    Excel DDE Add-In

    That won't work for me - I do not even have the RTD add-in as an available option when I look in file>options>add-ins. I am quite surprised you are able to run it on Win10 + Excel 2016. What computer are you using? Did you do a 64 bit or 32 bit install of Office 2016? I tried both bit versions...

    Excel DDE Add-In

    RTD works fine for me on my Windows 7 laptop but not on my Windows 10 machine. Is it working for you on Windows 10? On my Windows 10 machine I have resorted to using OpenOffice Calc in order to stream TOS.

    Excel DDE Add-In

    RTD is a function that enables Excel to do DDE. It uses a COM addin that is no longer supported or functional in Windows 10.

    Excel DDE Add-In

    If it involves the excel RTD function then you are out of luck. That function does not work on a windows 10 machine period. I have tried to make it work on Windows 10 - I tried various versions of Excel from 2007 to 2016 and I tried the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Excel - no luck.

    Who wants to start a Hedge Fund?

    Not true. There are plenty of CTAs out there with minimums of 50k to 100k in their fund structure. Some of them might show you once a month snapshots on their fact sheets but they won't tell you jack if you demand to see daily positions.

    HF structure still has an advantage over managed accounts in that you can hide your edge from clients and prevent reverse engineering.

    Why Do Pairs go wrong?

    you should avoid holding the pair during earnings announcements and to a lesser extent ex-dividend days. Are you trend following the pairs or mean reversion?

    What are the general Win rate and RR of professional/Full Time traders?

    I think win rate is a useful statistic where the possible payoff and loss are known at the time of trade entry - like in certain option strategies, card games, sports betting, etc. For most other trading strategies this is not really a useful metric in my opinion when compared to things such...

    If I became an RIA....

    This is spot on. I am an RIA and am seeing some unfavorable trends over the recent 5 years. It is increasingly difficult to market your services where cold calling has become a thing of the past. Millennials do not even understand the paradigm of hiring a money manager - they are all about...

    The relationship between In GREAT inefficiency, risk and reward.

    Guys like Tim Sykes did it the hard way by capturing Alpha through active trading (and kudos to him for doing that). I'd say the vast majority of guys who make windfall profits do so by buying and holding some asset over a several year period. The money is made purely by exposure to some form...

    Corzine is back

    My first thought was that it's ridiculous for somebody at that age and net worth to begin a new venture. But it looks like he is doing it to give back to society which I commend "The fund, he said, will help him expand philanthropic efforts at a time when his personal fortune is a fraction of...

    Why the middle class is failing

    'Middle class' represents the median wealth level of a society. That median in the US is currently higher than the median of humanity as a whole. As global immigration and trade grows (inevitably) over time that median will gradually equalize around the globe. That can only mean that the current...

    Derivatives Straddled: Global Trend Towards Low Vol in All Instruments

    Very true. 15 years ago, 90% of what I was doing was trend/momentum. Since then it has evolved to where about 90% of my strategies are in some way countertrend. ie. looking for deviations from the mean, over/under valuations from fundamental fair value and also a host of other things picking up...
