dst - why IB has not tackled this yet? This has been requested few months back. Thanks.

Good point here There are people who regret doing their MBA from harvard, however it is hard to find them because of cognitive dissonance and social issues. First, it is hard to be critical of the choices one makes in their lives. Otherwise, this leads to cognitive dissonance - an internal...

Errata in last line: it should read as: Exceptions would be couple of programs only like Chicago and Wharton.

Lawrence, I am very curious about the gems you might have released in your book. can't wait - can you please post table of contents here? Thanks.

+1 Hype surrounding an MBA program makes it hard to believe above, but mostly curriculum in trading/investment management in top 25 programs is not as strong as you can find in CMU/MIT quant programs. Exceptions would be couple of programs only like CMT and MIT.

Grass "looks" always greener on the other side. :D I want you to seriously answer this: A 2 year MBA will set you back by 150k in tuition and living. Plus, assuming your opportunity cost at 100k per year (salary and bonus combined) would set you back by a combined total of 350k. Meanwhile, if...

I hear NYSE TAQ data is the most detailed covering every single damn change. Of course it won't be useful for you directly since you are talking about CME/GLOBEX products. However, no harm in understanding NYSE TAQ dataset to better understand how exchanges in general send their most detailed...

Yes vicirek please explain it so that we can try to put this in practice. What I mean is please provide a step by step guide. I know I am asking for a lot, but someone bright once said: "Don't be afraid to ask". :)

mabenn - are you looking for solutions in this thread or you just want to tell everyone about your discovery?

I suggest raise a ticket with them officially.

I am curious as to what are the capital requirements to setup a futures only, equities only and a universal brokerage? Maybe someone will setup a brokerage and offer such deals to retail. Regarding you personally, I think more pertinent question is now that you have realized 35% of your PL...

Thanks for the info. Heard about ADF for the first time. On reading more about it, it seems that FINRA through ADF has allowed participants to post their quotes and trades on ADF and it is reflected on the consolidated tape. However, it seems that posting trades and quotes on ADF is not a...

very well put! Also - special credit to ssrrkk for his amazing socio-economic theory.

This is my impression and it got formed due to following: 1) I have heard many seriously successful futures traders trading through Advantage. 2) I have heard their systems are quite robust viz. datafeeds don't blank during high market vol, lightening fast execution etc. 3) Also, the...

Aslan's indicators might be very good. Its just that big mike is not that good. LOL!

+1 couldn't resist giving it a +1. sorry to the guys who like Big Mike (I think there is nothing big about him :D)

Please give example of DMA retail brokers. Thanks. I guess all prop firms like bright, echo would be offering DMA.

You have misread me. I said I think 3x income vs your alternate job income makes sense. I also said that a full time successful trader should make at least 200k a year. If you put these two together, you end up with 200k/3 = 67k per year salary in your alternate career. You would certainly agree...
