Can you shed some light on why you have to send so many orders? Is it because you send orders for hundreds of instruments in expectation of a huge move (or someone's mistake)? Or is it because you modify the price of a stop or limit order very often? There may be ways to cut the number fo orders...

From what I have seen I wouldn't call the vast majority of comments concerning women "bashing". Disrespectful, yes - like comments concerning anyone and anything on forums without strict sensorship. What suffers from excessive "bashing" is the conventional type of relationship as promoted in...

Another issue to look at is whether this may have any effect on rights of existsing and future investors. When you give special terms to the people who invested in the fund on day one, it's a common practice they get preferencial terms, which will not be available for investments in teh fund...

At 19% lost away 1% drom funds being pulled out, maybe. However, at 10% loss any dollar the manager makes on 20mln goes to the manager's pocket (as recouping losses but whatever). It's very advantageous situation to be in because the role size of capital shouldn't be underestimated. If a...

Tom, can you give a few examples of common flaws that make proftability unachievable by design?

Regarding just getting 10x leverage, ask your prime broker and a few others. If prime brokers wouldn't give 10x leverage, I can't see why anyone else would... unless, of course, if you are prepared to pay some seriously crazy interest. The good things about the deal: 1) Running a 20mln fund...

Bolimomo, I'm sure you appreciate, that with 1920x1080 resolution in 18 inches you need higher number of pixels per inch than 98% of desktop monitors provide. Samsung LD220G is an inexpensive quality option but it's probably 3x as havy as you want. An unconventional option would be to get...

It's pretty heavy (due to the battery mostly), teh screen resolution is way too low for the screeen size, you can't use it as a monitor (nless you "jailbreak" it and intall unauthorised software, which won't make it a "fast" monitor anyway). Finally, it's way too expensive for the paltry screen...

I can't disagree more strongly. In self-employment, yes, skill matters. A typical path is a person works for a while as an employee, gains a few skills. Then the former employers may hire him or her as a consultant (that is higher-paid... but temporary worker unless you are a medical doctor)...

Nor do most salespeople. However, retail margins make up 40% - 60% of a product price in a shop or even on the internet. So, what you would be saying is the added value in entering the price in a cash machine and counting the cash (or packaging the product and attaching a label) is ordinarily...

You are barking up the wrong tree dude. As a forein citizen you can set up a company in a low-tax state like Delware and bid for stocls as a company. You can even get to be taxed on all company profit as a person. If you can't afford it, then (surprise! surprise!) no one cares... except...

Hi, to start with, I am not a lawyer quilified in California and have no idea of the merits of the case. Nor am I a tax expert. So, any advice I provide should be considered as common-sense approach of an (educated) layman. First, class-action lawsuits are driven by lawyers. It is the lawyer...

I am not even sure which manufacturers win... Imagine DisplayPort spiltter that allows streaming a differnet picture to 2 DisplayPort monitors that don't have an internal splitter. The chip costs $10 in a bulk of 10,000. Now add a 5cm cable, a plastic box, a few capacitors... and you are...

I am just puzzled regarding people who are buying all those routers with a "WAN" plug. Does everyone alraedy have a few ADSL 2 modesms in working condition? (Note: most modems that come from Internet proividers are either USB or contain a wireless router already.)

DD-WRT is not an option for people whose broadband provider uses an (older) PPPoA connection type. DD-WRT doesn't support PPPoA as it is supposed to be handled by a modem. Now, how many of you people have a separate modem and a separate router? I came to a large shop that sells computer...

At the risk of sounding like a newbie, what are the advantages of C# implementation over C++/CLI? The latter preserves C++ syntax but, I understand, produces a pure .NET implementation. Is the main reason that libraries in C++ don't use .NET containers such as arrays and strings?

I should read the thread again for more pearls like this.

That's very interesting story... Are you referring to Joan Ginther, who is mentioned in the article?

It's certainly not something they give to the customers. Even "real-time" data from IB isn't tick data.
