yah, you're right. its completely reactionary right now with only a few basic indicators/variables that I think about consciously

I have mental stops because im still learning to feel the trends and setting up confidence levels within turns and trends. I really don't know what the rest of your terminoligy means re "failed breakout" etc. as for surprise news taking the trend the other way etc., i generally have a mental...

who gives a shit. what am i writing a dissertation? look, ill be gone from here after a day or two, but you, you will still be here -- bitter, accumulating pointless posts, and having not real function/output in society. Then you'll reach a point in life where you'll realize how shitty of an...

im sure u did loser.

dude htis guy is a hater!!! listen man, i don't really care to make people jelouse, and im definitely not trying to troll anyone into subscribing to something. im a novice trader, and I use the word trader loosely as i cringe. But for you to keep coming here and not add anything to the convo...

linear algebra. working on second degree in Applied math/CS which is known at my Uni as computational mathematics. finance sucks and is boring. i want to get into robotics!

TF? i dont get it. i trade the trend and confidence levels within the trend...

dude, im just messing around... but, i thought it was fair with all the hate on this thread. alright, be back in a few hrs... algebra exam!

yah, well it only needs to be complex when you're programming it, in which case you have to program what you are doing subconsciously. I don't go for the whole spread. I just go for about 70% distribution of the trend or about 2sigma. oh and boom bitches 1328.00 about an hr later just...

Thats correct, the avg. is more in between 100 - 200$/car, and I avg. about 4 contracts a day (1 contract = both sides right?). Commission is 2.45/side, so one contract executed is about 5 bucks commision. I setup a huge position at night and let it run also, so that usually brings in about...

right. phd from MIT is trolling the ET boards. im working on my undergrad, but if im on elittrader with a doctorate in the future, then remind me to kill myself.

ok so we're talking more an aptitude for CS in the realm of machine learning rather than pure maths. Probably more engineering logic than the actual algorithms themselves. Especially at high speeds. I just don't like it when people try to compare market modeling to solving poincare conjecture...

lets just say when they start incorporating AI techniques (which they may have already) retail traders are effed. luckily for us, the real engineers/scientists worth a damn don't care about finance...its all the phds and masters that either really needed the money, or were too stupid to get into...

??? im a applied math/CS major myself...is there something these HFT guys are capable of programming that your regular developer can't? I don't get it. C# or C++ should be more than enough (depending on broker's API) to create competative system, no? real question... I was planning on...

Exactly! and my buddy's script was for oil as well.

The system I helped program had only two key components and the script was simple and written in python. for arbitrage/hft you'de need C++ im sure. and yes you can be profitable...you just have to have a mathematically sound system...not that simple at all. But, for retail guys, you can...

thanks. later guys.

im being a dick? he said I was shitty trader...lol and, who knows, I might be, but let me figure it out. im just trying to figure out the diff between live and demo...didn't ask for his opinion as to wether i was on a hot-streak or not.

LOL @ emg... this guy is debbie downer if debbie downer was an idiot. i only just started trading, but i've worked with a buddy who needed his system programed and it was NOT worthy of being called programing... I dont know about HFT trading, but algorithmic trading is easy to program for...
