A longer video: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8310530/Handbag-wielding-grandmother-first-interview-somebody-had-to-do-something.html "At first I thought one of them was being set upon by three others. What concerned me was that too many people just stood around watching as...

I was thinking of giving a little bump to this thread... It's not every day someone offers non-commercial mentoring on ET.

Is AmiBroker open source now?

NeoTicker seems to address all of the concerns on this list. From the things that are not immediately obvious on the Demo: 1) Most visual intrerface elements (including even window frames) can be hidden to make the most of the screen space. 2) You can configure a "symbol list" and use it to...

Aha. So, what you are saying is platforms may let diligent strategy developers code these "circuit-breakers" but retail platfroms don't offer "circuit-breakers" as a readily available overlay.

The sreenshot I attached is from NeoTicker. It's one of the indicators contributed by users.

Exactly! The chart shows ATR (over specified number of bars) multiplied by a user-defined constant. Is it the kind of stop, you are saying, is not found in other platforms?

Steven.Davis. all good points! There is one I disagree with though: I believe when you take time and effort to code the whole trading systems yourself, a fair number of platforms allow setting stop to an arbitrary vulue on every bar or placing exit-at-market order. This is about as much...

Are you talking of something like Chandelier stop?

I understand TDA wants to shut down QuoteTracker as a matter of principle... so that QT doesn't compete with their newly acquired ThinkOrSwim platfrom, in the further development of which TDA is going to invest big.

There is no academic consensus on what "Jesse Livermore Principle" is. None of these seem to fit the bill. I have had Reminiscences of a Stock Operator on my desk for a few months now but have always found more interesting things to read, like ET gossip. I'll refrain from suggesting my...

You must be confusing it with Fed :p

Isn't it supposed to keep market makers and investment baks in business?

Actually, quite the opposite. At a certain level spectacular failures improve carreer prospects. Think of hedge fund managers who ran multiple funds into a ground and every time collected even more money for the next fund "because of their experience". Because in the corporate taking risks is...

That's the way of large companies in the US. Because failure within the company is not tolerated, naturally no one wants to take career risk creating something new. Instead, the company has to overpay for stuff which someone has already made a success of. P.S. People who manage small failures...

Out of curiosity, what capital did you join with? Or did you start trading at a bank/hedge fund?

Thanks for a prompt reply! You are welcome! I woudl strongly recommend to avoid C++ unless you are already experienced with other programming languages. C++ requires greater understanding of how computers work. Further, in C++ there are a few types of difficult-to-track-down bugs (such as memory...

Some will make you take classes as a prerequisite of joining as it's the main source of revenue for the firm. Firms that don't require a deposit are few and have strong tendency to hire people with a strong record of success at trading. Take time to read this thread. It will explain most...
