wallaby (LOL!), a) Yeah, you have a point there. It's not a matter of science to understand this, though. Whether you have a low ping really only matters if you're a day trader, and more if you're a frequent and entry-exit-critical day trader / scalper. b) Yeah! We should go to the US and...

:D Perhaps I should go to America one day and join metoox's team of wiz-kids on 15ms lines... :D

This sounds scary man. What is just the latency diff you're facing there against your NY buddies? Hardly 100ms I bet? I remember I said once to a friend that it wouldn't be worth it for me scalping shares really actively unless I had just about an apartment across the road from the exchange...

Thanks nitro, I think you've taken my point on "computer latency" way too serious. I know that my CPU processes at 2.6 Billion computations per second, and most CPU's today aren't too far from that. :p Well, but this is again exactly what I pointed out before. There must be significant...

Ha! See I was right! She was jumping the gun on those -100ms ones! I'm gonna tell her that! :D Nice to finally have some facts here. However, for the ones of 120-160ms I would be pretty sure they were real - she really was that fast there, and feelably faster than me. Since the time interval...

Hey, I'm off now though, I need to go to the airport tomorrow at 9am and it's 3am... :cool:

Oh, this is only because ET'ers kept kept finding them and chasing me for snapshots of my system tradelogs and wanting me to dance naked... :p

Hey you d*ck! I never CU on Y! TMTrader is on there almost 24/7, like me! :eek:

Oh yeah? One year ago, I sold RE, almost at the top of the boom. U wouldn't have been that lucky around here buying that time, bro. It was super-inflated. It's such an easy game. I only wished there was a way to short-sell individual real estate... :(

You think one year ago was a good time to buy real estate in Baghdad?

"It's only money" is exactly the attitude you need to succeed (not kidding). Better even, don't think about money at all. Hide the P&L or let it show in T rather than in $, it could work wonders for you. As for your lower success rate - You probably get scared by the larger tick moves. It's...

Well, if it's not as volatile, what's the point in trading it? Or do you mean "fast, weird moves"? They certainly don't happen on YM. It's extremely contained within it's range, just look at the 1M, 5M, 15M chart of YM, how well the bars close within each other's range. Hardly any overlap. YM is...

Well, if this were the case, then even better so, not??? I'm not sure if you realize what I'm getting at here. The point, for day trading and particularly scalping, is that the larger the daily tick range, the more opportunities for entry/exit you will get. To visualize this in a rather...

Nor does Globex ... :confused: AFAIK Eurex is the only one that has native stops - which is another reason why I'm trading it.

Hey folks - on topic... I traded the YM today, just to see what it's like these days... :) Well, liquidity has improved nicely since the new ECBOT architecture came in, and order matching is awesome. The index moves very nice, very volatile, very fast, and is rather inefficient. I.e. the...

Again precisely what I was thinking when I read that.... But who knows... Maybe Fast is interested in male strippers? :confused: :eek:

On ET!!! :eek: :p :D LMAO! Fast, after you made this promise to Microsoft and then broke it, building your IT empire on their llama source code... ... How could I still trust you? :D

I would also love to see example of Coca-Cola's recipe and the Windows source code, if they are willing to share them.

:D :D :D

Fast, I've shared one of my Excel sheets with you once, a tiny part of my framework, and that makes you one of about three people on this planet. It's not exactly something you publish when you've put years of work into a competitive business like this. Particularly not on a public internet...
