mandate

    Another poignant quote from the article... "The real mandate of the Fed is serving its masters, the political elites, by financing government spending and debt, bailing out cronies, and supporting the political process, including the Fed’s own interests. Everything else, including the inflation...

    Reading the Federal Reserve Act...

    I think section 9 tries to clear it up but I'm the first to admit that my interpretation may not be wholly accurate. In the end it sounds like "members are the groups we allow to be members"; which amounts to a tautology. I don't suppose you're interested in the thread I started here, are you?

    That may be. Nonetheless, we must deal with the practical realities around us.

    ethics enforcement international

    Enlightened self-interest and the social contract generally mean you can trust the financial industry with your money... provided, of course, you perform adequate due diligence. Re: Ethics are only enforced by churches and families... laws are what governments enforce. IMHO it's a mistake to...

    I need help managing a bull put; I did not fully understand the trade.

    Bump! Anyone wanna take a crack at a post-mortem analysis on this? Does the principle of no-arbitrage still hold true or was there a Thanksgiving day miracle that upended it? @klattermusen... did you sell into the close? Give us an update, how'd you decide to deal with this? Inquiring minds...

    Looking for a programmer for custom job

    Do you have any coding/development experience yourself? Have you looked into using the Twitter API at all? Developing a custom project and hiring an engineer, even for something basic, isn't like going to the grocery store and picking up milk and eggs. Even a completely average, newbie software...

    Study: connection between IQ and skill-based gambling

    IMHO it seems more likely that intelligent people may be perceived as arrogant due to a self-serving bias.
