As someone who has done some autotrading with C2 I am qualified to answer these questions. There are multiple avenues for autotrading with C2. One option is TradeBullet, a piece of software that runs on your PC that acts as a conduit between your C2 subscription and your brokerage account...

Here's the C2 thread in which this was extensively discussed: http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/board.mpl?want=listmsgs&boardid=9323885&threadhilite=1838

The concept of net worth is apparently lost on some people.

Really? I never knew that. If they don't have any special powers or knowledge then what's in it for them to always quote a bid/ask? Seems like extra risk without any extra reward.

Great post piezoe. The one thing that SS needs IMO is automatic adjusting features (ex: increasing retirement age as life expectancy increases) so that individual politicians don't need to summon the fortitude to step up and touch the 3rd rail (e.g. sponsor legislation to push out the...

Why did you quote his entire post? The mods deleted his post but now it lives on in your quoted reply, ironic. Maybe you should ask them to delete your post as well now.

That has been my experience as well (Dell OEM installed under VMWare will deactivate because the VMWare BIOS doesn't match what the Dell OEM XP software expects)

You understand that ES is cash settled right? Arbitrage will cause the convergence.

[/B]I disagree that the average ET post is equally reliable as the average Wiki article. Wiki tends to be self moderating and article vandalism is dealt with. Contrast that to ET where raving lunatics go on for years without ever being put in check as long as they arent obscene. Bottom...

You guys should drop the Martha case altogether as an example. The fact is that they didn't prosecute her for insider trading - that doesn't prove either case (whether what she did was insider trading or not) Not being prosecuted for something doesn't make you innocent of it. And being...

Why 836, wouldn't it have to break its recently previous highs?

I guess I just dont see how this will help you in the long run. As you point out, you might go quite a while writing OTM options before the first fat tail event wipes out your many small gains in the IRA (and possibly more depending on how soon into the process it happens) but it is pretty...

No, I'm not saying it has a 50-50 chance of going ITM, I'm saying if you do it enough times both accounts will break even (minus commission costs and spreads) assuming that the options are correctly priced. Given an option that is cheap and is a long-shot, say a 10% chance that it will be...

I love it - lets combine two of the most contentious issues into one mega thread: Does TA really work and are futures zero-sum. This thread should last for months!

I must be missing something - why are the odds that the IRA account will profit and the non-IRA account holding the opposite position will lose an equal amt of money anything other then 50-50 given enough time? Asked another way, if you are sure that the IRA account will be profitable over...

Well backtested doesnt really prove anything - the only thing that matters is forward testing. You are right though I was a little fast and loose there, I should have said no system stands up to public scrutiny because the act of making it public will universally destroy whatever edge it had...

That's a narrow interpretation of "TA", to include the specific calculation of indicators but not including how to apply those indicators in an actual trading system. If you include mechanical trading rules in the field of TA, e.g. buy when the price crosses above the MA, sell when it falls...

If there was actually a mechanical TA system that was proven to have a significant edge in an academic study you can be sure that it would stop working shortly thereafter (once it became widely known/published) People that have a working mechanical TA systems have no motivation to share them...

That's great but its not enough - you actually need to post something about options and in that dept you are sorely lacking [B] Tip #77 - you don't need to post to say that you have no answer. Simply not answering is sufficient. We are not hanging on every word you say. You are posting...
