    how to create this simple program?

    Depending on your broker and the instrument you are trading, you might be able to do what you want with "Good-Until" or "Good After" orders (I'm using IB as an example). This allows you to keep the orders on the broker side, which will remove the need to deal with internet/CPU problems on your...

    This is Why U.S. college educations are worthless.

    I am not familiar with how universities operate in other countries, but one huge bone I have to pick with the US system is this: why am I forced to take so many unnecessary courses in order to earn my degree? I earned an engineering degree from a public school, but I'd say at least 25-40% of my...

    How much do you think I would lose on POT call option?

    For some reason, I just have this image of a "George-Plimpton" looking butler entering with a glass of Chardonnay, glancing at the screen and saying: "Well played, sir...the McClaren has just arrived. Shall I put it in the D wing of the garage with the other collectables?"

    I don't think you're quite correct as item #6 of the conduct prohibits posting commercial links if you're not a sponsor. The URL listed appeared to be nothing more than some dudes blog.

    Non-directional strategies for 11-12% yearly return

    Atticus had some good comments in the thread "generating $1000/month on $150k" (I think he started 10 or so pages in to the thread). If I recall, his basic approach was a buy/write strategy on a diversified basket of low-volatility stocks while maintaining an insurance policy against market...
