    Good colocation facaility with windows server for retail trader?

    +1 If you really want to shave the milliseconds, chances are you can colo with your broker or they can give you a referral. I looked at Amazon AWS, yes it is about 21ms, but my VPS is just a couple miles away from my broker and I typically get 2-3ms for about the same price.

    Good colocation facaility with windows server for retail trader?

    My package is Windows Server 2008, dual core 2.8Ghz, 2GB RAM and everything runs as expected within those specs (including intensive stuff like backtesting). That might not be the case with all providers if they are overselling. For security, in my case it is hands-off, I have my own...

    Good colocation facaility with windows server for retail trader?

    I was shopping around for a VPS and found AutomatedVPS, voxel.net, Enotch, NYNOC, clubvps, hostpolar, vpsspeed and many others in downtown New York. Some have negative reviews that they were unreliable .... one bad review is enough to scare me away. For AutomatedVPS and voxel.net, I only...

    Is it advisable to do this?

    Even with the biggest and most stable companies .... you could lose half your money and be waiting for the market to recover. Like happened in 2008. But I'm sure you realize this :D

    margin requirements on uncovered calls

    Hmm I have a similar question. I guess this is a credit call spread. Buy 10 Jan 2012 $60 calls Sell 10 Jun 2011 $60 calls I put it into http://www.optionsprofitcalculator.com and the max loss is 4050. So quite simply the margin will be the max loss, 4050? I tried putting it into IB...

    SILVER INVESTORS: Take off your Tin Foil Hats!

    Tulving still has some at around a buck over spot and free overnight shipping. Yesterday everything was in stock, today some things are sold out .... If you pay $3 over spot you don't know how to do a google search and some due diligence.

    putting all my efforts

    Be warned that programming trendlines is a tricky thing .... hard to get the kind of result you want. It seems like it will be almost impossible for you to come out ahead paying 600/month for an office. But anyway, good luck.

    The Questions HFT Nerds can NEVER answer

    Point 1 is silly. In the HFT world, you can't make stuff up, you actually monitor latency. I am not really high frequency but I know my latency to nasdaq, BATS, and GLOBEX. It is stable and darn fast .... cold hard numbers. Even during the flash crash, yeah NYSE was clogged up but BATS and...
