Imma go with WD40, is your monitor connected properly and is the monitor working properly? If it's not the monitor, prolly the motherboard. Power surges tend to cause this type of problem, which makes me wonder, did you have the proper protection in place against power surges? Just run the...

Regarding the ATD matter, my apologies.. I misread your post. I am also not sure if ATD supports futures. As for the matter of whether or not dark pools for futures exist, here is a quote from REDIPlus' product page.. "Goldman Sachs offers a global, multi-asset suite of algorithms, which...

I realized that the fills would be a problem early on in the development phase. The system is still profitable without getting filled on those trades, and realistically, I could enter one tick earlier and get the guaranteed fill. However, this would increase my stop loss by 1 tick and decrease...

So here is the situation.. I am trading my system, which tells me at what price to enter and what what prices to exit. The issue is that very often, the entry prices are on the exact tick where the market reverses or moves to the system's predicted direction and I miss the fill. I do not want to...

I was looking forward to the meeting in foxwood's, but manhattan would work even better.

Sounds good to me

Cold, please do not take the in an offensive way - I am not saying it in that sense. You might have "mastered the markets", but based on some your posts here alone, I can tell that you, undoutably, still have a lot to learn. Check out the book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", by...

If you have the ability to figure out this business so well, you have what it takes to make a positive change in this world. If you have not already, try your hand at using your abilities to help others. "With great power comes great responsibility." There is always more to be done.

pick up a hobby - preferably one that you can do while trading. For example, I just starting playing the guitar a few months back. If my system is flat and the market conditions show no indication of a trade coming up soon, I'll just pick up the guitar and start playing. I would imagine that...

There really is no answer to this. There are traders out there that don't know a thing about game theory that make great returns on a consistent basis. At the same time, there are also many quants making great returns using their complex algorithms. It depends on how the trader is most effective...

First of all, I would like to thank you all for all the great feedback. It has been most helpful. I have been looking into optimizing the code before dropping the money on a new system, and it looks like I have found what's slowing it down. Although the system does run a large number of...

lol.. the picture was from a while back, but it's likely that I was on the phone with Domino's ordering pizza.

Me at the desk. The CRT on the right sorta throws off the look, but I use it for gaming. Until I can get my hands on a low latency LCD, I'll keep it around.

The system was written in C#, and to be honest, I am still relatively new to the language (have only been coding in it for about a month). I used to do a lot of programming in PHP for web development, which is why I managed to pick up on C# so quickly. I am not familiar with running code in a...

Thank you. I will try that and hopefully I can further streamline things. I'll check out the database link to see if that is the problem. Thank you. However, I still feel that a new computer would be a good investment at the moment and would like to continue looking further into that. It...

I am sure you have heard it before, but I still feel that it should be said again - you're risk exposure is too high. I don't risk more than 0.3% on any trade, which might be too conservative for many. From what I have learned, risking anything more than 1.5% per trade is negligent risk...

In terms of what calculations are run, the algorithm is in its empirical form and cannot be simplified any further. I am trying to make it run a bit faster, but code can only go so far before the hardware needs an upgrade.

I would go for option 1. Job security + the MBA does it for me. Also, I think that something like option 2 comes around more often than option 1 anyway.

I have been working on a system for some time now, and have finally gotten some of it coded. The only problem is that I cannot progress further into the development process because my computer cannot handle the amount of calculations it needs to make. My computer has a Pentium 4 3.06 ghz...

ah, my kinda market.
