The mythical "quant babe" is an 11-sigma event, but without fat tails. :D (See 2:00 pm.)

The short answer: convention / tradition, really, I think. A slightly longer answer: another way to think of this would be that virtually all currency pairs, involving USD, both major and minor, are quoted directly, from a USD perspective, as USD/---. The only exceptions are the "Queen's...

Don't believe everything you think. :) Intraday high so far = 1.9655.

Not only did she touch her nose, but also gave the cameraman a hummer.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, that didn't help with Oanda config (there are no user-accessible API options, as far as I know). I've just sent eSignal support an email as well, requesting specific instructions.

I had both of those problems until I uninstalled and reinstalled everything, i.e., both Data Manager (assuming you were not already an eSignal user) and QuoteTrader, even though nothing changed.

Yep, they finally got rid of that out-of-date download with 7 brokers and replaced it with one with 10, adding Oanda, Cyber and Refco FX. (Refco FX?... say, what year are we in?) To see how to connect, press F1 (or click Help - Help Contents) to bring up the User Guide and read the section...

The good news is that you don't need to calculate huge factorials. 970! is greater than the number of electrons in the visible universe, I think. Instead, simplify the expression. Let's take your example: n = 1,000 r = 15 k = 2 and also, let's say, p = 0.4 q = 0.6. Then P =...

Brent, Glad to hear it... and does Oanda, on its part, know about QuoteTrader's existence? ;) IOW, seriously, shouldn't Oanda at least be included on the setup screen? I've installed everything... how does one go about connecting to a particular broker, live? Your QuickStart Guide...

Maybe you didn't look hard enough: "If you want to ignore price all together and draw a little stick figure in the corner of the chart, you will have the ability to complete your task with out any limitations." Seems the Area 51, err, Wave 59 people display a dry sense of humor, if not...

Strange, I could've sworn that my post was not printed in invisible ink...

Such charting apps are out there. For example, take a look at Wave59, which does offer true free-hand drawing tools, among others: http://www.wave59.com/drawing.asp Not an endorsement -- I have not used it personally. I use Alt-PrtScr key, SnagIt and Paint extensively every day and find...

Got the model number? I wouldn't worry about things like non-delivery scam, gray market, inferior item substitution, refurbished rather than new, etc., as long as they accept credit cards. Seems to me, the only real question is -- what's the current fair market value of that widget?

Actually, that contest was over on Dec. 6th, 2.5 days after it started. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81260

OK, that makes sense. 24y4m x 3/4 = 18y3m.

It's official... he's in. 12 years... you think? The projections I've read call for 18-19 years, with time off for good behavior and alcohol treatment program. That would put him in his 70s when he gets out (he's 53 now). Hardly an appealing prospect.

Just saw on Bloomberg that Skilling will enter that federal prison in Minnesota as early as today, after all, according to his lawyer. "The federal prison where Skilling will serve his 24-year term lies near the edge of Waseca, population 9,737, nestled between two lakes in the hills of...

You mean 15.33% per year, not 307%.
