I am concerned about this decision: (1) http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/sep/09/german-judges-to-rule-on-euro-fate (2) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444273704577637551044588254.html What time is this decision due in terms of the eastern US? I'd like to not be in the...

I sometimes wish your product offerings weren't all or nothing. I'm not a futures trader, but I think I'd pay a smaller amount for a well-put-together course explaining all the basics. Got any books you could recommend?

Mine is, but it sent so many emails so quick the email server got choked up.

I like your site; I do not want the mods to flag your articles as spam or advertising. The content is very good. And although I am not a manual trader, I enjoy the manual-trader perspective spin you put on things. It's very beautifully written, illustrated. Please dismiss the criticism...

The high volume transactions that don't move the markets are just liquidity seeking algorithms looking to put on large positions over time without market impact. They're trying to avoid signaling risk.

What are your upside targets on GLD? I've been holding since ~$157/share and the original plan was to sell at $1700/oz, but this move looked so incredibly strong. I don't have some fancy quant model for the price of gold; I just parked my money there as a kind of default. Technical chart...

Frosty, just stop using NinjaTrader or any of these junk retail platforms. Write your own order management system. It will take you a few weeks to debug and work out the kinks, but it will pay off in the long run in ways you wouldn't imagine. Those retail platforms are almost for casual...

I know the historical reasons, vacations, etc. But do you guys just stop trading in August? I'm asking a forum of traders and possibly brokers. For brokers, what are your clients even saying? Do they just put off buying stocks until after August? Do people really just take vacations in...

I abandoned a career because of a craigslist post like that. I've now been trading for 8 years. Gotta start somewhere.

Equality no longer means equality, Maverick. It's just like diversity doesn't really mean diversity in the statistical variance sense, it just means increased density in terms of blacks and hispanics. The left in this country has sort of muddled the dialogue. Other examples: "undocumented...

I don't know why people are laughing at you. Props from me. Nice job.

Don't know if it helps you, but just write the thing from the ground up using C++. The parts you don't have, integrate with 3rd party utilities. The parts that you do have, make them flexible. Keep moving. Don't expect your initial setup to be great, just keep building a piece at a time, and...

There is a lot of asymmetry in the timing and strength of an up move vs. a down move, this is essentially a market truth. The exception being inverse ETFs and such.

I wouldn't mind such a forum. Just voicing support.

College was worth it when I was younger. I don't think it's worth it anymore. They say the networking at the top notch schools is worth something, but I guess I never made any really useful friends. I found that networking in the real world was much more valuable.

Yeah, I love the three monitor setup. I am not sure who made this stand, but it's one where there are giant screws to hold it on place. I put it on a heavy banquet table and put 1 26 inch monitor in the center and two LED 23 inch monitors on each side. I used to have 2 monitors on 1...

Anyone ever take their system from 3 to 6 monitors and just add a top row? I've got a three-monitor stand right now that is working well but I am wondering whether they sell stands that I can put behind the existing stand and let me put monitors above facing down so I can do 6 monitors on 1...

Order control, imo, is the among the most important parts of automated trading. A lot of guys think they can just use market orders and get a roughly decent execution and walk from there to riches. The best example I can think of of trader laziness is when people have to leg into positions...

. Post deleted [or attempted to anyway, "permission denied"] -- the problem was silly and not worth discussing. Dumb bug on my part.

This is the great mystery to me and the story I'm waiting for to leak out to the public. Someone's going to spill the beans. There are all these comments on the net about how the programmer was a dope, but bugs like this happen ALL THE TIME, but they're stepped on quickly and crushed...
