So my trading platform/system was trading for the first time in a fast market today (I shut it down for the last couple of days, out of fear). Market taught me a lesson, and exposed a flaw in my execution logic: The market will reject stop orders if the market is already below the stop price...

IF. I'm too much of a coward to trade this thing... will second guess myself tomorrow, but...live to fight another day.

Bingo. If you have to ask, then windows is for you.

Really depends on your use case. I'm huge Ubuntu (gnome) advocate, but it's not for everyone. There is almost always a open source alternative for any commonly used software package, but they usually aren't as good. Excel, for example, is far better than libreoffice calc. For my workflow, I...

Could it be indexes are strongly trending, and currencies tend to be more more mean reverting in nature?

Damn, I didn't know that even know that existed. What kind of chip is it ? What do y'all use it for ? The curse of dimensionality rules us all, unfortunately :( .

1TB ram? That must be for the whole cluster not for a single processor? Or, are you referring to a PCI solid state hd? What are you using for back testing software? You are right that an entire day of ES tick is around a gb, but why do you need to keep all of that data in ram memory?

Value of 1 ES Contract 50 * Quote Price, which as of right now has a value of= 50 * 2514.5 = $125,725 . Because the price of ES is statistically unlikely to vary "too" erratically, brokers will allow you to purchase an ES contract with an intraday collateral of around $500. I.e, if you cash...

He specifically stated his desire is to start a fund. I agree with your premise, if that was indeed his intent, however

I'd say yes. I'm not going to give money to "some guy" without a track record. Especially if my money is going to be used to develop a system, not trade an already established system. Why do you need other people's money ? Imo, you're better off trading your own capital to establish a track...

You need to provide more details if you wish to get useful feedback. What EXACTLY does it do? What value will it offer to your investors? How will they recover their investment? If your answer to that question is clear, believable, and compelling... than it should be pretty easy to attract...

Anybody?

...Feel free to respond with regards to equities as well. Thanks!

I had an interesting/scary thought today... Could those who are are sharing charts that display globex market data (i.e ES or CL candlesticks) in their trading journals be prosecuted for violating CME market data licensing agreements? They surely paid for the data used to generate the chart...
