Another thing about hololens....apparently it's not as immersive as the videos suggest. It sounds like you have to be looking straight forward to see the holograms and they are only only projected onto two small lenses in the center...

I'm not so sure about this being "it", but I've got high hopes for the HoloLens as a general productivity enhancer (not to mention video games...)

They don't except accounts from people living in the U.S, and they get paid paid for routing there order flow to certain venues. Depending on the style of your trading, you may get very poor fills because of their routing. This is all in the "FAQ" section of their website, I don't have any...

Because when you sell at 3 when the ask is at 4, you become the best ask and get filled nearly immediately. If you try buying at 3 when the ask is four..you go to the back of the line

His work is also incredibly vauge and biased if you read between the lines. His data feed is great though!

Everything Obama has done via executive action has been in the category of selective enforcement. I.e he doesn't agree with immigration laws, so he chooses not to enforce them. He doesn't agree with the defensive marriage act, so he chooses not to enforce it. How can a tax be implemented via...

Even if Bernie somehow won.... he could NEVER get this tax passed. He will be the biggest do-nothing president ever. The socialism he proposes can't be done via executive action.

HFT Dead? That is a silly statement. Its just become more normal, so people don't talk about it as much. I think many of the Chicago prop shops who do "HFT" are still doing quite well.

If you lowered the minimum bet to 5%, I'd play this game. In 100e3 Monte Carlos, I doubled up every time (in the matlab code I pasted above).

Still a 2% chance I only survive 1 roll, and a 41% chance I go bust before I double up. I'll still sit this one out.

Coded up a quick matlab script (I think its right.... but it took 2 minutes, so maybe its not) to simulate the game. Set initial account size to $100, and the bet size to $100; and the profit target to $100; Set the Maximum number of rolls per monte carlo to (100k... outrageous) Basically...

I agree with what you are saying, but my calculation IS technically correct for the classic expectancy calc. It's just irrelevant since the expectancy relies on repeated trials (said that previously).

The expected value for the game is : E = (-1*.02 +0.03*0.98)*100 = +0.94% /per roll. Again, the expected value isn't really relevant since you may get wiped out by a single roll. I'd never bet my entire livelihood on a single roll.

I like the positive expectancy of the game, but the positive expectancy relies on repeated trials....if u get hit by the 2% tail on the first roll...than what? In no circumstance would I ever risk 100% to make 3%. I'd need some sort of hedge to bring my risk down to 10-20% for me to want to play

I don't see a definition of what a "AT Person" is. Would little old me, flipping 1 lots inter-day in an automated fashion be considered an "AT Person" ?

If you wanna play, you gotta pay : NxCore. A bit expensive, but high quality data. Unfortunately there are no free rides

You need to ditch IB. Try Advantage Futures, or Rithmic with Colo. They might be able to get you under 10ms. Do you have evidence that suggests you need that kind of speed?

Microsecond means 1 millionth of a second, abbreviated us (mu, not u). Millisecond is 1 thousandth of a second abbreviated ms. ...you aren't getting 100 microsecond latency. It was my understanding that all IB trades route through New York, even if they are destined for Globex. If that is...

cmon, man

The grocery store price hasn't seemed to change with the drop in cattle prices. Anyway, I dont want to argue with you. I think we are both right in this case. We have been in a drought for years, so I would have thought that is priced in... but maybe not. Like I said, I don't follow cattle...
