I'm reading their web site, and it seems like I still need to have a copy of tradestation. How are you running your EL strategies? If I open an account with these guys, do I have to maintain an account with TradeStation? I think TradeStation is great, but I don't like their platform fee...

Are they cheaper than tradestation? TS platform fees are heavy.

I'm curious about OpenECry. Does it support EasyLanguage?

I worked in the industry at a top-tier bank for a while. The job itself was ok, but the reason I left was because my good manager left and I had a douchebag replace him. That was enough for me. But I agree with the other poster -- just work there long enough to get their name on your resume...

I've been reading your posts for years. And now, finally a journal. I can't wait for your next post. :-)

I used to feel like a slave, and then I found a job I actually like. My only gripe about where I work is that I'm not in charge of the decision making. But I've also come to the conclusion that my employer wouldn't be successful in the way I want to be successful if they didn't have some...

Using lines() and points() helped me achieve what I wanted to achieve, but I'd be interested in a solution involving par(new=T) if anyone out there has such a solution.

I saw some people here post some good advice about using R once, so I started to teach myself how to use it. There's a command called par(new=T) that lets you plot over the previous plot. The problem is that even though you're using the same plot, the dimensions of a new plot can change. I...

Thank you very much for your informative reply, bone.

I was using this pair of networking hardware for low-frequency automated trading. For whatever reason, this particular WiFi bridge rewrites the checksum from corrupted data packets and forwards them on over its wired interface. The results were disastrous (to trading.) Since the bridge...

All the educated Americans will be dead or outnumbered when the baby boomers die. If you don't believe me, walk into the engineering and math departments of any top 30 engineering school in the US. The future of America are the people they feature on TV shows like "Jersey Shore" now.

The Indian knows better than to buy food until he knows there's no melamine in it. The Chinaman, on the other hand, will kill himself, his children, and his pets -- if he isn't killed already on "first world infrastructure" after the warranty expires. The Chinese are only doing better right...

I would like to open a bank account in India so I can trade Indian stocks from the US over Interactive Brokers. Is there a way that NRIs can do this remotely without having to make a trip to India? Has anyone done this?

I'm curious what all the spins are on this definition. I was reading a paper on optimizing some stochastic control problem, and the paper didn't bother to specify where the anchor point in the control problem was, whereas that book by Mark Conway decided to use returns from a daily close, etc...

I'm an NRI, and I think what holds India back is the cultural attitude towards risk. As much as it's great to produce a lot of doctors and engineers, the culture needs to refocus on producing entrepreneurs. I don't think the Chinese have such an aversion to risk. In some ways, they're more...
