    Poised to pop *again*......SPX edition.

    Hank fucking Paulson - what else needs to be said? The whole crisis was a criminal smash and grab and it worked out quite well for them.

    Poised to pop *again*......SPX edition.

    We'd undoubtedly be better off. As of now, growth exported from the future into the present, can kicked down the road, and real growth slow if any.

    The S&P 500 has topped at 2430 on 6/1/17

    If you look at the correlation between NVDA, AMD, and $NYXBT we see an increase in correlation: Now, correlation is not causation nor is coincidental correlation necessarily meaningful. But I wouldn't just ignore the possibility of dumb money pouring into what they perceive to be companies...

    Poised to pop *again*......SPX edition.

    "Blah blah blah, inflation and growth not as strong as expected, continue to monitor changes, etc." SPX++ from there. It'd be even more awesome if they didn't actually hike, completely throwing everything off expectation wise.

    Australian housing bubble thread

    SLF would probably have some pretty significant correlation too.

    The ACD Method

    More like flash crashiness is back. Until VIX>20, there's no significant / constructive vol IMO.

    Seeking specifics on SVXY construction

    Not SVXY specifically, but VXX - however it should be similar: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/symbol-names-for-the-two-nearest-futures-vxx.309552/#post-4457659

    This is how bad the IB Margin calculator and Support are

    This is the complete opposite of how people should approach these products. SPY, SPX <= SEC regulated, equity-exchange-run non-SPAN products trading non 24/5. ES <= CTFC regulated, future-exchange-run SPAN products trading pretty much 24/5. Why someone would want to trade the equity products...

    Does data/quote speed matter for ETF scalping or only for Futures scalping?

    Then you should be fine with your current solution. The issue with IB is the tick summarization not the speed.

    Why is this UDP unicast not being received by the client?

    The lack of a pure C implementation and generally non-POSIX like feel of this repo says everything about how robust I'd expect it to be. Last I checked on this simply finding a formal spec for the protocol and server side behavior was a hassle (when it most certainly shouldn't be) and this is...

    The S&P 500 has topped at 2430 on 6/1/17

    Panic on bad news is not going to result in a sustained and long term sell off unless said bad news is related to something critically fundamental to the economy or future earnings. The trajectory one should want is more rallying, excuses being made on why we should be rallying and "things are...

    Is Robinhood good?

    They screw you on margin rates and sell their flows to middlemen. No free lunch.

    The S&P 500 has topped at 2430 on 6/1/17

    Oh I don't think anyone in here (I'd hope?) thinks we're actually rallying on some kind of fundamental greatness in the economy or future growth. We all know it's going to shit itself at some point. Where you're getting friction from is in attempting to pick an exact top when the market tone...

    The S&P 500 has topped at 2430 on 6/1/17

    "This has never happened before so I'm just gonna go ahead and bet on it happening - but rather than use something with actual convexity that would really pay off - i'll just short it outright." There is dysfunction guiding this trade. Just go with the fucking flow.

    Why is this UDP unicast not being received by the client?

    Your problem is this: $ strace -f ./talker localhost foo [..] recvmsg(3, {msg_name={sa_family=AF_NETLINK, nl_pid=0, nl_groups=00000000}, msg_namelen=12, msg_iov=[{iov_base=[{{len=20, type=NLMSG_DONE, flags=NLM_F_MULTI, seq=1496375815, pid=14048}, "\0\0\0\0"}, {{len=1, type=0x14 /* NLMSG_...

    US housing prices are rising twice as fast as wages

    Everyone keeps talking about supply and all that other bullshit. It's another fed created bubble, folks.

    Hang Seng Futures Data

    Without an eSignal account? I seriously doubt that given that it'll need to use the eSignal data manager.
