Low-Latency is a specialized thing. Etrade is not going to set you up with an LL connection! You need a broker that specializes therein, and see what speeds you can afford. Interactive Brokers will get you latency and fills in seconds or high milliseconds. A more expensive broker will get you...

1. Which broker do you plan to use for this project? 2. What algos are you focusing on?

Honda and Toyota to have an EV ready in 2024 maybe 2025. RIP Tesla.

I must say that a young Hillary was a decent piece of @$$.

I run TWS on a Macbook Pro all the time. Why would the CPU matter? It runs on MacOS What is "AS?"

Travel for a fee months after you graduate.

Are you in a colo? If not, forget about LL. Your fills are in seconds... milliseconds if you're lucky. It doesn't matter if your tick to trade is in nanos, and you're using C with assembler-optimized code hotspots on your office rig. You're last in your broker's order queue... and the...

You need to understand two HUGE drivers of demand for these instruments: 1. 120B/month from The Fed and Uncle Jerome. As long as this "artificial" demand continues, prices remain flat or bullish. 2. China. They reinvest US dollars into T Bonds. Massive demand. I don't see either of these...

As long as Uncle Jerome continues to pump 120B/month into the markets, it's up up up to the moon! Markets now are one big bubble, filled with new currency that the Fed is regularly creating. Just stfu about inflation.

And fixed income/repo

Thanks, Baron. That post lays bare the heart of the whole market climate right now! It took me over a year to figure out. Wth is going on? How can we be in a bull market during a global pandemic? There record-breaking unemployment and we're setting new SnP records? This is totally irrational...

Hi, Can you please add posts from Fixed Income into the top feed? I just made a poignant post about Fed purchases to T bonds and would like more exposure. Thanks, Keith

So basically the US Federal Reserve is creating money, buying US Treasury bonds, creating artificial demand, and keeping rates down. USD120B per MONTH flowing into Fixed Income markets. THIS is at heart... THIS is why we're in a bull market during a global pandemic... THIS is what will cause...

A few things most don't realize about being a Programmer: 1. The buck stops with you. If your code doesn't work, it's on you--your bug. There's nowhere to hide. It takes a certain amount of guts to put your code out there to process real data. You must have confidence in your code. 2...

Yeah for over ten years now. I like the actual programming. The long hours, maintaining buggy code that's been in place for years, dismal architectures made by those who don't understand data structures, and general disrespect all irritate.

Yeah it's brutal... some managers will give you a big project on a Thursday or Friday and expect it on Monday. If you try and bill for the time they'll let you go.

StreetSmart online for me

I think that work is healthy, and would like to work way past retirement age. It becomes a problem when it eats up too much time; when people become "workaholics," or work starts to affect one's health. My vision for "escape from the rat race" was always a reasonable job, where I work 40 hours...

Be aware that some areas of the world are raging with COVID. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/22/world/india-coronavirus-record.html I'm sure that Biden & Co. are watching closely. There is potential for tightening of restrictions in the U.S. From a market perspective, this has a direct effect...
