    I've got a secret

    Oh, I'd say there definitely is both. The thing is that those who have them will NEVER give them up until they no longer work and they can make more money selling the "secret" than trading it. So, the key is to focus on your TRADING and not look for that holy grail. Throughout history, many...

    Interested in spread/pair trading

    I've heard that AT Financial has good spreads (www.atfi.com). If your broker uses RediPlus, they now have fixed their spread indicator (as of the 2/21/02 version) and it provides the spread on whatever timeframe you choose.

    trade mornings only?

    I suggest you just trade mornings for a while. If you find this pattern to continue to be profitable, ramp up your size so you can ramp up your profits and then call it quites for the day at noon. Do you know how many people out there would love to have to work only 2-3 hours a day! Don't...

    RediPlus

    Redi ActiveX is a control that programmers use to interact with RediPlus from Excel and other programs. Ask your IT person at your firm for more details. To get your trades into a spreadsheet, go to your executions tab in your message window, press CTRL-A, then press CTRL-C, then go to your...

    RediPlus

    Redi DDE link does a pretty good job. If you want to get fancier, you can use the Redi ActiveX control. I think you might be able to get a little bit more info from it.

    Contracts

    I don't know, it sounds better than being locked into a contract as a trainee. Once you learn to trade on their nickel, you can go somewhere else with a better deal. What would be bad is if you were in a contract where you had to give them X% of your earnings for N years and you got the hang...

    Trading automation: Getting started

    First, what you ask for probably does not exist. There are a few apps out there for backtesting and if you want to stay with simple stuff, then you won't have to get into too complicated programming. But if you go with anything more than the canned systems that come with them, you'll find...

    User Names On Elitetrader (a fun thread)

    Do you know how hard it is to find anything with my first name (Cash) that isn't already taken? And believe me 99.9% of the time, it's not by someone that actually has that name as their real, given at birth first name! So somehow, I slipped into cashonly as my internet standard.

    New Nasdaq Fees (Echo vs. Bright)

    So you're saying size doesn't matter? :p I've seen traders that do size big enough to get a cap rebate be negative P&L at the end of the month and be up thousands with the cap rebate. And I've seen traders who do large size be up and down like yo-yo's day in and day out. And I've seen traders...

    EasyLanguage - are there limitations?

    In EL, I've been able to workaround most of the problems that I've encountered, but the most annoying one is that it can't directly handle backtesting a portfolio of symbols on intraday data (this is possible through workarounds or 3rd party apps). I've had to use a macro control program to get...

    New Nasdaq Fees (Echo vs. Bright)

    Unfortunately, it is true that it is harder to trade in size than it was 2 years ago. But it is not impossible. I know of numerous traders that are significantly over that 1% figure today and for some of them 1/4 to 1/3 of all their trades have a cap. It really all depends on an individual's...
