    Satellites for $250 per week: great investment!

    I know JOBS Act is changing the way solicitation rule works for these start ups - but not being in the PE or angel space, is there really no more limitations on this sort of stuff?

    Bill Gate's Secret Hedge Fund

    Surf, I don't get your point. He doesn't talk about what who his son/daughter dates either; nor do you talk about your own personal finance. Why would you expect him to talk about his own private affairs?

    Is it possible to make money automated trading?

    Changing the words to something completely irrelevant doesn't not make for wit. But then, you use the word 'Noobs'. I should expect your level of intellect to be on par with your age.

    Is it possible to make money automated trading?

    Show me one academic study that claims 'roads are built all random'. Is this what passes for discourse these days?

    Capital Available for Traders

    Arg.... this kind of subtle incorrectness annoys me every time... there's no normality assumptions behind sharpe, sortino, or std. For christ's sake, there's an explicit standard deviation (or the second moment) for EVERY freaking distribution (even in the pareto family, it's just infinite in...

    Some jobs require only H1B, B1 and B2 visas apply. No citizens please

    Hum.... the last time I hired someone who needs a H1B status, per legal, my HR needed to show that we couldn't find a citizen who could fullfill the role. It was quite a bit of extra work. So... this kind of exclusion looks like a hoax.

    Bank of America blocks Zero Hedge

    Ah okay. Every time I tried reading ZH, I couldn't... just can't make it through the wild assumptions and bombastic tone.

    Rocket scientist want to move to the financial industry: How to?

    What kind of 'rocket' scientist are you? Are you an aerospace engineering guy? Are you a signal processing guy? Work with flight control systems? Or are you a C/C++ 'rocket' science guy?

    Favourite ET posters

    You might consider that guys do this kind of stuff in real life won't and can't post their trades at all, never mind in real time.

    Building an ATS - Logbook

    So much software engineering.... so little trading.... In all likelihood, your algo (SMA, std, whatever) will require so little actually processing that you are just wasting your time with all of this; Unless you are doing 2000x2000 matrix inversion in real-time, why bother with all this...

    Building an ATS - Logbook

    Updating an SMA calculation with each incoming quote is literally one subtraction, one addition, and one division; Granted, these are floating number ops, but the amount of instruction needed for multiple threads will be FAR larger! (std is a few more instructions) Know your algorithms!

    If your strategy can't survive 100ms delay, you are not going to trade the strategy in a retail setting anyway. (yes yes, threading is not that hard, nor is spawning processes; it's just not that necessary)

    Building an ATS - Logbook

    A self-published book from someone who appears not to have verifiable experience in the field (at least nothing googling turned up)... not to mention billed as "Part career-travelogue, part self-help book"..... ... this doesn't appear to be a serious book.
