shortboy.com is NOT a hedge fund. If he was then you would be investing your money in his fund. Rather you are buying signals from him. As such, it is important to look at his TRADING performance to see how good he is. In each and every post re this matter I have made the distinction of...

Pray tell what 'misinformation' have I started?? As I recall you are the one : 1] attacking me personally, calling me a "liar", "jealous" etc 2] mistaking annualized returns with normal returns 3] typing again again that shortboy made $200,000 4] and that this is "good money" shall...

vvv, I agree. Last time I checked this was elitetrader.com not lemmingtrader.com The only reason I'm here in this thread is to expose the hype and misinformation. Hype: Screaming that shortboy.com made $200,000 over two years Fact: trading performance of shortboy.com is as...

mistermark, 1] interesting that you do not acknowledge that I was correct about the 1999 performance. Nor do you acknowledge that you did not understand the concept of annualized return. Just a while back you were yelling at the top of your lungs that I was lying and insulting me. Not that I...

what does this mean exactly (not receiving quote data)? I wonder if this is the same problem that is causing stop problems with equities. Def, could you please explain this. Thanks

I wonder if he gave the 2400 employees the "Relax..." speech! :p

Jake, when someone doesn't understand the difference between annualized returns and normal returns and because of this ignorance calls me a liar and other insults; I stand up and explain (see page 4 of this thread). However, I have learned through this and other similar experiences that...

Very true WarEagle, reminds me of Covey's 'sharpen the saw' chapter in his famous book.

Baron, thanks for all the new goodies (especially the ignore function) I have to agree with the others, the white background is a bit harsh.

check out the book section of this site. There are some great ones cited. It really depends where you are in your learning curve. IMHO it is way more important to know what you don't know, than to know what you do know. did that come out right? ;) Also search the site for previous...

janko, use the edit function please! :)

ignorance is bliss

mr.mark, [1] I now realize that I am dealing with someone who does not understand the difference between an annualized return and a true rate of return ; a basic element of finance. And [2] I have no interest in engaging in a dialogue with someone who will use insults rather than...

Here is my comment re Bill's profitability (trading only): In 1999 8.39% [note: half year June start] In 2000 18.67% In 2001 1.96% (so far) I guess "good money" as you call it is in the eye of the beholder. I look at the above because it is the result of his trading prowess (or lack...

P2, why not just start a website selling calls? ala shortboy.com or trendfund.com, et al. vini, vidi, websiti lol ;)

mrmark, if you had read my post you would discover that my point is that he adds int to his trading p/l and then presents both as his trading p/l I do not 'fib'. The info that I calculated (percentage of p/l from NON trading) is not to be found on shortboy.com As I've always said, I...

Kicking, for a great explanation of all this read "Getting Started in Technical Anaylsis" by Jack Schwager (same guy who did the Wizards series). He writes in a clear way and provides examples.

Grabbit, what route were you using? BEST, BEST_ECN, other? this could be the difference. could.

actually, the old saying is that one rotten apple can spoil the whole lot. you can see that in action right here. If candletrader does indeed leave elitetrader it will be a loss as I only saw interesting and thought provoling posts from him. I hope that he returns.

Getting back to the original intent of this thread: block trades: I read the section in "Market Makers Edge". I didn't see anything that would give you an edge on interpreting block trades. Basically the author explains thoroughly the different situations that can arise to create a block...
