am I the only one who finds 99% of jj's posts utterly useless? anyways frost. i think this point was brought up before on the first thread, but have you tried different ways of charting good vs bad trades? if you find some temporal grouping of them then it might be a sign that there is room...

i might be mistaken here, but i have my doubts that you'll be able to get a cell signal on top of everest. i have no idea how they made the record call but i have a feeling they used some tricks, maybe setting up their own temporary cell towers for it. out of all the documentaries iv watched...

did anyone make / lose money through pt today?

breaking even while paying commissions+spreads is a good accomplishment. maybe you should should spend some more time to see if you can sharpen your edge a bit more.

would you suggest quickfix above any other open source FIX engines? also im wondering if you are trading through IB, if so. do you use IBGateway for market data or still use TWS Api for market data? I was reading about IBGateway and was left wondering if there was any performance boost between...

does anyone know if the FIX Gateway app outperforms TWS? or is the benefit negligible?

how long do you guys normally hang around? i might not be able to arrive until 8:00 - 9:00.

can you provide more details on the job? location. etc

im curious. why did you decide to switch from c++ to java?

nothing against them. i'll probably always trade CME. just looking for alternatives.
