    Finding Beta in specific timeframes?

    You can still do it in excel, just set up a macro that will automatically pull the data from yahoo, and then run the regression analysis for you. All you're after is the regression X-variable.

    The truth about yesterday’s market collapse:

    Algos getting scapegoated here. Paper was selling size in the S&P large pit yesterday. Don't belive the bullshit that you hear about glitches and such. While there were a few individuals that saw ridiculous prints, paper was giving an all too human element to the selloff. It was the real...

    anyone see this movie on trading yet?

    Long pharmaceuticals >> How The Army Helps Combat Veterans Adjust After Deployment

    Whichever companies are getting the free opium from AFGN. AFGN is the Saudi Arabia of poppy, and some companies are getting their raw inputs (for opioids) for free/discounted from Uncle Sam's (often) random poppy confiscation missions. Makes you wonder who's pulling the strings.

    Is anything wrong with this picture?

    That horrible idea pretty much marked the top of the corn market in 2008. I honestly remember Bush saying that word, and I shuddered at the though of a nation like the US trying to fuel ourselves on some hillbilly mash.

    NFP Expectations

    We've seen the top of the unemployment rate, as a whole. That's not to say that there won't be any variance in the figures. If we are to see abberational growth in the U-level, I suspect that it would be both March and May figures. That's what's on my mind. Unemployment has peaked, but...

    Any training classes on global macro?

    Pick yourself up a college text on trade policy, monetary policy and exchange rates. Krugman has an international trade text that's pretty thorough, and it covers all topics tangent to trade, including accounts and rates. That'll form a solid platform to build on.

    what software does this?

    databased data, and SQL would do this for you. If/Else statement would be appropriate to return what you want. But I'm sure that as a high-frequency trader, you already knew that.

    what's wrong with HE?

    Cattle herd liquidation causing tighness, plus large mechanical funds love to buy the X-day breakouts in the cattle market. The longer the consolidation before breakout, the more mech fund money flows into LE. Long LE, short HE looks like its got some legs.

    when was the last time we had this divergence?

    Don't forget about that higher dollar as well. Market volatility has been held down by the large option writers for the duration of this week. The VIX is going to pop after we get past OPEX. DOW % gains outpacing NAS and S&P show slight de-risking as investors rotate into lower beta div...
