Dima777, No, it is as Dubes said, relative value. For example, this is a trade a lot of hedgefunds had on long GS, short LEH (or MER or MS or BSC) is a simple example or it could have been +1GS -2LEH +1MER. With positions such as these it is not direction of the stock market or the specific...

Dima777, I agree with you, I don’t expect anyone to share anything proprietary either. I think the thread you started can make for an interesting discussion for informational purposes. The stuff hedge funds do for the most part can not be easily replicated any way. Those guys spend fortunes...

TraderZones has worked for 2 IB’s in algo trading and knows so much more then every one else here. Yet he does not want to share any his VALUABLE information and has had the time to post 1280 times since march. Here is a formula for everyone TraderZones=ET Troll :eek:

You could also look at Dow Jones news. That is better than Trade the news IMO.

You could try "Trade the News". I think they get thier news from Bloomberg. They are maybee a little bit more informative than CNBC and a little bit quicker but not by much. However, if you are just trying to front run a number, that wont work, those guys are using algos that are tied into...

Bump.....

JWECME, I use CQG and you can get platts and LME through them. They have a lot of stuff you can get data for. I attached the list below.

Shark, Check out CQG for charting. http://www.cqg.com/ They will give you a 2 week free trial.

Oh, and don’t forget the mortgage brokers who telemarketed home loans. Haven't had any of those calls in a while lol….

An IT guy explained it to me that it had something to do with the cpu having to go back and forth between the 2 cards and it would be taking up cpu cycles. He demonstated it with the task manager and moving the mouse from a screen that was on the first card to a screen that was on the second...

MuschleMoney, Depending on how impotent speed is to you, you might want to consider using 2 PC’s, one for charting, the other for order entry. E.g. One computer runs 2 screens for order entry and the other runs 4 screens for charting. I use a Dell with 2 3.2ghz quad xenon’s and I can...

JasonJm, There is a good editorial in the WSJ on that issue of bailing out the gse’s. I am not one of those “sky is falling people” but this seems to be a REAL mess!! At the prices fannie and Freddie are trading at, would it even be possible for them to raise any money other than a...

Props to you InvertedCurve, you called it. When spooz are tanking all that inflation fear goes right out the window. Fannie and Freddie down big again today. Personally I do not think treasuries will be all that concerned with inflation as long as financials continue to trade down, because if...

Grant, I agree with you on those points. I use TT for front end and CQG for data. It is funny how TT order entry is so good but thier charting lacks and CQG's charting is so good but thier order entry lacks. (but is getting better)I guess it is just the division of labour.....lol Are you...

Grant, I use CQG and I am very happy with it. CQG is extremely reliable and has a lot of functionality and good friendly customer service. The only drawback is that it is cost is a little high compared to most charting software, but you are getting what you pay for.

Ercit, Take a look at CQG. (www.cqg.com)

YoungTrader, I see you got a couple ticks of profit already.....

YoungTrader, I am not into programing either, that is what the college kids and their degree are for. I just got to come up with the logic for them to program. Models dont necessarily have to be programmed, they are just a form of analysis of the market and the variables that effect the...
