    How much capital required to generate $200/day pair trading?

    You are talking unleveraged, right? If I get 10x leverage, we're talking about 17k. I will definitely check out your work.

    How much capital required to generate $200/day pair trading?

    I didn't say must-make-money-everyday, I said average, meaning some days will be up, some days will be down, but the end result is an average of $200. Though, your point about opportunities not occurring is definitely valid -- I'm asking, based on people's experience with opportunities...

    How much capital required to generate $200/day pair trading?

    Just a poll -- Assuming you routinely found such pairs to trade. How much of a capital base would you require to say, average $200/day? Informal guess -- I know it depends on random variables, but a guess with regard to the current market would be nice to poll.

    Reversion To the Mean (RTM) Intraday Strategies

    I like this thread. I don't trade at a frequency where much, if anything, is normal. I'm trading sub-minute strategies in very liquid instruments and sub-second liquidity providing strategies. This is a plot of the distribution of some normalized[1] data from that time-frame. [Attached]...

    i really hate my job

    Sort of. I one-upped all of them a while back and now it's retaliation.

    i really hate my job

    It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. I live a really terrible life with illness and mental problems. The money basically keeps me flat. I earn nothing. Well, I won't quit -- at the very worst, get fired, so I collect unemployment. I'm eligible for welfare because of various disorders...

    i really hate my job

    $100,000 base, $40,000 was written into the first year contract as a bonus. I'm really losing my patience where I work.

    i really hate my job

    I used to try hard. Figured i'd get more reward, maybe get to work on cooler stuff if not for higher pay. But I'm done. Fuck em. I have 1 month left, and then I'm done. Or I'm looking for a new job. I need to make it on my own. Hopefully my finances work out and I will be in a much...

    What is happening to men?

    The real danger to white men is acceptance of MTV culture. Where it's okay to be a loafer and an idiot while you rack up notches on your bed from conquests of women who are equally as dumb, if not dumber. Look how many white guys suck at math now, vs the 50s when they were all excited to try...

    What is happening to men?

    Having gone to the Ivy League, I can tell you that the people in the Ivy League are no longer competitive geniuses. They're just the ones least damaged by today's system, or ones who were lucky to have parents who saw how damaging the public education system was.

    What is happening to men?

    Europe doesn't use socialism in its schools. France is brutal about competition and their grading system and academic system creates some serious geniuses.

    I prove that 99% of you can't make it, Ironically this thread helps improve your odds

    Post a photo of your porsche and the credit card / bank statement / cashed check that you used to buy it, and I will listen. Otherwise, shut up.

    The reality in New York City and the economy...

    Yeah, like Bed-Stuy. I suppose if I move there, I should forget this trading equities business and start trading cocaine and stolen automobile parts.

    The reality in New York City and the economy...

    A cheap affordable joke. My friend who makes like $60,000 a year has a nice house, a car, and a view of a lake. He bought his place in 2004 and he could pay it off any day. Had I done the same thing in Manhattan, I'd be going into foreclosure and would probably be a divorced chain smoker...

    I prove that 99% of you can't make it, Ironically this thread helps improve your odds

    Look, if I were Bill Gates, it wouldn't prevent you from coming here and wasting everyone's time. The real issue is why someone who thinks they are a winner wants to pontificate to losers. Even if you are a king among retards, you're still a retard.

    What is happening to men?

    I don't mean to be racist, but basically, if you want to know what the country will be like, just look at black people. The black man today is what the white average joe will be tomorrow. Black people have been experimented on with government programs forever. They put the welfare state on...

    The reality in New York City and the economy...

    I am not going to live like those losers. They think they get deals when they get a nice apartment and manage to sneak a third artist and an illegal immigrant in off the lease to pay the rent on a 2 bedroom 9th floor walk-up. Jersey has the Pine Barrens. I'm going to live like some kind of...

    You are wrong in this thread. Do principal components analysis on the returns of some of these products and you'll find the core underlying factorization responsible for returns in these different asset classes. Suddenly ES has similarities with YM, and certain aspects of MSFT have...

    What is happening to men?

    Nitro, it is not a raising children issue. In public school these days, there are special programs like "math for girls". Furthermore, the government structure really encourages girls and offers zero incentive for men. Let me put it this way: In the 80s and early 90s, in school, it was...

    Bankruptcies of Major Homebuilders and Real Estate prices

    It's still in the pipe, coming at us. SPG has a few units that have defaulted on debt payments and they diluted their stock to raise cash to pay off debt. There is irrational hope for commercial real estate, but, really, it's just a matter of time before consumer spending contracts more. As...
