    Building your own program to live trade with IB?

    IB is a broker and it offers two things: realtime marketdata and executions. Want historical marketdata? Pay Reuters or Bloomberg (from $5000 / month for a basic terminal). Want a portfolio manager (position, PNL, risk)? There are countless provider, my former employer offers one starting at...

    SUPER BET. 40 271 calls expire Monday for 2 cents lots of steamrollers.

    I wish retail traders would stop renaming fundamentals and cause massive confusion in conversations and invent their own slightly modified definitions instead. Like in this case: "Here's a more or less perfect mistribution!" "Wut? A distribution, like in probability? Doesn't look like one..."...

    i have a solid system. i'm looking for help - collaboration to trade it.

    I would colaborate / use / sell your system if I could run tests to make sure you have an edge and manage your risk. But the "discretionary adjustments" part rules this out. Then again I've tested other guys strategies and found them to be no more than coin toss gambles. Excellent system if on...

    The things I learned

    But, truth is I'm 99.99% more likely one of the monkeys who will die without leaving a trace than the 0.00235788585% worth of extra edge of survival I'm getting from the advice of "stop drinking". That extra edge though works very well for the masters, God burn their soul. Before they increase...

    The things I learned

    That's a typical "survivorship bias" point of view. If you pick the 1 in 10,000 survivor of the "get over that trench and finish them!" strategy which runs this world, then yes, a CS 101 is all it takes to follow his exact steps under the exact, non-reproducible circumstances. That's a valid...

    Can you automate your option strategy?

    Putting it that way, sure, that's one thing I'm looking into. Again, it's not something that's difficult automating in the "send those orders now" way. It's into why the heck would you wanna do that in the first place. To your second question I'm a bit drunk, yes, and based on my recent lectures...

    Can you automate your option strategy?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias This freakin' domain only asks the winners how they did to be that successful and like those aircraft pilots during WW2, they only interview the ones who came back home. And further reinforce their wings (trading capital) since that's where they...

    Can you automate your option strategy?

    Automating my orders is the least of my problems. I already have programmed my own application for that. Main problem is finding those strategies that are worth trading at all and that's an immensely difficult problem, otherwise finance wouldn't throw so much money at it. I worked for a...

    Anyways, I might have figured out a solution to the "vicious circle" problem, which doesn't just affect myself but anyone who hasn't landed the dream job (like 99% of the people). The solution is better time management and just thought of something I haven't tried yet - if it works then those...

    Change "mental" to "drunk" and now you know. After a lot of alcohol, I've noticed (the next day) not just that I tend to become incoherent but also that facts start mixing with fantasy. I haven't done drugs but maybe this is sort of what gets referred as "trips"? For instance, what a...

    Historical Options Data

    >> For example $0.05 bid and $0.50 ask, while you may not be able to sell it for more than 0.10 Just subscribe to real time actual marketdata then within a limit of 100 symbols for $10. Last time I checked, the guys from historical option data gave you 10,000x more data for less than 10x more $$$.

    Well, challenging logic. As a result of that I've been beaten shitless by the Romanian Police, although I always believed in the mantra that The Military are the bad guys who can't tell black from white. And I'm as white as caucasianly possible.

    Well, I know. I've got guys from Paris attending my math classes, well not Ecole Polytechnique but still pretty sharp and I always get a dismayed look when I ask them about what they think are their career options and they obviously say "work in Paris" or stronger "work in financthiere in...

    I bet you wrote this just so you can say "self-fulfilling prophecy", that sounds so cool! I would have done it too in your place so I guess .. guilty as charged! That's as true as the protestant mentality of "it's the poor's fault for being poor". Along the strong belief lines of "if you've a...

    Historical Options Data

    I'm a subscriber to historicaloptiondata since about two years (EOD updates) and bought their historical data and can tell you that I'm satisfied. Their data isn't perfect so it helps if you're able to clean it up a little, and they don't have corporate actions (only splits and dividends), which...
