I want to use CQG API, for developing a strategy in c#. Have basic programming experience. Is there anybody who has used it here? Is there any additional cost for using the API, apart from paying for CQG IC? Anything else i should know of?

Haha, aptly put. Look man, why are you in a hurry. Take a collective 2 account document your trades. Get a logic behind your trading strategy, market movement and then test it out. Take a Demo account and start trading . Try at least 3-4 months. There are simply a lot of lessons to be...

I have never programmed an hft either, so wouldnt know the exact strategy. But in the end for market making you'll have to put a bid and offer to make money. Lets say using some x model. So it's just like any other strategy? why is the risk less than other strategies. Does it involve...

Sad to say, if it was just about reading the news, i would be an uber millionaire by now. The thing you read in the news should already be factored in. If you have 0 trading experience, then going all in is your only shot of tripling it(cause the odds are 50-50, if not more or less) The more...

Yea, that might work as well i suppose.

I would like to know those as well. Also, what is the inherent risk involved in market making. Isn't it simply like any other trading strategy? if so why, or why not.

One where you can get max leverage. Since you have 0 experience, i suggest placing a single bet, with large leverage, go all in. If you take more trades, the chances of you doubling or tripling decrease very fast. so place a single bet with all your money. 50-50 chances. you can dip buy e...

You are just suggesting the worst case loss for TST, which is really really low probability, of course which is why their model works. Average risk per live trader may be a better criteria. I like the new profit objectives. sadly, got a job at a real prop here, so no longer desperate . It would...

i read the article, i think the traders it is referring to isnt prop. Only thing i as a prop would be concerned about would be liquidity and volatility. both seem to be at a record low this year. though if your strategy depends low volatile mean reversion, i think you can certainly blame...

Alright. good enough currently for me.Ty.

Dont get it ..

Thanks a lot man. Have you ever read the Judy Ganes reports, what are they like. I had subscriptions for PVM reports earlier, says about 250 USD/ month, but they do a great job, worth every cent. There was simply a difference between the depth of the research. They had way more experienced...

India on top .. really? No way, taxes go quite high for anyone making a decent amount, like 30%, but from what i know its more or less the same everywhere. Sure you can save some money from some schemes, but please remove India out of it. Why isnt Dubai on top of the list- virtually no...

Thanks! it looks like a good source, cost is also pretty low. Is it popular?

I am interested in getting research/reports indicating daily/weekly/monthly changes to market fundamentals. I know of a couple of firms which do this already, but they are limited to one or two sectors. eg. PVM reports for Energy. Agresource for grains. Also, they try and give you a...

Try trading calendar spreads, most of the firms that are making money (those i know)are doing it in calendar spreads . There are relatively very few algorithms competing. The catch is that you need really competitive transaction cost. works if you are a clearing member or have that...

Thanks a lot cornholio. I quit a professional firm few years back, have regretted it ever since. The kind of facilities and work environment you get are simply not the same. Plus all the other firms are very hard to get into, cause the best ones generally hire freshers and train them, or you...
