Nope I am quite serious. Warren is currently in the lead. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/21/politics/iowa-poll-2020-democrats/index.html

There's no history of picks or track record anywhere on their site. Not even a hypothetical backtest. Why would I shell out $500 per year for something I am supposed to forward test?

Actually Warren is only slightly behind gaffe-man Biden and is closing in. If the trend continues, she will be the top candidate in the primaries and will surely end up the Democratic nominee. After that it will be smooth sailing for Warren in the general election against Trump who's approval...

Assuming you are telling the truth, very nice!

Trading is a zero sum game so nothing is going to "take over". This topic is popular in the genre of drivel financial journalism.

yes this morning on TWS I am seeing something weird while inputting my closing orders

don't have a link to that but you should talk to their institutional services helpline for info on that.

I have a LP structure at IB with 10 sub-accounts. I do this to isolate strategies for easier attribution. Note that the accounts are not 'fire-walled' from each other. In other words if you have a large margin event in one account, that margin counts toward the aggregate margin of all sub-accounts.

Negative rates around the world and now the Fed doing its first emergency overnight repo action since 2008. Perhaps there will be a violent dislocation very soon? The catalyst to the next GFC?

Interesting pair of gold miners to retail. I typically would not have put this trade on because of the heterogeneous nature of the two industries. But maybe on the short term time frame, they are similar enough (both 'risk on' assets) and end up being a hedged divergence bet rather than a pair...

Agree 100%. There's a certain ET member who seems to inject himself into and subsequently derail threads with his extreme rage and negativity, with never any intelligent or helpful trading advice. Maybe there have been personal issues in that member's childhood. Or maybe its a bad marriage or...

But I have seen this ageism pattern alive and well even in big firms. People I know locally have been layed off in their mid 40's and 50's after having been employed for decades. And the ones still clinging to their jobs seem worried about their job security. These days its not just about the...

Coding is a young man's game. If you're over 40 and have not graduated into management then you will likely be pushed out. Over 50 you are pretty much guaranteed to be put out to pasture. Best start think about self-employment ideas.

Excel VBA is what I still use for about 50% of my backtesting and execution. A few years though ago I started to run into capacity limitations for some newer forms of research I got into, namely cross sectional analysis+ranking of securities. And when I started to analyze pair combos it got into...

I'm an RIA registered in multiple states and manage OPM. It's not as bad as you think. Get a compliance guy and he will do everything for you including your annual renewals, etc. Don't throw out a potential business opportunity for fear of the regulator. I was registered as a CTA in the past -...

Been to Boise recently on business. Not sure I'd want to live there, looks pretty dead. And a fund manager I met there said the Idaho income taxes are a killer. But I understand the dynamics of migration - I have been witnessing a slow but steady outflow of businesses and residents from NYC...

No doubt the taxes in Canada are high. I have Canadian relatives that complain about it all the time. But their total burden is nowhere as high as in the failed American blue states (NY/NJ/CT), which I believe is the highest taxed region globally. Here you pay 2.5% to 3% of your home value in...

Canada currently has one of the most overvalued property markets globally as well as off the charts household debt. Plus they are a resource based economy which will tank during the impending recession. I am short Canada.

you need to define the 'Start Time' field for the order.
