    A Day in the Life of a Consistently Profitable Trader

    I think as an older trader you have better chances becasue you have a better respect for risk management. At the same time more appreciation for life. As a young trader you think you have all the time in the world. We were young and stupid once.

    Anvil problems this morning?

    Assent tech support was notified about the complaint on ET. I will not mention any names of who notified Assent or who responded. So do not ask me ... The response was basically that competitors bash themselves out on forums and they will not participate on such tactics.

    C++ Compilers.

    Definetly use C++ (I use VC++) .. I did build a historical analyzer in C# (NET) but at the end rewrote it all in C++. Much..Much faster.... The larger cache, CPU memory will help you accordingly but much of your "performance" will have to do how optimized/multithreaded you write your code...
