    There's nothing wrong with using posting tactics to people. I do it. If you're trying to drill down on someone else's post or idea, we all do it. I'm pretty sure propseeker has done it unintentionally or not. So I was just backing up asiaprop because I want him to hook me up with a bunch...

    OK... I admit asiaprop is my gay brother lover. * I know it's a journal and I'll prolly get flamed by some A-hole for being a troll but I just have to reply to his little *wink*. I haven't gotten laid for a few weeks....

    Mods... please confirm that I am not AsiaProp. Seriously... I only post in here with "TSGannGalt". No multiple alias. Mods, if you can confirm that please do that too. I usually post from 2 IP locations (home and office) but considering I'm in Japan I think it won't be hard to confirm I'm...

    It's a matter of speed vs. managability/extensability. If I want to have a static run-through tests it's quite simple. The issue is when I start automating and letting the AI takeover the development. One example is, when the walk-forward event is triggered, I have the AI decide what kind...

    Good post. I've heard that the exotic markets are being targeted and "raped" by quants these days. It's a 1-2 year old info. but I've heard that SAC (or DE Shaw) was opening up an office in Mumbai so that they can start exposing the Indian Market's inefficiencies, hence all the sell sides...

    In regards to pure High Frequency... 1. Rebate is somewhat accessible with BATS. They're capital requirement is a lot lower than the others. I have a prop. firm taking care of the clearing while I run the IT side of things with a help of a few friends. 2. My definition of a High...

    Attn Baron: upgrade your software to allow for self moderation of threads!

    Seriously... good traders are still around in ET. Maybe... you don't feel there aren't many left them because they don't agree with your views or don't bother replying to what you have to say or ask. Here's a typical historical trend of things: 1. When I joined there was a major debate...

    Attn Baron: upgrade your software to allow for self moderation of threads!

    Start Yahoo! or Google groups? It seems really weird... Many people write like it's their "right" and it's a benefit of ET for them to post... Hubris?

    Attn Baron: upgrade your software to allow for self moderation of threads!

    Good GAWD, this guy is retarded... 1. Why would a "successful" trader start a thread to start off with? The probable reason is everything that you oppose which you mentioned in the "Characteristic" thread you started. Seriously... why would a successful trader start a thread? WHY? What's...

    Pseudo-random runs around Visual Studios

    I'm involved in another web venture so I shouldn't be posting much in ET (last thing I want is to be thought that I'm advertising...) Last post I'll be making in quite a while... 1. I rant randomly. Hence the pseudo-random. 2. I place myself as one of the top 3 "systematic" trader in...

    lolatency... From my perspective you're the biggest dim-wit in this discussion... I can see you're a smart kid but you are narrow minded. Seriously, let's say I hired you and I tell you that all my library is in C#. Then I ask for the same task to be done, to test tick data. If you come...

    :cool: :cool: :cool: I understood your previous post and if you were directing your reply to me, you probably would have quoted my post. No biggie. Now that you mention it, it's good to hear someone mentioning "Randomness" from a systematic trading perspective. You rarely hear about it...
