I am getting annoyed by these analysts upgrading this piece of crap. Fall and die a quick death already, you piece of shit stock.

Still though, wouldn't artificial inflation assist in solving the sub prime problem? Then that artificial inflation would be countered with a very, very strict tightening.

He's basically saying market manipulation and propping the market up are the solution so sub-prime buyers can drop their holdings. Yeah, this doesn't make sense at all. Maybe he wants a subtle increase in money available to force inflation to make the houses appraise more than what happens...

Not to mention financing an education is hardly cheap. At Columbia University near where I live, it's $900 per credit or something. You might say, "Oh, well go to a community college." When you go down to the community college level, you might get the same education, but no one ever takes you...

I put a stop above the high of the day so far. If it goes past that, I have to eat my losses and go drop tears into a beer. I'm hoping this little spike was just the last leg of attempting to close the gap, and am hoping other players are intent on maintaining a short to take this guy to $30...

Doh. I completely forgot.

I was short this stock at $35. Day before yesterday was great, then yesterday some dickwad analyst gave this stock an upgrade. I didn't understand the reason for the upgrade, and now today, I find this stock up and against me with an accidental move past my initial stop. Why is this stock...

Someone on this forum posted some charts a while back where the candlesticks were with respect to volume bars instead of time. I'm using TradeStation and am wondering if someone could assist me in acquiring or setting up such a display. I'm intrigued by that alternative display.

Do you guys trade the initial break out or the pullback? What's your method for determining whether a break-out was legitimate or not? How does a break-out trader survive, exactly. I lose so much on all the false starts and don't quite have a grasp of when to terminate the trade. Everyone...

I started to port my code from E-Signal's EFS to TradeStation EL. I can't deal with E-Signal anymore. That product makes me so angry. TradeStation EL is infinitely better. Rather than develop from scratch, I think I will simply bridge TS8.1 to my trading framework. With school, work, and...

Long time no update. I started taking classes in preparation for graduate school, so my time got forked. I got a job to pay for graduate school and my job allows me the freedom to still be a trader; however, classes interrupt my trading day now. So it's even more important that I progress...

Hehe. I used the 2/28s to flip properties in 03-04 1 at a time as owner occupied because they almost always beat the fixed rate mortgage products, but there was always a 5k prepay penalty tacked on. Those loans are dangerous, but they generall have provisions to lock how fast the payment...

+$45 this morning. Note for future development: There was an erroneous tick at the close for the sotck I was interested in. That tick caused a theoretical price discrepancy which caused the morning prices used for the trading system to screw up. So, I must add a tick cleanser so the...

I am all kinds of retarded, so perhaps that basement-dwelling Walter Jennings character was right to question my mathematical ability. I forgot to enable adaptive stops on the last backtest. This is a backtest after I ran the discrete tick point data through a filter to remove high...

I only have 3 months of data, but here's the equity curve on backtests of 1m intervals. Since the system looks at multiple stocks, it cycles between different products so the %'age of time in the market for any one product is not very long. The system exercises no position sizing and just...

I live on the UWS also. The other day, I gave a bum some money because it's the holidays and all, and the guy thought I wanted sexual favors from him. I was like, "Damn guy , I just gave you 50 cents. Do people expect sexual favors for 50 cents?" The girl I was with asked why I even talk...

Pay attention to the parameters on the callbacks in GTAPI. Those connected/disconnect messages I think refer to the various feeds that are on their side. So for example if ITCH goes down for them, I think they broadcast that information in the form of a connect/disconnect message. I use the...

You don't need a car, but the subway is hardly a pleasnt commuting experience. It's $76/month for a metro card, but I'd say the time you spend commuting will essentially offset any gains you make by not having a car in suburbia somewhere. You don't save time at all living here, and I live...

Maybe as an analyst or a trader your bonus can be that high. On the IT side of things, you get only enough to offset the initial taxes. $100,000 in NY = poverty level.

I live there right now and in Manhattan, and I can tell you it is not cheap. I spent three months looking for an apartment and the cheapest I could find outside of Harlem was $1500 to have a 20 minute commute on the 1-2-3 line to the financial district. If you go to Brooklyn, the prices don't...
