Look up "Index" in the Collective2 site and you'll see exactly what doesn't work. I think he showed what doesn't work with 3 distinct "systems". Can we stop quoting the trolls? TZ is on my ignore list and *still* his posts get through...

I *would like* to see the FED raise rates in the next meeting, or by the end of the year at the latest, however, I'm giving that a 60/40 chance of happening at this time.

I think your logic is slightly skewed towards whatever outcomes you desire from the current market. Is a rally ever not a "Liquidity Driven Rally"? The cash always has to go somewhere and right now cash is very cheap, why not throw that cheap cash at equities that are still historically (per...

Great - can you also show, in the thread itself, how many times that post has been bookmarked as well (maybe by percentage of thread viewers or something like that)? Thanks, Mike

Care to explain some of those reasons?

Well, my thinking is likely the popular one, inflation. The 30yr Bond/SP500 relationship leads me to believe so. Either the S&P has to give or the bond market has to give. There's only so much our government can do to keep the bond market from obeying basic supply/demand. If this bonds/cash...

ROTFLMAO!!!! For f--k's sake, you can't be serious!?! Backtest run?? This site is too much sometimes... pure comedy. Thank you for that, I needed a good laugh today :D

Sorry to be harsh, but you can't afford it (yet).

Most private/institutional investors want to see at minimum 2mil AUM. Many won't even bother unless you have 5mil AUM. The "track record" is in part how you managed to get to that 5mil mark. At this point, you need to get financing through friends and family. Start a fund (LLC) trading OPM and...

Yeah, some people love sleeping in a rocking bed, consider yourself lucky. As for me, well, I can't handle it. I'm a really light sleeper as it is and when I get tossed in my bed by a choppy sea, I can't fall asleep again. Per the book; I should have put "fun" in quotes (impling...

December is a good time to cross - the weather isn't too bad most of the time. I've done quite a bit of sailing on the west coast (CA mostly) and spent some time on both motor and sail boats off the western coast of Austrailia and all throughout western Indonesia (Nothern Sumatra). It was...

Not sure if this answers your question direcrtly but, a few years ago I was using a different platform where I was routing to NITE and NYSE frequently. As you maybe be aware, NITE was (a likely still is) one of the worst offenders with respect to slippage and held orders. They really utilize...

Yes.

Not at all. You said nothing about how you conduct yourself in society. Do you commit adultry? Do you rob others? Are you rude to others? Do you drive drunk? Assuming you live your life based on some set of values, how will some set of beliefs about god/the afterlife/whatever change the...

How is this relevant to the way in which you choose to conduct your life?

Any argument in support of a "God" or God-like figure is a crutch propping up a 2000 year old belief system that was created to explain the unexplainable events during that time such as: Infant death was the result of God's will. Earthquakes were the result of God's will. Plagues were...

So you're looking for a Prime Broker? New Edge is very good; I believe they provide capital introduction as well. Mike

Hi Neke, This comment sticks out to me: "Set of a chain of frenzied action which only served to deepen the loss." You went on tilt it seems. Nothing wrong with getting frustrated every once in while, as long as it doesn't reinforce bad habits per taking poor trades that "work out" by...

Smart ~ 0.0047 Intelligent ~ 0.00494 EDGX ~ 0.0042 ARCX ~ 0.00307 Those are the only ones I have enough trades on to warrant a good approximation. I took all my orders to ARCA once I saw the trend favoring that route. Mike

I've done the real-world slippage analysis across several different routes, compared those routes to each other as well as to IB's "smart" route and TradeStation's "intelligent" route. What I've found is that going to straight to ARCX beats everything else on average by 0.001-0.002/share. This...
