Unless you actually had a company (C or S corp, LLC or whatever), don't come up with some name for a company and call yourself the president. Without knowing what job you are applying for, I would say to make note of your successes as a trader (or whatever you want to call it). Even if not...

This has to be just as hard as making it right? Let's say you start with $1M and work your way down with as few equity highs as possible - a nice smooth decline in equity.

I laughed so hard when I saw this thread! :P

Couple thoughts here; First, the two web sites look almost exactly the same. The layout, similar drop downs and even the software looks the same. Who's the middle man? Something's fishy... Next, I doubt they are ECN's. ECN-Like maybe (they receive streaming quotes from banks), but these...

Personally, I design trading systems and to limit myself to just one market would be terrible. I like the diversification that comes with multiple systems trading multiple markets. If I were manually day trading, I would have no idea how to keep track of many systems.

I will look into it, but I always got a lot from posters such as acrary and the like. Something I could sink my 'teeth' into. that link above describes things well. I'll spend some time there.

Does any of his stuff make sense? I don't understand half of what he says. Are you saying that there's something to it?

This made me laugh :) I actually think that stocks will go higher to end of year. Earnings are up etc... I think this down period has been due to fears of inflation rather than facts.

Hi All, I'm considering trading a few stock pairs (long one, short the other) but find that this strategy requires significant capital or lots of leverage to get decent returns. I'd like to try leveraging up with options. Rather than hold a stock for a few days, I would hold an option on...

Martin, So if I could sell forward the November contract and buy the September contract, I would be essentially "leasing" storage space until the November delivery date? This makes sense... but somehow I doubt I would make a sure profit. For one... I don't know what the spread will be in...

I appreciate everyone's input. This will be my first ATS. As I see the world, I think letting a computer do the trading is the way to go. I know that everyone is different, but I can't take time to trade the markets during the day and also I would be limited in how many systems I could trade...

Hound Dog... How many automated trades (or how long) have you been trading IB's API? ... what I'm trying to get at is, how many years/months have you been running trouble free with the API? what were some of the 'issues' you had to deal with? Knowing this would help me a lot to make sure...

Thanks everyone, That is what I thought would be the answer. I am working with a friend who is coding the API and I keep hearing from him that there are issues. How do I get access to this since I am not a member? Best, Granville

I think I'm going to start out a couple of currency automated systems with IB's TWS API... wanted to hear from those of you who use it or have upgraded to the FIX. Any comments/suggestions?

or maybe an elf! :D

well done Dan

Thought you might know it off the top of your head and I was interested b/c i've not heard of this before. I'll keep a look out for it.

Murray, Where is the ref for this? Thanks,

Yes, very much. Thanks for your post Steve.

There are many diff gold mines, yet they are priced very diff b/c of management. 2 thoughts: 1. Does the management have a hedging strategy? What is it? 2. Do they intend on producing as much mineral as possible each year or to produce a measured amount each year?
