If you're a member of an llc it doesn't matter. Your k-1 (partnership) income would be considered US-source, so the accouting for Inland Revenue might get a bit difficult. If you liked trading with whichever llc you joined, you could trade remotely from anywhere in the world. Regards, Laz

It really goes both ways, from my personal experience. Really, the quality of the product comes down to how well onshore customers define their requirements, and how much experience they have with working with distributed teams. For a firm like microsoft, the scale of its projects easily...

I just had a similar experience with a neural net I developed for ES on 1min bars. The net's about breakeven over the long run (400+ trades, 1 month of out-of-sample data), and it has really good periods, followed by some not-so-good periods. Anyway, when I tested the system with 13min...

I saw that on /. today.. I wonder if any institutional folks here can tell us if x86 SlowLartis is being used in their envrionments.. I do know that Bloomberg supports Solaris 7, but not on intel..

I'm with you on that one.. The recent AIG announcement is just the tip of the iceberg.

The enormous spec position (245k contracts) is mostly small and overleveraged. This change gives the institutional shorts a chance to cover. Don't even ask why GC only trades until 13:30..

And... 4. I just read "Front-Running the ESF for Fun and Profit", and it works!!!

I had to sit on the bid for 17k jpn.v for 3 days to get the order completed. Might have been faster, but I don't think Schwab will iceberg the orders.. (It gets routed through nasdaq, the shows up somewhere in the ether where intermarket trades happen). It's not just penny stocks either...

My experience has been that, with the CS degree it is easier to get in the door some places. The corollary is that the CS degs are the first to go when the layoffs come around, unless they have excellent communication skills. While I'll agree that there are a _LOT_ of crappy programmers...

My flashing IB alert button, when clicked, reveals that GLOBEX has broken all trades between 4:00 and 4:15pm est.

I just wrote puts on SOUL on HADEX strike: $2MM prem: $666. Now all I have to do is behave saintly to keep them OTM.. --laz HADEX: HADes Evil eXchange

Appiam makes a pcmia card, so most laptops can do three screens.. I guess you could put a second appian in if your nic is built into the laptop.

Hey man, hand me those MMM's..

Despite the obnoxiousness of capital loss restrictions, the stationary AMT thresholds are even worse.

There are a lot of reasons for that.. It's not really a NN problem, its how they're used, what data they're fed, avoiding overoptimization, etc, ensuring that your results 'make sense' (with walkforwards, etc) In my own NN research, I get much better results trying to make my nets as stupid...

I don't think there are that many inefficiencies left lying around to be exploited.. One would still be able to make directional trades

neuroshell + emmetropia's MTI can do this.. at $2000 + $345, it may be overkill for what you're trying to do.

nitro: Are you using the std version of Mathematica, or do you have one of the finance add-ons too..

Why on earth would someone who doesn't take 'tips' for trading, look to be tipped wrt long-term investment? . I agree.. he's totally awesome. He also faces a completely different set of challenges than I do, esp. dealing in size.. [/b] I doubt very many.. One of the problems is size (as...

Hey, that was Jan-June 2001.. 500% (in the shares) in 2 years is not that shabby. I'm not arguing about goldbugs as a class-- the people who are really into silver are even worse. Just trying to show that there were good reasons to invest when I did, that didn't have anything to do with...
