I bit the bullet and got some of these cards inside a PC for development alongside a good Nvidia card. Here are my thoughts: 1. Call of Duty 2 runs amazingly - if you are interested in doing any development on these cards do not buy COD2, because you will not get any work done. 2...

As another poster suggested, GPU cards have certain limitations. Unless you are doing complex matrix manipulation it probably is not worth it. From my experience you can usually optimize most algorithms to run faster on the main CPU than transfer the data to the GPU, process and send the data...

Optiver are not that clever.

Although I do not trade the bund outright, I hear people complaining about how it is owned by algos. I suspect that these algos (well, at least the most aggressive are using the order book flow to place false volume, moving their orders to the back of the queue to avoid being hit. In...

If you had any fundamental understanding of the markets you would realise why what you are saying is nonsense. If you are trading futures - use futures data, simple. There are numerous sources where you can get futures data for relatively cheap. If you really need quality data and you cannot...

First of all, programming knowledge is not essential for trading - there are ways of get whatever you want (within reason) working with Excel and other programs without resorting to coding. My background is in computer programming, but I rarely program any more - I spend more time managing data...

looks that way. smc has traded 184 contracts so far today. playing the spread for ticks will not work either - could jump on trends - but personally would not trade a spread with one leg so illiquid.

Sorry, I thought you meant the Russell 1000. Russell 2000 has good liquidity. SMC still has bad liquidity - around 150 to 600 volume day I believe.

liquidity is bad in both.

Beaker, I bet you spend all your life complaining - at least that is all I see on here. Get laid and get over it, move on. There are always edges, you just have to spend some time researching them. I'm sure if you found an edge in the market you would milk it - just as the algo guys are doing...

Like I said, I am not trying to prove myself - I already have to myself and that is all that counts. Even if I wanted to answer your question I could just do a search on the internet and find various things, such as: Nat gas vs Henry hub arb. EURUSD following S&P500 a few years back Arbing...

Why would I give away my research that has taken me hours to achieve. My P&L says it all - I don't need or want to prove anything to anyone. I am simply stating the fact that sitting and complaining does not achieve anything. Unless you research and work out new trading ideas you are destined...

waste of time.

Adapt or die. There are always opportunities in the markets for those who are willing to spend the time researching. HFT may take away one type of trade but usually introduce another in the process. Trading advances all the time - stop complaining and start researching - otherwise change...

I would not recommend trading the BUND BOBL spread - it isnt a particularly great spread to trade. Really though, if you want to trade spreads you should investigate how to calculate them for yourself - and when the may change for the particular spread. Otherwise, you will be shouting...

From a VERY reliable source: The volumes posted on their site were not correct. The exchange however are concerned with the percentage of the volume that the company accounts for.

All depends upon what the dollar does, however I would be selling around $72 and expecting a drop back down to $66 over next few weeks.

Why not just use Terminal Services? It is built into Windows XP Pro and is much faster than the competitors you have mentioned. Ok, if you are accessing your PC at home it will not be so easy. You could however, with relative ease get a static IP address and configure security and/or VPN to...

Get a Lenovo IBM Thinkpad T series. You can get the external docking station with a low profile pci-express card and run 4 screens off it. These laptops are robust, small, and you can put a lot of memory in them.

I wouldn't know, I'm an oil trader. Just trying to help some people out by letting them know first hand what Windows 2007 is really like from a trader perspective. I just hope some people have found my comments useful.
