Why do they use those particular letters? voodoo

IANAL, but I think both shorting against the box and trading with yourself are illegal. You can do an ACATS transfer from one broker to another, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle, depends on your trading style I guess (how soon you need the funds vs. commission amount.) Ask your...

Too much math in that paper, couldn't understand any of it :) The text in between the math didn't seem very interesting though, maybe the math was a necessary ingredient (duh.) I checked on google to see who links to that paper, hoping to find some interesting stuff. Didn't find much, but...

Why don't you just start a thread? voodoo

My systems simply buy at the ask, sell at the bid. They check what the bid/ask was at the time of the signal, then what it was 3-5 seconds later, and give me whichever is the worse fill. Of course I test on tick data, not on bars. voodoo

As I said before, I don't think phone orders are a good option during the times a broker is down. Especially if it's an online broker. It's much more efficient to have a second web site with completely separate systems. Of course in IB's case, even that shouldn't be necessary, the IB client...

As I said, a comedian. My favorite bit of spam from this guy comes from Usenet though. Go to google groups and search for the keyword spectrenet. Here's a link: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=spectrenet&hl=en this exchange is my favorite, notice the by now familiar style and the '--'...

Oops. Sorry pkjr. Got to remember to think twice before hitting the submit button. :) voodoo

SL4 is empowered by an automated execution and transactional deployment system....... Respectfully and apologetically, I am unwilling to permission this access for the simple reason of pure greed...... This access level is available only at a cost of $10,000,000 and then only to individual...

Are you asking for a common, widely accepted, industry standard, exact definition of what a trend is? Or do you have your own definition and just want to know what it would look like as an excel formula? Or do you just want an excel spreadsheet that will tell you whether a stock will go up or...

You know, there is one simple way to get the kind of software that will do absolutely anything you could possibly want. Write it yourself. If you are already spending time trying to learn easy language or any other scripting language, why not learn C instead. You won't have to put up with the...

<i>I did not spend much time trading bonds but the charts appear to have less noisse than SnP. One thing is that spread on IB for eminis is 4-5 ticks (x $15 and change) and there is not much liquidity unless you want to sell bid/buy ask </i> Not true. During regular stock market trading...

Simone, Your math is still off. Multiply the current value of the S&P by 50 to get the value of the *e-mini* contract. You are confusing the ES with the full SP contracts. http://www.cme.com/products/index/products_index_esp500_about.cfm voodoo

This site is great, but there is one thing that is still annoying, at least for me. voodoo

Its just like a restaurant with really good food I'll have some fried Spam, with some Spam on the side and a Spam salad. Something to drink...maybe a Spam slurpee. voodoo

There is approximately $5 billion being traded on SL4, and over $138 million was produced in the last twelve months utilizing its investment mode...SL4's research on its algorithms alone cost well into the 8 digits.... Of course it did. And how much are you spending on marketing? voodoo

tntneo, Odd about the NDA agreement, you'd think they'd mention it on their website, I saw nothing about it on any of the TAL sites. toolkit.taltrade.com clearly states that they have no plans to offer an api to order entry. Also, pcquote is just a reseller. re: platform, here's a quote...
