Any other news on this firm? Particularly MaverickFX? They seem to be similar to topsteptrader for futures, which means they are a glorified chat room. Yet they take customer deposits of $5k under the old equity shop prop model and then make you a class b member and issue a K1. But they're...

Good traders will always be able to put up some capital as they are *successful". You trade under these conditions until mgmt is comfortable with your style of trading. Then you can start withdrawing capital which hopefully soon will exceed the initial amount your put up. Then they hold onto...

Sshhh, don't give this one away! You need to add a (d) to this list. (d) the dogs have to be ugly and slow-- suggests multi-generational wealth and proximity to the park. Back in the day my buddy and I used to dog-walk these two ridiculously old bull-dogs from our friend's mother's 5th...

There are plenty of pro firms out there (especially NY or Chicago) that offer education for free if you can put up a little money to cover your (potential) losses. The key tho is the following: 1. Finding a market that gives you the greatest opportunity to succeed. IMO, forget stocks...

Because "appreciating the most in 18 years to an all-time high" equates to the daily percentage gain/loss in Aussie dollar. The answer is the the peg to the US dollar weakens their currency as the Dollar falls. Some say that RMB is undervalued by 30%, I'd bet its closer to 100%. Why the...

I had many problems with Ninja 7 and running certain programs, so now I continue to run Ninja 6.5 but I set up a windows virtual PC to run in XP mode. I allocated 3 GB of memory per instance and the thing runs way faster than my old XP box! Of courses with ninja canning 6.5 in the upcoming...

I have a system that auto trades forex and breaks up the trades by currency pair. The system runs 3 different ways on each pair with varying degrees of results. I want to be able to run metrics on each individual pair traded and then on the portfolio in general. My question is: what...

Thank you all for replies and suggestions. I have the code written and it black-boxed so that I am broker/platform agnostic. I don't need to optimize or anything like that, just pump in my historical data and run the metrics. I've seen what Ninja has and its a bit remedial, but I don't want...

What reports do I need this system to generate to properly show strategy results? Does anyone know of any examples out there I could model after? I haven't found anything that is "standard". Thx.

Rackspace getting hit too. I hope they have a 30-foot moat around this facility, with archer turrets and an observation tower as me thinks having all servers co-loco'd in 1 place could invite those looking to return to the stone age to attack the castle. Watch for Aurora, IL to turn into...

I'd take Groucho in a NY minute over the hacks advising the community organizer in chief.

Krugman- a childless closet queen who has no problem kicking the can down the road to future generations that he'll never have. As he goes through his rainman routine in his million dollar home, he conveniently fails to recognize that the rich aren't against higher taxes, the rich are against...

Its called "shading" the market.

What about trading forex through lightspeed? Which brokers use it as a platform?

It's called an overlay, and the only way I bet the horses. However, 8 to 17 is the clsoe to the same as 4 to 8, which happens quite often. If you start with a longshot to begin with, then as you've rightly pointed out you won't win with a high frequency. But if you start with a 2nd or 3rd...

Correlations work great.... until they don't.

Transcript from Paul Ryan at the "bipartisan" health care summit: The authors of the overhauls before us have worked tirelessly to load the legislation with gimmicks and tricks to game the cost estimates and fulfill the President’s deficit pledge. The Majority Leader said the bill...

I actually use the bottom one... called forex system selector (FSS) thru fxcm. It has been quite successful for me but not for teh reasons you may think. The greatest feature about the FSS is that it allows you to do the OPPOSITE of what the system signals! How many times have you wanted...

Couldn't one acquire dual citizenship in a place that has "reduced taxes", then set up a corp with the foreign passport in that country, and pay themselves as employee a nominal amount for US taxes? I'm thinking a place like Ireland, where if you had a gradnparent or great grandparent born...

Hey I just found this data and was wondering if anyone has used it to backtest? Its free and sometimes you "get waht you pay for". I'd hate to spend the hours to download if its rubbish. Anyone? http://ratedata.gaincapital.com/
