    DryShips (DRYS) Declares $2.5M Quarterly Dividend

    https://www.streetinsider.com/Corporate+News/DryShips+(DRYS)+Declares+$2.5M+Quarterly+Dividend/12769427.html Clearly the company is in such good shape it makes sense for them to be issuing dividends. DRYS rallied in the post-market off this news. Is there where it begins it's ascent back to all...

    Wondering if this is possible (Yahoo API)

    I was able to get close to real time quotes in GoogleSheets, but it's really, really slow. Sorting takes forever.

    Wondering if this is possible (Yahoo API)

    I got an idea. I just need the last price quote every minute (no more than 1 minute delay)-preferably with a time stamp. However, the real-time day high/low would be nice.

    Wondering if this is possible (Yahoo API)

    A 1-minute delay is acceptable. However, 15-20 minute delays are too slow.

    Wondering if this is possible (Yahoo API)

    I'm a complete amateur coder. I followed a tutorial online to get quotes in VBA for this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1062712/Yahoo%20data%20download.htm Unfortunately the real-time data doesn't work though. Even I can't get intraday bar like I hope to: last price, daily high, daily...

    Wondering if this is possible (Yahoo API)

    On their website it's in real time. Can an API be created to retrieve that data though?

    Wondering if this is possible (Yahoo API)

    Hello, I'm thinking of building an API with Yahoo Finance data and Excel. I've never done this before so I want to know if this is even possible to do for free before I waste my time. 1. I want a screener for several thousand symbols (all stocks on NYSE/NASDAQ/AMEX >$1) 2. I want it to refresh...

    Prop firms with rates at or under .30/1000

    It should be about a million a day, so figure around 20 million.

    Prop firms with rates at or under .30/1000

    WTS offered those rates before they close up. So would I have to pitch to a top firm like Jane Street or one of the elite HFT firms?

    Prop firms with rates at or under .30/1000

    I'm talking about clearing only. Not exchange/SEC fees. What really matters is the total cost of the trade (in and out). Ideally this total would average under 3/10th of a cent for each share traded based on smart order routing. I'm not sure that the trades would have an expected value of even...

    Prop firms with rates at or under .30/1000

    Do these exist anymore? I have a scalping strategy I've developed through the years, but it requires very low rates. It's low risk, but uses high volume and would probably be unprofitable at the current standard prop firm rates of 3/1000. I have not been able to test it, because of the $25,000...

    Are e-cigarettes the future of big nicotine or will regular cigarettes continue to dominate?

    Of course that won't happen in large numbers. I'm thinking of the older population that smokes. Will they trade their traditional cigarettes for e-cigarettes in large numbers or will most of them continue to smoke rather than vape? While cigarette smoking is at record lows, some kids are still...

    Are e-cigarettes the future of big nicotine or will regular cigarettes continue to dominate?

    E-cigarettes are all the rage in middle and high schools. Data even shows that their use has surpassed traditional tobacco. I'm a pretty boring guy, never smoked or vaped anything in my life, but I don't ignore the trends of society. Will vaping work like Facebook in that younger people are the...

    Updated Prop Firms for 2016

    Just out of curiosity, are there any prop firms that charge less than .50/1000 in 2016? Or are those days long gone now? I used to pay .30/1000 back in the glory days of 2012 and I thought that was high trying to scalp for pennies.

    Sorry, I'm not sure who's a good broker for opening a day trading account with these days. They all seem to charge very high commissions.

    How do I break in with a legit prop firm?

    Thanks for all the replies. Within days after creating this thread a firm responded to me. I don't think they saw this, because they never brought it up. I ended up interviewing with them and getting an offer.

    How do I break in with a legit prop firm?

    I'm honest playing poker in that I'm playing to take your money, and I will mix up my betting accordingly. I'm not going to tell them what I have. I'm not sure what you mean about honesty, but I'm not going to start lying in interviews. The mirroring part is something I'll consider. However, I'm...

    How do I break in with a legit prop firm?

    I'd appreciate that, thanks. How do you want to do it? Over the phone? Skype?

    How do I break in with a legit prop firm?

    Noted, but I'm not one of those who believes I'm going to hit the jackpot. I either risk very small amounts figuring things out or want statistical evidence that something is +EV. I also want that statistical evidence to be backed by some type of logical rationale. Then I like to have a certain...

    How do I break in with a legit prop firm?

    I estimate I could survive about 2 years living on my own in Las Vegas while breaking even before needing to get a job. I have a particular poker game I plan to grind. I will also put some money towards an IB account while I do this, but I see poker as more of a sure thing. Believe it or not...
