    Yes, the dinosaurs had the same idea 65m years ago. it took some time, though, until someone found some use for it again. I hope you are patient. lol

    Doubts finding prop firms.

    This is a basic core question that anyone who has been in this business for more than 5 minutes trading profitability will run into sooner or later. There is really no simple bog standard solution to it. You really need to consult a tax specialist for this. If you really are two of you, who do...

    TWS build 972.1x (STABLE) needs attention from TWS developer team

    Ha ha. Stable means stable I guess. Who is going to bother? You are probably posting this in the wrong forum anyway. Here you would get more useful feedback if you actually talked to the mirror instead. LOL In recent days I have actually resorted to using the beta version to be able to get...

    Firm for US equities that accepts EU-based traders

    LOL. 20:1 in these lean times. Only a matter of time before Trump sneezes and you get caught holding the bag. There is just not enough liquidity in US stocks at the moment to get out in a hurry with minimal slippage. Good luck with that.

    TWS software update -- all fonts too big now. Anyone else?

    Does anyone know any way to download a specific stable desktop version which does not update itself every time at start up? I know you can specify one of three options: stable, latest and beta, but this is not what I am asking.

    TWS software update -- all fonts too big now. Anyone else?

    Anyone having any API order/execution problems this morning? The order status acks are taking forever to report. I went back to the stable version and got the same behaviour.

    Switching to lite

    Absolutely. That is the initial business disclosure. Just need to to keep an eye on it that in the long run or in any run for that matter, the pro orders do not get commingled internally with the lite ones. You know, Chinese wall and all.

    Switching to lite

    Ha ha. In this day and age questioning in what way one might get screwed over is probably not so wise when there are a dozen proven ways. For example, you could sit the whole day on the bid and not get filled, even if you constantly adjust the price. If you send a marketable limit order, most...

    Looking for decent options strategy for high-probability stock trades

    If you have a pure delta play, look at the synthetic long call/put. However, if the IV is below 30% and the stocks move on average less than 2% a day you will give away any edge you have to slippage, spread and transaction costs, even if you can predict the underlying move correctly 99% of the...

    An old topic: how to describe a "trend" by algos ?

    There are a few different ways of quantifying a trend within a given time series window. I see you are already familiar with SMA and EMA. Now try a simple linear regression fit on your chosen price points at your chosen time frame interval. Look at the regression residuals to give you a sense of...
