    Madoff story smells funny...

    Medallion doesn't have any outside investor. They're only hurting themselves, if it was a scheme.

    Characteristics of a Successful Trader

    Gawd... This thread is sounding like a self-hypnotic crowd. I have to be... I have to be... I have to be... I am... I am.... I am.... ... Seriously... You guys sure have a lot of self-doubts and insecurities don't you. All you guys know how a ride a bike or drive a car...

    I draw a crap load of lines, will it work?

    Wow!!! This reminds me of myself when I first started... Analysis-paralysis. The perfect term for this thread's OP. OP must be a Radiohead fan... "House of cards" FYI

    Why aren't there more Billionaire traders?

    They move offshore and the public never hears of them.

    Characteristics of a Successful Trader

    For marketing purposes. I think I know about them, more than you do.... At least for Kingstree, I know, for a fact, that the traders think Brett's an annoying mofo. I haven't been in touch with their traders for a while but a while back, they used to have a video camera on top of you while...

    Open Source Black Box Trade Platform in C#?

    Like I mentioned, good luck with the project. I just want to publicly clear that I don't use, endorse, support or in anyway involved with TickZoom. As traders, as we all knew, we all deal with limitations. Limitations caused by market conditions Limitations caused by the cost of...

    Open Source Black Box Trade Platform in C#?

    After joining this discussion and exchanging PMs, I'm getting a bit skeptical about this project... As always, I end up doing shit on my own. Time to work on improving my tick engine. Seems like there's a lot of things I can do improve performance... Anyways, I'm out. And it's my loss...

    Characteristics of a Successful Trader

    A successful trader doesn't give a fuck about these psychological BS. What are you trying to be? A saint? Join the church rather than a trader if you think all this is true.

    Open Source Black Box Trade Platform in C#?

    The exceptions you put in is very dangerous. This is coming from a guy who's traded "for" LEH (siginificantly before their fall out). You want the Exceptions as an Exception to do what's appropriate when deep shit happens, which happens quite frequently... This happens frequently than what...

    Forget about collaborative data, for now. 1. A lot of us, pay(paid) and store enough historical data. It's hard to imagine any mediocre system trader requiring what's required of them in their business. Not being able pay for their minimum requirement makes me skeptical. 2. Stick to...

    NOW... This thread is starting to sound like a bunch of losers trying to get a piece of grandpa's inheritance... GR. Be greedy. There's plenty of people who's looking solely for a damn good tester. I'm one of them, if I can cut my model testing time for my trading, let's say 10%, I'm...

    GR, 1. The performance numbers you posted are impressive. It's faster than what I have. 2. Stick with your original plan. And keep all the ownership. Look at this thread with all the people trying to have a say in YOUR project. You should now realize that there is a high demand for...

    Hrmmm... I actually agree in an odd way. (Funds won't be leeching like what you mention. And FIX is easy. I'm too lazy now to learn another broker's API, that's why I learned it...) First off, I'll never use TickZoom. Obviously, I'm perceived more on the Quant side than retail even...

    Combining multiple systems

    You keep on making all these dumb comments... It's actually surprising. So what's going to happen under a losing trade? All you're doing is increasing the risk... Dude... I take back all the stuff I've wrote about you being a retard. Seriously... everytime you post, you continue to go dig...

    Are you trying to make all the retail people happy? or all the professionals happy? There's a difference. A major difference from what I'm reading here... If you want this project to go somewhere, I would ignore everything mentioned in here except for the tick data. Also, separate the...

    If emotional control is one of the most important skills in trading....

    Emotional control or all the psychology shit is all bullshit. It's like the Medieval times where they would sacrifice lamb and people during full moons or all the other kind of ritual and bullshit people run. It's all about the lack in knowledge, experience and clarity towards what people...

    tight stop really work?

    4-5 ticks (pips... etc. etc.) would work if you are comfortable with scratching a trade. All about the entry. 4-5 ticks (pips... etc. etc.) is an major outlier. Seriously... that's what stops are for (you're placing a limit against outliers...) If stop orders are a placed to...

    Combining multiple systems

    Thanks to a Fund Manager in HK, who got a laugh at reading this stupid shit. I'm making my final word... to provide him with more laughs... ... It's a lot more simple. I have two systems as what Corey mentions. Though unrealistic, but sticking to his examples under a single lot...

    Taking 15K to 1 million in 1 year

    I ran a few tests a few years back regarding how long it can take to take a $10K account to a $1M. Last time I checked, I have a 40% chance that I will can. If it's not my money and I don't have any professional obligation to do what's right, I can help you out... Actually... I can help you...
