how do you decide which side is stronger or weaker?

me too. i even hate weekend. when i was employed, i felt relaxed on and longing for friday. now monday is more exciting. nertheless, i think trading makes me happier since for one year, i am happy most of time, compared with employed, i was unhappy 250 days per year.

i recommend http://www.pitrading.com. i bought a few times from them. cheap and accurate.

ninjatrader has a market replay simulator. but you need to sign in for database either free from your broker or a paid data vendor.

is it possible to talk with ib to ask them to provide only daily win/loss? it is a win-win situation for them too. frankly, I am also concerned ib may decode my trades, so i sometimes insert random trades or buy and sell use different brokers. for mechanical traders, reverse-engineering is...

that is a good question. in the past, i recommended a guy into our group, it turned out he was incompetent. in the end, i took over his job, equivalent i was doing 1.5 jobs for 1 salary.

from previous talks, he is honest. besides, i think he has no point to make the story.

1) since it is an online friend, i can not say i know him too much. 2) he did not explicitly ask me to do. 3) i do not know my classmate firm' job description yet. 4) i am not so sure if he will fit there very well. his background: a current tenured professor in computer science in a local...
