    Cloud Computing for traders?

    1. Virtual Private Server, yes 2. Yes. It's better because you need your local PC only to control your VPS. If your internet is down, your VPS is still running and the order still live. VPS is running 24/7, so you can have your orders there, collect your own data, backtest etc. without having...

    Cloud Computing for traders?

    You're the first guy here on ET to ask this, congratulations :) I do not understand why anyone would still trade via local machine when you can rent a VPS for a couple of bucks a month and have 99,99% uptime, stable internet, no need for UPS and so forth. You don't need expensive colocation...

    Does a strategy become less effective or more effective once brought public?

    To be honest, if you have to call your competition in order to discuss positions, you are probably a shitty hedge fund. I'm not an idiot, I know that it is done and that it is illegal. But it doesn't improve your returns. When it comes to FX and Libor, they fixed and manipulated one price in...

    Does a strategy become less effective or more effective once brought public?

    No they don't and no you did not. "Working together" is for the sheep who push the stock higher so the initiator can unload. Hedgefunds 100% do not work together since pumping a stock as a pool is illegal price manipulation which can easily be proven via the mandatory audit trail

    Does a strategy become less effective or more effective once brought public?

    I understand that there is this common misconception about strategies working better if everyone used them. In the end, when we work together and everyone buys a certain stock, then there is no other outcome than a big rally in the stock, right? Now shift your perspective a little. From...

    Inside The Cryptocurrency Revolution | VICE on HBO

    Dozu, I'm not talking to you. You have no concept of an educated discussion. You have an opinion that is undermined with more opinion. You don't trade, you don't research, why are you even here? I already told you that I don't invest in crypto, yet still you keep babbling over the tinfoil hat...

    Inside The Cryptocurrency Revolution | VICE on HBO

    @johnarb: thanks for posting this. Don't get tilted by this troll dozu. He doesn't even trade and cannot understand the difference between tokens and coins. His opinion on the subject is worth zero. Back to topic. From 2020, crypto custody is officially regulated and licensed in Germany...

    Trade small account with small drawdowns to find investors

    @lukas: just go ahead, trade for the track reckord. Even if you don't get your 3m $ AUM, you have a positive track record. Get licensed, trade other peoples money one way or the other. How else would you go about a career in trading? Don't listen to dozu, that advice is bollocks. Nobody...

    China to launch bank backed digital currency

    Wait 5 years and every country will have adopted some form of e - cash based on blockchain tech. It's just too good of a surveillance tool to ignore it. Imagine every transaction being saved on a ledger that the government can control. Every citizen will have to register a signle key pair like...

    If you had to choose between BTC and Gold

    oh...I understand. Technical analysis doesn't do much here, right?

    If you had to choose between BTC and Gold

    The real question is: When you believe that BTC will go the way of the tulpis, why are you on the sidelines instead of having a big ass short position on?

    The biggest cryptocurrency scams of 2019/$4.26 billion total

    And yes, it's world wide. I have to correct that. Well, ok then, we would have to measure the amount of money lost to frauds in USD...just to be fair :D And by the way: using a 2012 statistic? If that's how you do research, I hope you don't trade...

    CFA/Coding/Chinese/DataScience?

    Well, for trading it's obviously coding. Basic Python can be learned in a couple of weeks. But treat it as a side gig and don't compromise. I also had to make that choice. For my trading coding is probably even more essential and that's why I decided against it. I'll never be good enough to...

    CFA/Coding/Chinese/DataScience?

    Honestly, I would do it all over again. Meaning, trade, lose money, trade, lose money, trade, lose money, trade, don't lose as much money, trade, break even, trade, make a little, trade, make a nice living, trade, make so much that you don't even care about it anymore. If you want to trade...
