My heart sank when I installed .NET framework and saw it had added the necessity to press to log on and now my worst nightmare has come true. If I try to log in to my PC it immediately logs off me back off. So, How do I get back into my PC? The problem followed me cleaning...

The bit about him putting fade orders away from the market ahead of a release [rather than trying to catch the move] is a nice little clue as to how the game is actually played the other way round from the way we play it when we first start.................. Disclosure: For the benefit of...

Suggested Order Type Ok here a suggestion for a modification to the existing relative order that would make it useful for buying breakouts in stocks that generally trade with a large spread that would make the use of an ordinary stop limit unnatractive. What I suggest is that the relative...

[My experience is in Asian markets but] I have found it better to look at price action in early stage stocks across markets than relying on economic numbers. This is a much more reliable guide that will allow you to get in with a much better risk:reward. Look for markets where the listed stocks...

Suggested new columns for TWS 1) spread as % 2) spread in $ value 3) Last Trade in $ value as a column and V important as an alert - ideally on market not negotiated blocks if that can be differentiated. Rationale: Foreign stocks such as Tokyo that trade in a much wider range of...

email above bounced. What is the absolute shoestring minimum for setting up a fund for having a track record and legal structure as a "fund" for track record purposes. Also what are lowest minimum running fees. I want a pure skeleton. I might even go as far as alterring a standard document...

What I ideally want to do is be able to update about 1000 Yahoo symbols with one click while the coffee is brewing and also be able to feed realtime data from Yahoo (delayed) or IB when the markets open (but note I will be asleep before they close hence need for upadating each am). Need this for...

Corporates are now structured like MLM companies where they deliberately structure the payout structure so that you have a few people who make a very large amount of money and prove to the others that it can be done. It is deliberately structured that way. You only need one Porsche per X hundred...

Seems to me that the guys who actually are able to get funds to institutionally attractive critical mass are salespeople with years of client contact behind them, not traders. Just my observation. Institutional money seems more tolerent of mediocre performance than HNWI's and if you have...

CPtrader, also a good post and good point about it having to be the funds track record right from the start. Another pitfall.

Joe, great post, thanks. One thing not immediately apparent that came to light from my own digging is that size can be more important than performance i.e. if you have been around 3 years and have USD10m under management no one will look at you no matter if you grew that 10m from USD500k or...

Things to bear in mind is that as a CFA you can no longer: 1) Engage in any kind of "moral turpitude". 2) Engineer a mass defection to another employer i.e. take your team. Mass layoffs/firings by employers are just fine.

Starbucks connection will be subject to the same issues as all other connections. Corruption is not really something you deal with living as a tourist unless you get behind the wheel of a car. There are precise instructions for paying off traffic cops somewhere amongst the "weekly" on this...

From a local web board posted by someone identifying himself as an Expat IT manager: "The only connection that I know of that is consistently fast and reliable with no transparent proxies is a leased line 1mb. About 28k baht per month from KSC."

From the Taleb article cited above: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NT: I left Wall Street for the first time in 1991. I was obsessed with price formation. I couldn't understand from the screen how prices were determined. It took me six months to...

Some textbook patterns including the ones you mention are available for Tradestation, but in practice I have found it just as good if not better to set alerts for volume cues and then look at the chart..........................

One dimension not being homed in on is that as much as the action on the tape itself, the old tapereaders would have been looking at the tape to see which groups/pools were active i.e who as well as what.
