another proof that WS can't make a money off the market without some sort of 'advantage'. either technical + regulatory as in case of HFT or just plain insider trading.

s***t. the whole tax code use to be couple hundreds pages. now this 'proposed rule' alone takes almost 50. Thanks a lot Mr President for 'simplicity and fairness'

tell this to yourself, while you are going into a fight with a spear against this: just try to apply your 'words of wisdom' against this particular 'enemy' on the picture. all those three above.come back and tell us about your thoughts

i remember the times when banks in russia paid 100% APR on accounts in US currency and 300-500% APR on deposits in local currency. just like in your 'advise' above-the question was-will you ever see your money(principal in particular) again?

i'm too lazy to dig through my posts,but i did post my observations regarding this particular play while ago. you are correct and that's why i have nothing against it. cause anyone can play it(assuming he can get filled) :) i'm not going to get into details,but sometimes it even visible,no...

i have no problem with this approach. there is nothing illegal or 'not fair' about it. you place an order ,a bit away from the market and if you got filled-then you add more,cause you believe(it's a key word! that price movement in this direction will continue. anyone can do it. emg...

http://personalsavings.americanexpress.com/savings-product.html also capital one 360 is offering same APR on checking accounts better than nothing

http://lexicon.ft.com/Term?term=bail_in where i can read more about it? i get that part about bondholders,but what about cash on checking \savings accounts? Thank you!

same here. i'm seriously suspect that my orders just not been routed anywhere,sitting on Ib servers. i have couple buy orders on corp bonds- every single day i see millions of dollars traded at my price or better (as much as 25% better) and i got no fill on regular 10K$ order. same for...

the sad part is this-

just another example of incompetency at IB and how far some of them are from trading. back to the message in that thread-how you suppose to figure out what is 'fair' and orderly market AT OPEN? i understand that they are trying to protect themselves mostly(not you,the customer),but it's a very...

i did run into such scenario multiple times.specially painful,when price spike down(or up,when you short) and goes below your stop. you trying to exit as quick as possible but instead-have to deal with those 'cap' modifications(where order price in case of long will be far above current price...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=160107&perpage=6&highlight=tws%20bug&pagenumber=30 i was asking same question many many times. unfortunately IB is ignoring them. i still don't know WHAT EXCHANGE REQUIRES the cap? NAME IT and show us,where can we read more about it...

to OP- statistics also shown that doing opposite won't help. if you can backtest-i encourage you to try it and see it yourself. :)

--- Pulling Data into A Sql DB--- english is not my native language,but it's sounds oxymoron

and that's why imo they are hardest(in terms of steady and stable results). after 10 years of trading and working on various systems i was unable to come up with something that would fit me and my risk tolerance. but it's just me.

i don't trade forex,but i guess so. they(HFT) have no interest in unregulated markets. as i said many times-their 'edge' is a combo of technological advantages + set of rules,made by SEC that was lobbied by them in their favor. give me same ability to place a subpenny orders and see those...

only to find out that this YQL joke is useless,cause it's not always return same results. let say there is 10 tickers on page initially,but you wait for few secs and place same request-it will return 9. or 11. go figure

it's logical. after retail is gone- it's now dog eat dog time.

yeah. they back. but i already wrote a backup scraper from yahoo earnings page using ther YQL query
