To illustrate the point here is a simple probability exercise. Imagine a trader flips a coin, if he sees tails he wins $100 and if he sees heads he looses $100. This is pretty much how it would work for a trader who just places trades randomly. This assumption ignores transaction costs but...

It's usually "original poster", the person who wrote the first post in the thread.

I guess Gubinec's choice of words shows the lack of mental flexibilty (which is essencial in trading) more than anything else.

You can do exactly the same with Amibroker and Neoticker if you wish.

Remember "the exercise" in Trading in the Zone? Try thinking of your trading as an exercise. The aim is to enter and exit trades in a disciplined way as your system dictates. If you accept the potential loss as "education cost" then entering a trade is much easier. Given it is an exercise the...

I have never heard this term. Can you explain how "shading" works?

Here is a story from FT about how a forex broker MIG became a bank. Here is more light on this. From http://www.migbank.com/resources/faq/faq-trading/ "Due to the difficulties associated with covering such trades, MIG BANK does not accept scalpers" Peculiar for a broker interested in...

My expectation is data feeds that provide historical data for all of the nasdaq stocks far enough into the past would provide data for stocks that are no longer listed. You should be very careful with "ticker change". It could have been acquisition with shares purchased for cash or other...

I guess I "win" as the last poster.

Both Amibroker and Neoticker allow connecting your own indicator/trading strategy code compiled into a DLL- this can be compiled from C++, Delphi, Fortran... or whatever compiler you have for Windows. You cannot just post C++ code within the platform strategy editor (as you can with C# code...

schizo is right! People who want to help won't waste their time posting demeaning comments. Everyone has had their share of bad trades. The only thing people despice is asking for advice and then ignoring it. There are a few people who have nothing constructive to say and only post...

Given the US history of bilateral agreements in opposition to WTO, I would expect the aim of this project is to keep the US outside the global tax and in this way build competitive advantage.

McAffee whitelists Web-sites. The downside you can't build your own exclusive whitelist. You have to use one provided by McAffee.

How many trading applications do you know that run on MacOS on iMac without some kind of Windows emulation? Very few do. If traders want to use specific software they are expected to have suitable hardware. Besides being "cool", iPad doesn't have anything that a laptop running Windows...

There are a few difficulties... But also there are issues with Quadro NVS cards that support 4 monitors (just search the Web, some of the monitors not beigng recognised after reboot seems the most common). USB graphics cards have a mass of their own "gotchas" depending on the model and brand.

12-monitor cards is what makes the news but the most common crads with eyefinity drivers support only 3 monitors. They tend to have different interfaces to each monitor like D-SUB, DVI-I and DisplayPort. They cost under $50 each too. Scataphagos, I think you didn't follow the link in my post...

You misspelled the URL in the body of the post....

Yes... but you there is a transparent interface between NET and native code... The question was regarding writing a tradiong strategy in C++, not the trading platform being written in C++.
