Interesting. Thanks for posting this.

Depends on your strategy. With some strategies, such as always-in strategies for example, the outcome of one trade can influence the probable outcome of the next trade, so it may make sense to change position size accordingly. With a trading system that is more opportunistic, and trades only...

I'd be interested to hear what you find out. I'm working on a trading system backtester that supports level 2 futures data and I want to try it out on equities at some point. Essex Radez/Exigy is another provider with a level 2 equities feed, though I'm not sure if it is as complete as you...

Thanks trader422, I had been wondering about the quality of their market depth data. I've noticed from comparing futures charts built with Esignal data to DTN data that Esignal does not seem to be as accurate or consistent with their bid/ask data as DTN is so I'm not surprised to hear that...

DTN doesn't provide market depth for equities, though they say they're planning to, but what about Esignal? http://www.esignal.com/esignal/matrix/default.aspx and http://www.esignal.com/exchanges/default.aspx?name=North_South_AmericanRegions

zdreg you hit the nail on the head. The chief impediment to jobs is regulations and taxes. Seriously, as a busines owner, why would you hire an american for any job that can be done over the internet, or where the factory can be moved overseas, when you can hire someone overseas who will charge...

I really enjoyed that long post - thanks for sharing your experiences and stories about other traders. Also enjoying the funkadelic - haven't listened to them in forever. Great stuff.

Thanks for posting Savant. Great article. I would like to add one point related to the 3rd P - private property. Socialists don't like to come right out and say it, but a fundamental tenet of socialist policies is taking resources by force from people. In plain language, taking things by...

Thanks. That makes sense.

Sounds interesting. Would you care to expand on that idea a little?

Don't ban Bearice. Bearice is awesome!

The broken window fallacy recognizes the easy-to-see economic gain of replacing the broken glass, but it fails to consider the harder-to-see economic loss that results because the money to pay for the broken glass cannot now be spent on whatever it would otherwise be spent on. By breaking the...

A good example of the "broken window fallacy"

Interesting stuff, Local. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to your future posts.

Thanks!

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Bill!

So True. Socialists always have the fantasy that we can just fix things by taxing the rich more, but it never works out that way in reality. At most, they end up heavily taxing the small to medium sized business and property owners, thus preventing most of them from getting big enough to...

I just PMed you. On second thought, $2k isn't really that much money for 4 months of training. If you can afford the time and money, and if it won't set you back too far if doesn't work out, then maybe you should just go for it. It's bound to be an educational experience.

I know nothing specifically about Pristine. There are plenty of educators out there who haven't sicked their lawyers on any forum to remove negative posts, and have never been associated with individuals known to run off with clients' money. Why on earth would someone consider giving money to...

I wonder if the autotrading restriction is something particular to IB? There are a number of signal services that offer options autotrading with various brokers. Here's an autotrade service that handles options and works with IB: http://www.global-autotrading.com/ Maybe they have someone there...
