    Recommend Book on Autotrading?

    First of all forget true HFT unless you're some sort of savant in IT, programming, and willing to drop 5 figures a month on payola and infrastructure and have connections. Or if you have mucho dinero and can hire said components. That aside start learning the basics: Excel, C+, or C#...

    prorealtime vs madscan vs trade-ideas

    1strader, Been up and down the website. A bit sparse. Since you are a seemingly a customer, I prefer to hear from a consumer of the product and not the sales pitch of the company. For example: Price? Examples of scans? Stability? Speed?

    The Laffer Curve, employment and the Myth about Taxes

    Retail, Let me preface this by saying I liked Regan on balance. But Regan was no rose. Barry is certainly no boon. And the only difference between present day Republicans/Democrats is... Republicans want slave wages - and the Democrats want slaves. It seems the choices are...
