Doesn't make sense. Doesn't matter where the border is. We're looking for "nice equity curve" before and after the border regardless of the border's location.

If we test a bunch of strategies on data segment 1 and then data segment 2 and then keep the ones that do well on both.......... Isn't that the same as testing them on segment 3 which is a combination of 1 and 2 and keeping "the good ones"? We'll arrive to the same choice of strats in both...

Why are you here hanging out with retail traders?

Silly question. 95% don't make money.

Good one. I promise to stand on my hands for at least 2 mins if he does it.

Wrong. VIX is implied, not realized volatility.

Good luck implementing all these awesome methods. Don't be disappointed after you wasted a lot more of your time discovering they don't work. You've already wasted two years of your life. If you want to waste more - "explore" these wonderful methods so graciously shared with you in this thread...

This is pretty good. I learned a lot.

No my turn because I generally agree with what you said. The Bulgarian case is interesting. I applaud the fact that they weren't pussies and sued. I think what screwed them is getting the wife to trade after the husband was banned, not the actual latency arbitrage. I think if the ruling was made...

Yeah, if someone possesses a modicum of intelligence it's not hard to see how hilariously idiotic, schizophrenic and utterly useless these pieces of... yeah advice are. I mean half the responses are not even coherent. The other half it's obvious the poster is schizophrenic. You shouldn't be...

Don't feel bad. Many waste 10, 20 or more years :) Not surprisingly. I would rephrase that to "one guy SAID he blablabla". Catch my drift? ;) Realize that no one's really motivated to help you here. Generally the ones responding do so out of the desire of "schooling" someone not because...

Another fair point. OTC as opposed to exchange? If that's what you mean would say trading let's say FX futures eliminates the "bucketshop risks" we're facing OTC? That depends on who the counterparty is and how legit they are. IB sold their stock orderflow to Timberhill (who they owned 100%)...

Fair point. Especially given that interbank ECNs don't deal in quantities less than 1 full lot. But in a sense there is always a counterparty trading "against you". Be that BNP Paribas trading desk or FXCM's. So the question becomes where do you get the lowest execution costs? Have you noticed...

Bahahahaha. Good one. What will happen first? This? Or hell freezing over?

OK, let's all pretend the above makes any sense ;)

speedo is more of a feel kind of guy :)

No bucketshops. Latency, spreads, commissions, rebates matter. No restrictions on scalping. Will consider institutional level platforms as well.

Not really. It's possible that Klaiman is not a scammer but his refusal to provide audited statements and subsequent laughable excuses as to why he won't do it are a big red flag for me. But hey, maybe not for you. In that case, I suggest you give him your money. Hey the returns he's showing on...
