    Frosty Strategy Development

    Hrmmm... that's true... I'm a moron... I'm not smart enough to know, before hand, if ideas are good or not. What do you suggest for Frosty? - Should he not test and do exactly what everyone tells him to do? - Should he start running tests that he has no objective knowledge about?

    Frosty Strategy Development

    You're starting off wrong. The actual system/model like entry... exit... stops... position sizing risk management... etc. etc. comes in a lot later. Hint: Which contract/symbol(s) are you going to be trading? Why is choice of contract/symbol(s) "favorable" for you to be trading it? TEST...

    seeking mentor in HK

    I was in Hong Kong a few months ago for business. Considering the HK mentality... I doubt there are prop. firms you can committ to in this area. Also, I've lived in Sydney for a few months for a small business thingie. There's quite a few Hedge Funds operated in HK. You would be better...

    Why predict?

    Watching and talking to 100s of traders, regardless of retail, prop. or institutional... I think people predict or get all emotional because they fear the uncertainty of the market. More like they're own defense mechanism... Some use emotions and get pissed to deal with it. Some try to...

    Tsunami Trading

    What's really different with these vendors and guys in ET making calls and giving immature advice in ET? Seriously... there's plenty of snake-oil... mentor wanna-bes in ET... Charging for a exhausted trading model is equally guilty with giving incorrect insights or information (immature...

    Grantham Says Hedge Funds, LBO Funds to Collapse

    Regarding the current legal system... there's not much the "concerned investors" can do. Most hedge funds are regulated under an offshore jurisdiction. But... what can be done is cracking down on the marketers and incubators who live in the US, collecting cash for these funds by investigation...

    Grantham Says Hedge Funds, LBO Funds to Collapse

    I have to agree to a certain point. There's way to many hedge fund that is starting up without the necessary skills to survive. The hedge fund industry is way different from the mid-1980s or the late 1990s. It's a lot more easier to startup a hedge fund now than ever along with how easier...

    Server Based System Development for Automated Trading

    When you mention server based... are you planning on having the ATS server hosted by the exchange or the broker? Or are you just talking about getting a 10+ server farm racked up at your home/office? Another question is how comfortable are you with the IT stuff? More-so, what's your...

    Market data via TT FIX?

    Generally speaking... FIX messages are relatively longer than API messages. In this case, you will be using 35 = X (MarketData-IncrementalRefresh). Size is usually 200 or so. A usual TT-API Quote message is about 1/2 - 3/4 of a typical FIX msg. That said, FIX is not the answer to...

    What does it take to succeed as a ATS trader

    I agree on most of what's written. Well... 1 - I sort of agree. Obviously, I'm not as competent in this field compared to you. Though... talking from a purely model development point-of-view, the MF theoretical models require "significant" amount of tweaks for it to be applicable in real...
