My comments are not specific to the software you want to use but rather running additional software to accommodate trading software. I also like MAC operating systems, but you should run platforms on the native applications that they were meant to run on. An operating system that combines...

I am of the opinion that we will see many of Amazon's generic products over the years. They had access to every single sales analytics, and after killing the retail shops, the next target will be known brands.

Please read my post again. It has NOTHING to do with your location, but the nature of the operation of the brokers and it's registration.

I wish you well and glad some sort of a risk system in place to measure your performance.

You are asking for capital for a system that trades with unregistered brokers who do OTC transactions and probably internalize their entire flow. Put your own drachmas first.

@Howard, I can't comment on the effectiveness of Renko methods, but if you are looking for good software that has a lot of Renko Charts functionalities, I would use Sierrachart. They have a lot of functionalities around this feature. if you are looking for highly visually appealing charts, I...

I think that being motivated is very important, and it is a factor for success. However, trading also has the risk tolerance component (leverage), the ability to go through rough periods(drawdowns) for prolonged times without out any guarantee. You can be motivated and inspired by others, but...

Not all are following this trend. This is Apparel, and that is in decline. However, look at stores like BestBuy and Advance Auto Parts. You can combine Brick and Mortar with online strategically.

Great article. "The first marketing question for a hedge fund is always, “Why are you not the average hedge fund?” The right question to ask for every asset class.

I can not talk about hedge funds in blank statements or ones who are not. For example, you can have hedge funds with OTC derivatives with long term maturities, and then you can have day traders who use exchange only products. So "liquidity" is a relative term.

There are many ways to measure wealth, and one of them is liquidity. Assuming both anticipate bad times, I think that Simons will most likely be in a better position if he wants to go to cash and ride it out. Warren Buffet's investments are not only in stocks but actual land and factory...

Quite often I look at CTAs with long term track records and their performance. Quite often I am puzzled as to the level of assets under management (AUM) and the track record. Just puzzled. I see CTAs with good track records and very low AUM. I am not talking about guys with 2-3 years, but 5,10...

Exactly! Besides FB specialty is listening to me in my car through their app when I talk to my wife about a new sofa and then running ads on their feed. Zuckerberg should stick to his specialty.

Regulators would have to think on a broader scope than KYC/AML. For example, what would it mean if AMZN would want to have its own currency? Does this mean that every organization becomes a "Mini Fed" controlling the supply of their own currency?

You are correct. Luckily, Sierrachart has the ability to connect to multiple order routing, and each offers its own benefit.

Long Gilt Futures (UK Treasury).

FTSE 100 Index.

I changed the "trade" to "use" for convenience. Again, DTN IQ or Sierra Data are used for quotes and historical data, they do not have the ability to send orders to the exchange. You would need to hook up Sierra chart for the order routing to one of the data feeds I mentioned above. It is...

I like the DTNIQ data feed, and it is of high quality. However, it might be better for you to use Sierra data (White label of Barchart) because it would be easier for them to support it. It is fully integrated with their platform and they put a lot of development and effort into it. There maybe...

Most of our budget is spent on internal operations, software, and development.
