    Thanks for the 411. The trustware seems to have crashed my computer so i'm not recommending them currently.

    my trading system backtest

    Maybe you could model the account growth and shake it up with some monte carlo work. You would then be looking for a number of account models of growth that were close together and all rising smoothly. That is what I call the "comfort zone"... it is the same thing as reducing the std dev of...

    Question about programming languages

    Not sure about compilers but modern assemblers will get you very, very nearly as efficient regarding lines of code and speed as the best you can do by yourself.

    Soo... where we going with this? C++ on Linux is a good way to go? I want a bare bones trading machine, just gets data and works a FIX or the IB API. All the stuff exists for backtesting and charts, etc., already and that can all run on windows as far as I am concerned but my thinking regarding...

    Is Mono the way to go? These open source/donation things can't be the path for serious development can they? I really do want to go the direction of C# and Linux but I want to be able to get things done too....

    OK, then it is not in the comfort zone. At 3:1 and 55% winners it's a grinder, going to be able to put 40% of capital on it and watch it grow an account. But, we don't know if the 3:1 is accurate or the 55%... I don't get it.

    The guys that are going to cash in on the oil are also lenders to the US govt. They make money on the loans, they make money on the oil, the taxpayers get yet a bigger burden and come more under govt. control and dependency.. it all works for them.

    The Ultimate diet!!!!

    I just ordered some organic raw chia seeds. South American Indians still run 100 mile races, old guys with white hair look forward to it and they finish too. It is said they grab coca leaves on the way to keep going but I knew intuitively it takes more than some stimulant to do that and live to...

    and if they are smart enough to do all that and get across the galaxies, why would they then crash here?? They should be smart enough to stay airborne at least :)

    Learn from the fall of Rome, US warned

    I contacted a food supplement manufacturer about his Chinese vector in the formulation. He claimed there were hundreds of suppliers in China and four that supplied independent quality testing and that he bought only from those four. I still don't buy his products... We had the dental industry...

    Learn from the fall of Rome, US warned

    I'm going to learn how to be on the right side of the trade as things collapse. Nobody is going to fix the problem, there are people that want it that way, and they have the means to make it happen.. the USA of tomorrow is today's Mexico. Personally, I have lots of Mexican friends and I like...

    Java vulnerability / Internet security

    I've had Buffer Zone running here for a couple days: http://www.trustware.com/ It is a tad intrusive in small ways, I'm going to set up only the trading computer with it, not the surfing one. I got on the experts-exchange forums and learned a bit about security. I wanted to white list some...

    Launched High Frequency Automated Trading Blackbox

    The wizards set up your environment and give you a framework for your code. I thought that was about as much as a wizard could do really, given the complexities of what has to be coded after that. I'm learning C# and basically, after a week or two I can get things done better and faster then...

    How do you Deal with Missing Trades

    Next step for me is to have different alerts for different events, currently I just have the one. Hmmm ... there are possibilities in this, it could tell me market conditions, etc... Music!! The Jaws track for when things are shaping up a little not-so-good, some marching band stuff for when...

    How do you Deal with Missing Trades

    one other phrase: boredom I can look at an entry signal follwing a setup signal with complete apathy and make excuses regarding why I should not just go do something more exciting.
