I think you should realize that there are 2 distinct processes: 1 - flipping the coin; 2 - you guessing it. Regardless of their nature these processes (fair or unfair coin for example) will result in a game that will have distribution that is very close to Gaussian providing that these processes...

Oh, boy .. The good news is that you are willing to learn and analyze! I think you should start with the book I have posted below. I placed it on my server for a short time so that people who are interested could download it. Please do not abuse my server and treat it with respect. The book will...

Please look at the link provided (scroll to the bottom to see the animation). This is one of the cases where a pure random game has positive expectations. This is the right angle to attack the problem. http://www.cut-the-knot.org/ctk/Parrondo.shtml

Although I generally agree with your statements I do not appreciate the offensive language you use. I think you are a genuine and bright guy, however you should express yourself with more cool. Please do not lower yourself to the level of the average ET barking. Try to deliver your knowledge in...

The IB's implementation of FIX can be synchronous because it could ensure no possibility of receiving a message back that is not in the order with the event (request). The asynchronous nature of their API stems from the messages timing (as in any duplex asynchronous system) that is influenced by...

Well, now that we are a public company we had a chance to rebuild our somewhat aging system. We are in a process of building the room with a lot more visual effect including transparent screens, virtual reality goggles and 3D. Once we are done I'll post the pictures. Should be fun! I have been...

Most people do not usually understand Taleb's message. They treat his conclusions literally. However, the philosophy of "unknown" as well as the concept of "random" escapes 99.99% of people as we (humans) are not fit to fully comprehend those concepts. Naturally, inability to understand true...

It is synchronous and stable

There are two types of connections that IB supports: A standard FIX and their API. The API (especially the activeX based one) has a lot of problems and will never provide you with reliable info about your open orders and positions. There are many flaws in it. However the FIX protocol based...

Why not use FIX connection to IB? It removes the problem you are experiencing.

Unlike many traders here I think that Gold is well positioned to crash. I also think that EUR is ripe for puts :cool:

My group has been making 5.34% a month on average for the past 12 years with no losing months on some substantial capital (not huge capital, but not a small account either). The reason why we were able to do this - WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN BULLSHIT! . And what I see is going on right now is 100%...

It's just a beginning.
