Whatever it is... ET has a trauma against quants. Quants for most in ET is someone who does more than technical analysis. I'll re-ask the original question: If they were great traders, why don't they just start their own hedge funds? All replies can apply to traders as it was...

I use Office 2007. It's solid. I use Visual Studio 2005 and currently refactoring codes for .NET 3.0. It's solid. I use Win Server 2003/2. The performance is solid. Microsoft isn't going down. I especially like the new .NET 3.0 Framework. SOLID!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_Event_Processing Complex Event Processing, or CEP, is a technology for building and managing event-driven information systems. CEP is primarily an event processing concept that deals with the task of processing multiple events from an event cloud with the...

??? What do you mean by you're a prop trader, when you are talking about either Holds and Assent? Aren't you "thinking" of going prop.? I maybe wrong, but just talk to the IT guys at "your" firm... if you have a solid "in-house" track record with those firms, they should be able to help...

Based on the posts/reply... I'll drop down my advice, without being too technical/quantitative. Issue of trailing stops and taking profit is 2 different issues. In a "very simple" insight, the target is mainly a valuation standard... the issue with trailing stops are valuation plus the...

:confused: The front end API is the same with stock or forex... and I have personal experience using both MB's API and their FIX. :confused: :confused: :confused: Can you elaborate more? Maybe post a snippet of codes...

From my understanding of CEP, there seems little value as rosy mentions. It's a fancy way of saying: Dynamic Correlation Analysis Intermarket Behavorial Pattern Analysis These have been around the days of Bayesian Processing and Machine Learning. They've been around for over 10...

Zone Alarm will do the job.

??? Study English because I don't understand your question. MB has one of the easiest API to program and platform to trade under.

Haven't used Genesis, but getting an alternative ID will do. Can have potential problems, though. For example: Let's say you have a limit order that you placed via FIX. You alternate the FIX generated limit order on the broker's proprietary platform manually. A well thought out broker's...

1. You never promise, anything, for a fund. I, almost, got in big trouble when one of the marketing guys "promised" a return to a prominent investor. Fired the guy for acting stupid. Anyways, never use the word, "PROMISE". Seriously, they can sue you for fraud, even before they invest...

Options tick data!!!!! How big do you think the data would be? I only know 3-4 people in ET who has the resources to deal with that amount of data. Nothing wrong with asking but still, it's naive...

Learn to trade discretion. I've never met a profitable system developer (self-taught or quants with Ph.Ds) who can't manually enter orders (aka. FOLLOWING RULES). The issue, is you have to be risk-tolerant. ======================================= In terms of a simple trailing stops...

I was never a clerk in the Merc, but had an office in the building for quite some time, and got friends who are/were clerks and locals. ES rules the floor. There is no indication the floor can drive the Minis. The main trend in the floor has been arbs for quite some time, especially...

I'm really not sure whether they'll raise their rates or not. But going public does allow them to change the way things are ran. One thing sure is that, they are having plans of expanding their business, if not they wouldn't be going IPO. So what is IB missing, which made the firm decide...

All of you are missing the point. Think of all the p*ssy he'll get. It's so easy... 1. He drives up to a restaurant around closing time. 2. Ask them if they know a good bar / clubs to hang out at. 3. 90% of waitresses / bartenders like to go out drinking after work. Most of the...

The definition of a great / good trader is very subjective. But from my universe, a good trader is someone who has the balls and ability to trade size. Being profitable is a bare minimum. Returning xxx% or $yyyy amount comes later because you wouldn't be trading size if your performance...

I've been trading for over 10 year. This market isn't close the 1990s. What are you talking about?

Unbelievable... A guy who has no IT vulnerability and trying to trade.... Is this the early 20th century? Mind as well try calling a broker to fill an order.
