    I need to lose $5000. (long term capital gains) in order to make over $20,000. Obamacare...

    What you really want is a trade where a loser will total $5000 but an unlikely winner will exceed $23000 plus the tax needed to pay on the winnings.

    Do yourself a favour and watch this video from Anton Kreil

    I actually find how he flaunts his wealth and success entertaining. There is a scene in one of his videos where he and the interviewer are in Singapore and they go for a high end hair cut and then a straight razor shave. Next he is flying first class to New York, reclining and chilling out in...

    Strategy for projecting closing prices

    Trade the strategy yourself and build a track record with it and then explore other options. Having an actual track record will improve your chances greatly of either being able to lease or sell the strategy or to raise capital.

    does it work

    That is like asking..."I have a friend who is really good at playing basketball, is he also good at playing football?" Of course the answer is...we have no idea. We don't know your friend!

    Anyone interested in developing a new trading platform?

    I have been writing software for about 18 years. I can tell you right now this project will likely never get off the ground. It is going to be nearly impossible attracting talented developers to this project given the project initiator (you) really does not have much to bring to the table...

    What has changed since 2008 that caused veteran hedge fund managers to underperform and close shop?

    Here is my take away: 1. Trade multiple strategies 2. Assume that at some point strategies will lose their edge 3. Use metrics to determine number 2 and remove strategies when necessary 4. Have pipeline for finding new strategies 5. Don't get blown out

    Alpha Trading Labs (WSJ article)

    How many HFT shops use Python for their Algos in production? I would venture to say zero. And yet that is the language used by Alpha Trading Labs and they market their platform as built for HFT.

    This just sold for $2,000,000 in the Bay Area

    I paid $269,000 for a 4 bds 2.5 ba pool home centrally located in Tampa, FL 3 years ago. I am 10 minutes from an airport and there are plenty of well paying tech jobs close by. Home is currently worth 300k. Half a million would buy you plenty more home in an even nicer neighborhood. These...

    A firm closely tied to the Trump campaign exploited data from 50 million Facebook users

    The article is a good read. From the article: Robert Mercer was a pioneer in AI and machine translation. He helped invent algorithmic trading – which replaced hedge fund managers with computer programs – and he listened to Wylie’s pitch. It was for a new kind of political message-targeting...

    Machine Learning is the new C++

    Project sounds cool. They talk about automating idea generation which is something I am interested in. The design I have in my head is to be able to classify data sets/indicators and then the machine learning engine "knows" how to test the data sets/indicators based on the classifications...
