For with good knowledge of the two software programs which would be better to code a mechanical strategy. I am more interested in which would be better for actually just coding a strategy, thats all. Thanks.

take a look at treasuries.

IF u smart enough, you will realise that there is some benefits by not trading the cross rate. Although it will not be pure arbitrage anomilies but there is inneficiences to be exploited if using spot trading.....thats all i can say. The mispricings between these pairs are non-existent nowadays...

Take ssss's advice. I can see fromyou questions that you are not ready for this. You will just be a liquidity provider. Regarding usd/cad, you better back test further than 5yrs, since the last 5yrs have been uncharacteristically good. Also look at a lot of academic research and you will...

My aim is to finally profit off the long call. I trade currencies therefore could you tranlate from stock language to fx language. Thanks for the info.

What if i buy a long call, then sell a put at the same time and delta hedge the put, so as to profit from the theta earned. The theta profits less the delta hedging costs could cut into the theta costs of the long call. Does this sound viable?

well firstly you are going to need a dde link for live qoutes to do that. Why don't u just use your brokers position management system. Also an excel pos management system should be based on your preferences, so your best option would be to design it and let someone put together for you as that...

Is there a way to hedge theta? It does not have to be 100% hedged as i doubt that is possible but if at least 60% can be hedged. Does anyone do this? Thanks in advance.

If you look closer, you will realise that both sides of the markets are being affected those who re long and those who are short. The shorts who are in the money got hit by the interest rate, those that panicked pulled out and some may have reversed, some may have added, either way the fed cut...

What steve says is true........its MBT is probably one of the best places for a retail fx trader to be, excellent execution and not stop hunting. The onlly issue i still have with then is their is their roll over interest....its very high and the commisions are very steep, hopefully in the...

So i am guessing you expect that equity curve to just move straight up....we all hit those rough patches, but if your system got you that far hang on a little longer. Looking at your graph you should still be in very good profit, which means u are loosing profits, unless you got one grazy...

I always say......some people deserve to loose their money. I can guarantee you, come 3yrs down the line you will be either buying some system off e-bay or asking for some good books to learn about trading. As for fxcm teaming up with fx-auto.........."where are all the customers yatchs" Wake...

His ass!

well....if they have an edge you should be indifferent between the two but taking into account your risk preferences, then you should decide based on that. I cant see why steve will disqualify either one of them if they are profitable.

Simply put......black people are screwed in the long run, unless they learn to play the game of this world which is Capitalism......its all just a game with race just one of the things that make it not possible for black people to see the forest from the trees. The Jews, Italians. chinese and...

This is an excellent post......i have ran into this debate a number of times before and many people will agree with the post above. To believe that intelligence is based on racee is just crazy and looking at many of the ignorant post it makes me wonder about the level of reasoning on ET. I...

you are probably from South Africa as it is the only place that really pushes the CA designation while london. The reality is this, if you become a CA, it would be excellent for equity trading based off fundamentals, as your time spent doing auditing during your internship will help spot...

I have to agree with someone who posted earlier that this a really stupid thread. I was just entertained by the back and forth drama between the author and others. I have not read either of the turtle books......although while i was at the bookshop, i saw the first one, looked through it for...

Thanks, it seems like they do, i am going to go through their tutorial manual, i hope it is not just historical data on option prices, but they seem pretty efficient and the software is relatively cheap as well. I hope it work!!
