Proprietary cheating

The function of business school professors nowadays is to explain why anything that Wall St and corrporations does is of benefit to society. e.g. if a company pollutes a river it benefitted the ecosystem because it killed fish that were eating snails etc Business school professors are just...

My understanding is that it has to be a certain high spec USB drive, just any old thumb drive won't work - seem to remember the type costing $100+ for $GB

Thanks. Post appreciated.

I quite simply go out of my way to avoid being in places or situations where I will meet the kind of people who don't know what their opinion is until they have had it given to them by the media.

Interesting about the low latency - describes me - Science Graduate. I identify with the defining symptons of ADD, Aspergers, SAD, Bipolar 2. Some defining symptons of OCD + Bipolar 2 were removed by the Steps (for which I am qualified). All part of the same thing IMHO. I also found...

Just out of curiosity are there any prop shops that don't rely on desk fees, commissions and training course fees to pay their costs. Seems to me that is the industry model, and whether a trader makes it or fails is immaterial (so long as he churns through his deposit in commissions). There will...

Highlighting a foreign firm to deflect attention from the fact that GS and MS are the biggest players in the oil market. There needs to be an investigation of the spike in oil after these two were given access to fed funds following a 9pm meeting.

CANSLIM is a system for selling books IMO. All CANSLIM winning stocks having the same characteristics can be explained by data mining. Think of all the stocks which met CANSLIM criteria but did not go up and the stopout costs on those which fitted CANSLIM but did not go up. I could...

If I remember rightly Elliot was an accountant who had a prolonged illness that caused him to be bed ridden and studied charts as a way to pass the time. Under those conditions you would probbly also see that moving average crossovers worked as did all indicators. Just sell at RSI at 80 and...

Bernanke is an academic buffoon and a tool who was fiddling with his models while the markets burned. It took a game show host (Cramer) to wake him up, and he then said it was "contained". He is such a tool he probably thought he would be making the decisions as Fed Chairman. As for the...

Most rich people use other people's money. Option payoff profile, you can walk away and start again. Not so easy when the bank takes your house. Even the ig Pit traders had an option payoff profile in the accounts they solicited. Ever wonder why traders who trade 100's/1000's of contracts...

A friend of mine who is a successful trader sent a manual he wrote to a publisher. She returned it and said that she would publish it if he changed some things so that it fitted the conventional wisdom. I don't doubt that she knows her business (publishing what sells). There is a lesson here.

Maxpi, appreciate your suggestions, however, without wishing to sound ungrateful for your help............. 1) You cannot write a code solution to have a realtime alert alert only once. Global variable solutions such as Alertonce top out at a few hundred symbols alerts and then stop...

Maxpi/anyone, can you elabrate on this "but I don't like where they are going with their DRM policy" I am also thinking of making the switch to multicharts as I am unable to overcome 2 shortcomings of TS2k 1) You cannot write a code solution to have a realtime alert alert only once. Global...

Hmmm, third post and you are posting a link and a cardinal rule for success plus answers. If you are not a shill, ask yourself, does Bollinger trade or make his money from books/CDROM/Seminar/website etc?

Thanks Nitro, this is the kind of input I come to ET in the hope of still finding, and occasionally do.

Seems that the "trading" profit reported by the I-Banks is simply regulator/Market sanctioned cheating allowing transfer of funds from us to them. Their "trading" revenues represent our collective losses. I am not railing about high frequency algos or computing power as that would be railing...

As a European I will confoirm that I have absolutely no faith in the US SEC. They are worse than a joke, they are run by the banks for the banks.

Hi Sys, Thanks for your input. Will look into what you suggest. You are right regarding 200 symbols, in fact with 3 levels of bid/ask + last price + last size it would probably go down to 125. I say would probably because the number of stocks that I can watch is so small I decided to hold...
