TWS is spewing this non-stop into my terminal now, version 920.4: 10:42:38:956 JTS-usfarmDispatcher-57: Error: no ec for deep server tag 24834 10:42:39:705 JTS-usfarmDispatcher-57: Error: no ec for deep server tag 24834 10:42:39:706 JTS-usfarmDispatcher-57: Error: no ec for deep server tag...

I reinstalled kubuntu and the 15-second charts are broken and cause lockups, even on a different variant of Ubuntu. Something broke on the way to 11.10, and I'm not sure it has anything to do with IB's code, something about Ubuntu's new release causes the 15-sec chart lockup. It's only the...

So this is the issue, right: Reading price action. Say you read the price action and you find what you think is a pattern, and then you want to classify whether your observations on that price action have merit. Then, you need some sort of classifier if you want to automate things and...

So you claim they removed Timber Hill from SMART. How do I hit them now if I want to deliberately hit them?

With all this talk of transaction taxes and what not, I sort of feel like he has a point. If they pass that transaction tax I might as well go on welfare and blame everyone else for my problems -- since, by passing the transaction tax, everyone else will have become my problem.

Can you recommend some good books on NN architecture? I've read the basic books and they all use similar, basic networks and don't seem to give much intuition on model building and architecture. The Amazon reviews are hard to extract value from, because one man's "not enough math" is another...

It's just another way to do classification problems, but NNs can be somewhat unwieldy which is why I've avoided them in general and instead opting for simpler techniques.

This probably has more to do with Ubuntu and Unity being ridiculous, but if I try to load a chart in TWS in Ubuntu 11.10 (the recent release), the entire TWS app locks up. I'm not sure why. Also, it seems like the CPU utilization goes way up and all my fans turn on. This was not a problem...

I was reading frostengine's thread and I had a few questions for users of neural nets. I currently do not use neural nets, but I find them interesting. When you guys feed inputs from price time-series into your neural nets, do you "bin" events or inputs by a given time span? If I observe...

I've explained this to a lot of people as well, but I'm finding more and more of the people I know (some of whom are very well educated) really want this tax for some reason. They honestly believe it will solve wealth disparity, which doesn't make any sense. It's not as if government targeted...

Well, there's two scenarios right: 1) It's a point of confusion where there's a battle, or 2) It's deliberate gaming to trick market players into reacting a certain way. The reason I lean towards 2 is because lots of little guys would just be reacting to each other, little cockroaches swarming...

I don't think I have an edge against the bots, that's why I paper trade ES. It's too efficient for me to gain a foothold in as a retail trader.

The first reason is that I guess I'm curious as to why so many disagreements would happen on some days vs. others. Some days it's like everyone agrees, and other days, there are rather violent clashes from difference of opinion, and I don't understand why there'd be so much dissent clustered so...

I don't trade the ES, I just read blogs of ES traders and paper trade it for fun. I've been observing the "personality" of ES and noticing how it changes on some days vs. other days, and I noticed that sometimes (on the tape) there'll be a large trade (or set of trades) one way, followed by a...

Bill, there is no one else on ET who has educated me as much as you have in your posts. As simple as this post is, I feel like you "get it." Thanks.

I guess 50% of workers would really hate the pattern day trader rule, seeing as they'd have to work several years just to overcome it.

Yeah, maybe. My Dell had two issues: power supply failure, and there was overheating so I had to reapply thermal paste and reattach the heat sink. Once I did that the system started operating normally again. This was easy to do/fix, but not something that should be done within the first 3...

I've had success with VelocityMicro.com. I like VelocityMicro.com quite a bit, because their service was great and they gave me a good price back when i7 systems weren't even shipping at other retailers. I went to these guys after Dell really disappointed me -- every single Dell box I've...

Where do they get 115k a year? If everyone got everything all the time, why do you even need money? What's the point? As soon as money enters the system, there's going to be some guy who figures out how to get more money than other people. Then, basically, we'd have the other problem that...

I chose to trade because I don't believe the market is as efficient as the buy-and-holders think it is.
