    Secondary Job Ideas While Trading

    My theory is that if you haven't owned your own business, or had some kind of significant technical or managerial role in business, you aren't qualified to trade at all.... How many great traders came from cushy gov't jobs? none that I know of. I've learned this the hard way - I am a...

    AmiBroker 25x times faster than...

    Stick with Amibroker for your testing. Maybe for executing you could create a program to access an API later on when the strategy is fully developed. I don't see the point in trying to jury rigging other peoples software to do things (I'm speaking of Tickzoom and Openquant here). Amibroker...

    Bankruptcy trend among small firms stuns lenders

    Well I own two Karl, and one finances the other. So I doubt I'd be trading without it. Technically, most small businesses are jobs- Ask Michael Gerber, he wrote the book on it. But given that small businesses create 90% of all jobs in north america, you'd think you'd have a wee...
