Why do we have to look to the Federal Government for everything? If a state or local government wants to improve it's infrastructure to generate jobs, increase safety, produce efficiency by reducing commuting times or attract business then let each state do one of two things. 1.) Raise...

It's hard to see how it can be anything else but a one day thing or at best a short retrace to the lower trend line or some support in which case the bubble continues. Yeah growth at 1.6% was better than 1.4% but it was cut from 2.4%. With these numbers where else are investors to put there...

We had two failed attempts to break above the 100DMA. Now it looks like the 100DMA may cross below the 200DMA this coming week. I took a quick look on my charts and 3 of the last 5 times that happened in the last 10 years things got really bad. I don't see anything in the volume or OI that...

You should actually do some programming before posting such crap.:confused: This is taken directly from the link you provided... "Cpp is the fastest, except the STL "hashmaps" test is a lot slower, maybe someone can take a look at the source code, I use STL <map>, because <hash_map> was...

Who's the broker and whose API are you using? You may have better luck posting on the support forum for that particular Broker/API you plan to use. I suggest you investigate the possibility of compartmentalizing your project. Develop separately three portions of your system... 1.) use...

If what's critical in your mission critical app is a lot of processing and calculation of data, c++ is the way to go hands down. I can see where some HFT routines could be implemented where seconds count and you would want to use c++. c++ can be on a order of 2-30 times faster for some calcs...

Like I said, I don't trade the system described in my first post, I've just heard of it. I trade silver and gold in both spot and futures. I typically trade gold based on fundmentals and silver mostly on technicals. If I traded such a system I would use the spot market so as to easily trade...

I trade Gold and Silver individualy (mostly gold) but never together in some strategy. Money flows in and out of these instruments and impact other markets like Forex so I follow them religously. Nevertheless, I've heard of a strategy that goes something like this. 1.) Compile an index...

I don't think those firms are what we are considering to be "Forex Brokers". They make money in the retail market by commissions they charge for each trade, typically equities, options. You most likely will not pay comissions to a "Forex Broker". If you do, get another one. Now if "Forex...

Forex Brokers operate as bucket shops. They have x number of dollars on each side of the market that you purchase from them. They make money by the number of trades you make so it is in there best interest to keep you satisfied with there service. I have an account with Oanda, FXCM, IB...

Then you use a regression type SVM with the appropriate kernel if you want to solve for a magnitude. The LibSVM will do both regression and classification.

My friend, what do you need someone else trading system for? Go here and... http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ and download the compiled executables and you'll have everything you'll need to scale, train, and predict for your own trading system. You will then be able to conclude...

I find the volume data of the futures market useful for the forex but only on a daily scale. The data is available from the CME so I believe is reputable. Attached is a plot that shows the continuous and combined futures volume for the EUR. I don't use this info exclusively to trade but I...

I suspect that anybody who posts here or any other board has no clue about trading successfully. They troll these boards searching for a magic bullet - desperate to find a method they can eek out a few bucks with. The fact of the matter is if you aren't succesful as a trader within six months...

The equation I am using is one of many that are used to describe chaotic motion. Remember, I am trying to answer the question: Do markets follow random or chaotic motion? Here is an excellent source for description of the logistic map equation. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LogisticMap.html...

First time poster here. A search for "chaos" on the internet brought me here to some of the threads on ET. I was encouraged by some of the discussion both for and against the idea that chaos or random movements rule the market. I've been intrigued with this idea so I decided to begin doing...
