I'm dealing with a similar thing currently. I've got several sub accounts at IBKR now running different strategies. Sometimes they will have the same stock, sometimes in the same direction and sometimes in different directions. But now I am in the process of moving all of that money over to...

Your cost assumptions are about right except the accounting fee. That will be a lot more than $200 per month once you start acquiring more and more clients. Typically CPAs will charge you roughly $25 to $50 per month per account in order to compile your NFA mandated composite performance. You...

It's a matter of personal taste but I find the majority of vehicles on the road these days just plain fugly. From the soft edged, potato like BMWs to the hideous hourglass grilled Lexus. Even the Teslas, until now look like milquetoast vanity cars for women. When I saw the cybertruck however I...

I've tried backtesting intraday strategies using daily bars in the past. For simple rules the daily bars are OK. But once I introduce some complex rules such as profit taking or stop loss I had to start making some significant assumptions on the day's price path - like which occurred first, the...

How do you backtest a beast of a strategy such as that? Tick data? Daily bars?

Very nice! A few questions if you don't mind: 1. Long only or Long/Short? 2. Approx holding period of trades? 3. Automated or manual? 4. Average # of positions held at a time? 5. Trend or Reversion? 6. What instruments? Stocks, futures?

Love the way this thing looks right out of Blade Runner. Put in my pre-order just now!

not really sure if lean tissue was lost but my endurance certainly is up

I've been doing the fast 5 diet (Dr. Bert Herring) where you only eat during a 5 hour window and it works. I actually eat in a 6 hour window between 1pm to 7pm. I lost about 15 pounds over the past few months doing just that. But you do reach a plateau if you eat like crap in the eating window...

Good riddance

I would assume they would fill my entire MOC order on a best efforts basis - I did not see any documentation from Fidelity that their market on close order is part of the auction. But I would be ok with a bit if slippage once in a while. My trading is not high frequency and is not super...

It is free

For my trading style I think I can save money at Fidelity. While I trade at the open, close and intraday. The bulk of my trading centers around MOC. I have high turnover, about $2M to $3M worth every day. And Fidelity sweeps the unused cash automatically to their money market fund SPAXX which is...

I wonder what would happen if the 10 year yield spiked to 15% like it did in 1981. I think the US survived that because the debt-to-GDP ratio in 1981 was 30%. Today the debt-to-GDP ratio is 103%.

Is the NSE Indian contract even available for trading outside the country? Years ago I think I traded it on the Singapore exchange which is USD denominated. And its a really small contract.

Milk is NOT good for you. There have been scientific studies showing the link between osteo arthritis and milk consumption. That crap actually leaches calcium from your bones. The dairy industry has done a brilliant brainwash job upon the idiot sheeple over many decades. Plus it's also a likely...

Plant based alternatives are becoming better and more available every year. I think this is going to be a permanent shift, especially if the alternatives become cheaper than their animal based equivalents.

Depends on your clientele. Billion dollar hedge funds can get away with 10% net CAROR over the long term with a sharpe of 0.6 to 1.0. Small retail money managers have to perform at a higher standard for their business to stay solvent. They need to generate net returns in the mid to high teens...

Admittedly there is some anecdotal bias in my opinion. But what I am seeing on the ground does not bode well for the future of states like NY whose fiscal policy is at its core dictated by the criminal organizations called Public Sector Unions. These are boom times for government employees -...

Maybe I am being naive. Maybe its too good to be true. But that is why I am running it side-by-side for a while to see for myself.
