It's just unmoderated. Any @sshole of any sort can, and does, infest any thread. I'm an advocate of everybody learning to spot psychopaths and driving them to a homeless state, not telling them how to make money...

Wait and see, a law might be passed that any university doing research in that area might lose all it's public funding. That is what happened with Cold Fusion.

interesting video. I'd say that the downgrade changed lots of things, probably the correlations of instruments. It's very easy to find correlated instruments, some quality time with Excel can do it. Knowing why they are correlated takes a bit more work. Figuring out things when they stop being...

What happened to people on picket lines beating scabs with baseball bats?

funny post by the OP.. I guess he's not a conservative? So my two questions to the OP, and it's the same questions we've been trying to get answers to for decades: 1) How is the Left going to pay for all the programs? 2) If people on the Left are so smart how come they are not wealthy?

377OHMS is picking on me! I want some special privileges!! I want access to his bank accounts via a political process.. somebody pass a law so I can have some of his money!! I had some fun turning the left's thinking against some leftist bitch. She is all for raising taxes on landlord's to...

yes, many brokers won't but IB manages OCO orders for you. With some products your bracket can reside with the exchange and others only a limit order can reside with the exchange, it's complicated...

401k's started in the early '80's and everybody bought stocks. Deregulation and Government interference in the loan approval process put psychopaths in situations that they could really capitalize on.. Now nobody trusts Wall Street and nobody is reregulating so there 'ya go.

It's the topdog/underdog game. The underdog wins. Women said they were the underdogs in the Corporate world, still do. They got paid less so that made them the underdog. They work cheap! That bought their way into 60% of the leadership jobs in American Corporations so far! Gays were...

Global Warming? Didn't they rename it Climate Change and then it sort of went out of the news?

The trading day in CA ends about lunchtime for many workers. If one is working full time and has a working strategy for guessing the direction of an expected gap one can trade without interfering with work duties. Put in an entry order at lunchtime and exit the following morning on the gap +...

Before HFT funds didn't beat indexes... Individuals, trading their own money, have great potential to beat fund managers. The incentive is great to trade smart and a group is less intelligent overall than it's most intelligent individual. Think of this scenario: You work for a HFT outfit. You...

Israel uses assassination to prune it's enemy's networks. They have all those crazies that hate Jews for neighbors, they have to do something. It's better than all out war.. if they had all out war Israel would be taxing the entire ME after a couple of months, the US can't have that now, can...

I had replacement lens put in my eyes. They are fixed focus at long distances.. but ye godz and little fishes, I have to change my glasses for close up work between about six pairs I have and it's driving me nuts.. I'll get some of those newfangled thingies...

Our rights are not gone if we won't put up with violations. I know some guys that had great successes in getting cities to reduce "excessive fees" and got crooked cops and judges fired to the point where the courts in the Antelope Valley had to bring judges up from Los Angeles.. They...

Openquant is just a gateway product to the rest of their services. You get your stuff working on openquant and then you have a path in case you get into the bigtime... What's wrong with dependencies? If platform costs are a deal killer then there is something wrong with your business plan...

China and their entire region are making preparations to stop using the dollar as the reserve currency. If, and it's a big if, but if they actually step up to the plate and do that it will be a big step towards the US losing it's benefits from the reserve status of the dollar. China will sell...

I had the idea to implement a website where people could rate the companies they have worked for. Any thoughts on that? I'd love to have a resource like that were I jobhunting. Quality employers would benefit and workers would benefit by knowing what they were getting into. Employment...

Maybe using the FIX interface is the answer. Openquant sort of represents the professional level of software to me, they implement the full fix interface on every simulated trade. It slows their software significantly but they have the simulated annealing feature which makes a backtest with lots...
