    Does HFT strategy on textbook and papers ever works?

    I'm not really qualified to answer your question, so I thought I'd share a link. There is a great article in Wired magazine about HFT/low latency trading. You can access it here: http://www.wired.com/business/2012/08/ff_wallstreet_trading/

    Communism Survivor Blasts Gun Control: "You Don't Know What Freedom Is"

    I think there has to be a sane middle. I mean, no one really wants someone like Adam Lanza in possession of automatic weapons ? More dialogue is needed. Perhaps some compromise. Both sides really need to be starting a meaningful dialogue.

    N Korea only has to look to China

    N Korea only has to look to China to find an example of a successful Communist country (not that I'm Communist). But they aren't. Even with limited resources, you would think that the DPRK (a misnomer if I ever saw one) would follow China's lead.

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    Hello Jerry, I've been trying to get the Advanced Screener working (ver. 3.9.8) but I keep getting the following error whenever I attempt to update the files ... "There was an error updating the files. Please try again".

    The Chinese math formula that killed Wall Street.

    It was a good read four years ago, and still a good read today :)

    Are charts completely arbitrary ?

    Hmm. So how is the chart dependency removed ? It's almost like this is curve fitting, although across price series rather than dates, trading sessions, etc.

    Are charts completely arbitrary ?

    Are charts completely arbitrary ? If so, this is somewhat disturbing. Consider the following two NinjaTrader candlestick charts. One is 144 tick, one is 150 tick. The 144 tick chart contains a harami @ 11:03:09 the 150 does not. Does this mean that chart representation is completely...

    What if I mint the trillion dolllar coin ?

    Why can't I mint the trillion dolllar coin ? It's not counterfeiting. It's created out of nothing, but so is the US Mint's coin.

    Thank God For The NRA

    Seems like a fairly thoughtful testimony. Look, I'm not a gun owner. Probably never will be. Don't know if I could trust myself with one. Afaik, no one in my family (granddad, father, etc) ever owned a gun. But I still believe in the right to own one. I think there needs to be an...

    The ruthless

    I think it's very possible to make sound business decisions, be profitable and not be "ruthless". But it seems that the most successful (at least temporarily), are in fact, ruthless. May G-d have mercy on them. Mercy that they've not shown others.

    The perfect lifestyle, what is it ?

    Just curious what members think is the perfect lifestyle ... especially if you are over 50 :) It probably depends on the person, but there must be some common visions of what the perfect life would be. o Is it sipping mint juleps on the beach all day ? o Is it sailing/traveling around the...

    Marathoners ... you're always welcome here

    Dear Marathoners, I can't speak for all NY'ers, but I can try. We're terribly sorry that the NYC Marathon was cancelled. Even so, you're response is humbling. You travelled many miles to participate, but when you got here you found out it was cancelled. Your response was not anger, but...

    PhD in the area of trading strategies

    I think the problem with doing a PhD in trading strategies is that likely very little would be original research (usually a requirement for a dissertation). Even if you could do the original research, would you want to publish it ?

    If anyone is interested in taking this class with me let me know. It's online.

    I've signed up as well, but am involved in the UW course at the moment. I hope python runs ok under Fedora (I expect it will), I'm not an Ubuntu guy.

    Biden Screwing Up In Debate Early

    I always believed that you should err on the side of life. Don't know about Ryan or Biden.

    Biden Screwing Up In Debate Early

    It's possible that Biden may have won the debate. That doesn't necessarily mean that he is the best candidate. No matter the candidate's position or party, I'd have trouble voting for someone who performed like him.

    There Is Absolutely NO VALUE To High Frequency Trading

    Have you ever heard of quote stuffing ? There may be the appearance of always having "somebody to buy and sell", but the reality can be quite different. At least according to the SEC. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703882304575465990082237642.html
