That's a brilliant potential scenario. Any arcade firm can absolutely do this because class a members have absolute discretion as to what to do with the firm's funds. Wow....almost makes me want to start an arcade. Have you ever thought about writing novels? This could be a sequel to...

Thanks. There is a lot going on behind the scenes at arcade firms and that's probably the main reason why they are not transparent. The cornerstone is control of your own capital, then next most important thing is firm risk, then your own risk management, then fees. The reasons why you...

There are many choices in this business. I'll mention one or two, and there are many many more. If you aren't willing to trade 1:1 and show you limit risk and make money, what is 10:1 going to do for you, or 25:1? Most traders seeking huge leverage with small capital are new and thus...

Well what other factors...for example: does the firm cover your data fees, is the commission SIGNIFICANTLY lower. If the firm is doing this then the split is the way to go, because then your interests and the firms interest are in the same direction : profit. The commission fee only...

Im just saying basically i see a huge trend among programmers is that they are really programmers and not traders. Nothing wrong with that, with making your testing code as cool as possible. I am also saying that too much optimization if it is optimization of your code to make it super cool...

My take on it. I could either read all the posts or have time to post. I choose this way so if what I say has already been suggested, consider this benign repetition. First, don't fight the sleep hours. Accept it now and don't fret mentally about it, until you can change the underlying...

nothing wrong with renting a nice place in Ca when you want to spend time here. No hassles, liquid, use it only when you want it. Insurance, taxes, upkeep everything all handled.

Looks like one more reason to consider Nevada the home base state.

you guys make this WAYY TOO COMPLEX. If your strategy has so many indicators that its too difficult to easily develop in C++, your system is not robust enough to trade profitably. Reduce the amount of your indicators, create a SIMPLE system, create a trading frequency and volatility you can...

Seriously? "drive parts of google" has zero to do with reading in numerical information from a file, performing calculations on that read data, and cout results to the screen. For this, C++ is the king, period, fastest, end of story. If you really want it FAST, forget about graphics, you...

its seems like a true theorem that "booms are for amateurs" for a few reasons: I think trading and poker are equal difficultly to become proficienct profressionally. Much lower barriers to poker playing, and no licensing required. In general you can hide your income much better in...

Had no idea about the cash games, the only way to avert is home games. And home games can be scary sometimes: mechanics, and other things that are annoying. Last few months C++ course taken all the poker time and time to stay around home, will see what las vegas is like at the end of...

Compare the profit / loss opportunities and the burden of legitimization through licensing in trading to ...let's say....poker play. From doing both I can tell you which one wins...hands down. Period. There is nothing like having total control of your financial liquidity. As a small...

Here is the thing: None of these exams will make you a good trader. 40 to 50 hours to study for something that won't help you? Hmm......what DOES the exam do? 1. Puts money in the pockets of the test taking industry, all facets. 2. Exposes you to all kinds of potential rule breaking as...

thanks. I guess enough said. Let us all move forward with better knowledge.

The information I have is accurate. I certainly didn't mean to offend you personally (evidence by your profanity). I am well aware of the process of exposing truth, the first step is complete ridicule by those who are ignorant of the material facts. Your response fits perfectly into the...

Start with correct grammar. That's the first place I would begin.

Your taxes aren't funding any handouts. Your and my taxes don't fund anything except maybe at the state level. At the federal level, 100% of the money you pay in taxes goes to pay the owners of the Federal Reserve as interest on the currency they have loaned the US. When things such as...

Right on.

I had one conversation with Mark back in 2003. He didn't detail his direct results, and we didn't talk about his returns in detail. HOwever, remember him telling me that his problem, h says, wasn't in making money. He basically says his discipline problem was in his expenditures. I think...
