With a Caltech undergrad and MSFE from a decent school I think you will have no problem landing a job in a quant role. Just make sure your C/C++ skills are top quintile. As for part time vs full time - I think if you're a full time student you're more motivated/hungrier to land a jobin the...

averaging 20% per can be achieved. emphasis on *averaging*! one year can produce 35% then 5% then next, then 20% then next. you need to expect some lean years and some huge years. I don't think it's realistic to expect to produce a steady return each and every year like a straight...

I hope euro members drop out. More fx pairs, bonds, libor rates to trade! It was nice in the 1990's with so many more things around.

wow I just noticed the saxo logo. are they of ill repute? would the funds be held in custody at Citi? If that's the case, then I would imagine it's relatively safe i.e. if Citibank is guaranteeing my funds.

I bought dakota through my employer. The swarm concept is awesome and interesting but as far as using it to trade real money - I would not trust it. In the markets, evolving/adapting systems generally don't work over a long period. I bet a lot of evolving algorithms failed in the first week...

I've been trading with OANDA for several years but now I want to deploy more money in my strategy but kindof afraid to put a lot of money into OANDA since it's an independently run firm (planning to add in about $250K). I recently read about Citibank offering a retail product and I would feel...

If you work in NYC and don't want to live in the city try Westchester. I live in White Plains which is 30 minutes by Metro North into grand central. Lots of trees/hills/lakes up here.

I need to put in a couple of trades but it seems to be down! Anybody else experiencing the same thhing?

I've noticed issues with yahoo finance data from time to time. I've gone back and forth with them on a couple of occasions. They are usually pretty responsive. finance.google.com is a pretty good alternative when yahoo finance is mafunctioning.

Jim Rogers has made great predictions in the past but also some dumb ones. His foresight is somewhat mixed.

Grossman QFS?

I'd be long oil and short gold. If you look at the price of oil in real asset terms it's cheap (forget what it costs in USD - that's just paper). i.e. how many ounces of gold would you have to spend in order to buy a barrel of crude? I do think that the US is at a cyclical bottom in...

ok I went back to check out tickquest. It does look comprehensive. Thanks. I was looking for guidance.

I checked out the sponsor tickquest. I did not see that much info on their site. Last night I think I might have come up with a cheap and easy solution for autotrading my intraday FX models. I went into my Interactive Brokers account and downloaded their API package (did not cost...

thanks Danny! I will check out those leads.
