I'm not really qualified to answer your question, so I thought I'd share a link. There is a great article in Wired magazine about HFT/low latency trading. You can access it here: http://www.wired.com/business/2012/08/ff_wallstreet_trading/

I think there has to be a sane middle. I mean, no one really wants someone like Adam Lanza in possession of automatic weapons ? More dialogue is needed. Perhaps some compromise. Both sides really need to be starting a meaningful dialogue.

N Korea only has to look to China to find an example of a successful Communist country (not that I'm Communist). But they aren't. Even with limited resources, you would think that the DPRK (a misnomer if I ever saw one) would follow China's lead.

Hello Jerry, I've been trying to get the Advanced Screener working (ver. 3.9.8) but I keep getting the following error whenever I attempt to update the files ... "There was an error updating the files. Please try again".

It was a good read four years ago, and still a good read today :)

Hmm. So how is the chart dependency removed ? It's almost like this is curve fitting, although across price series rather than dates, trading sessions, etc.

Chart 1

Are charts completely arbitrary ? If so, this is somewhat disturbing. Consider the following two NinjaTrader candlestick charts. One is 144 tick, one is 150 tick. The 144 tick chart contains a harami @ 11:03:09 the 150 does not. Does this mean that chart representation is completely...

Why can't I mint the trillion dolllar coin ? It's not counterfeiting. It's created out of nothing, but so is the US Mint's coin.

Seems like a fairly thoughtful testimony. Look, I'm not a gun owner. Probably never will be. Don't know if I could trust myself with one. Afaik, no one in my family (granddad, father, etc) ever owned a gun. But I still believe in the right to own one. I think there needs to be an...

I think it's very possible to make sound business decisions, be profitable and not be "ruthless". But it seems that the most successful (at least temporarily), are in fact, ruthless. May G-d have mercy on them. Mercy that they've not shown others.

Just curious what members think is the perfect lifestyle ... especially if you are over 50 :) It probably depends on the person, but there must be some common visions of what the perfect life would be. o Is it sipping mint juleps on the beach all day ? o Is it sailing/traveling around the...

Dear Marathoners, I can't speak for all NY'ers, but I can try. We're terribly sorry that the NYC Marathon was cancelled. Even so, you're response is humbling. You travelled many miles to participate, but when you got here you found out it was cancelled. Your response was not anger, but...

I have my moments :)

I think the problem with doing a PhD in trading strategies is that likely very little would be original research (usually a requirement for a dissertation). Even if you could do the original research, would you want to publish it ?

I've signed up as well, but am involved in the UW course at the moment. I hope python runs ok under Fedora (I expect it will), I'm not an Ubuntu guy.

I always believed that you should err on the side of life. Don't know about Ryan or Biden.

It's possible that Biden may have won the debate. That doesn't necessarily mean that he is the best candidate. No matter the candidate's position or party, I'd have trouble voting for someone who performed like him.

Have you ever heard of quote stuffing ? There may be the appearance of always having "somebody to buy and sell", but the reality can be quite different. At least according to the SEC. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703882304575465990082237642.html
