I consider it an IDE because VS Code can be used to run and debug code.

You won't be able to play Fortnite on that rig.

Gm All, I'm viewing BTC futures with the GXBT symbol in TWS (Mosaic). All I see as an option is the index... no link for futures. Not sure why. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Keith

I was thinking of a surreptitious upload, like how all your communications are logged by your ISP [Ref 1] Afaik, the source code for Visual Studio is proprietary, so I can't see if my profitable algos are getting encrypted and uploaded to the Mother Ship. I suppose I could sniff the network to...

With our society now utterly dependent on network, why are these two falling? They are two 800lb gorillas in the networking business. They should be spiking up... it doesn't make sense to me.

They've been taking a hit, but will they keep plunging? - Rates are low, so they make less profit on everything. - Forbearance on payments of all types (rent, mortgage, lease, etc), for both retail and commercial clients have hurt their cash flows - Generally, their lenders are having trouble...

Consider a docking station. Then you get the portability of the laptop for your caffeine-fueled trading sessions at Starbucks ventures, and when you're home, just pop it into the docking station to enable your two big monitors, mouse, keyboard, etc.. so you don't have plug and replug all these...

I need more info on the screen. A big chunk of laptop value is the screen. Is it pixelly? LED? What kind of LED? Max resolution? The video controller says 4GB, but does the screen support that? I always shell out for very good screens, because I stare at them all day. A grainy screen results...

Agreed... up like an escalator, down like an elevator. Effect of a bear market (relative to bull, of course) on the VIX is: - Faster price movements -> - Bigger gaps between prices -> - Larger standard deviations in prices -> - Wider gaps in interpolated prices -> - Higher VIX

Out of curiosity, I checked Delta for a flight departing Newark, NJ to Denver, CO. Sunday night departure... NO FLIGHTS!?

Just what we need... JPM in the digital asset space. :confused: They're moving to gain control of the crypto markets. Next thing you know a crypto data feed will cost $5000 a month

I say trade a very cheap pair for learning purposes, and see how you like it. It's a great way to learn; let the market be your teacher. Watch the prices/spread; understand the why, how, and forces underpinning their movements. 1. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/60979/60979-h/60979-h.htm

Thank you; yes, I mixed up the bid and ask prices. Personally, I don't like paper trading for this particular exercise, because I want to watch how the option moves intraday. I have my live trading terminal running all day--with algos running on port 7496, and can't shut everything down to...

Well, I guess we found out: 1. https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/jerome-powell-speech-transcript-may-13-coronavirus-address 2. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-14/mnuchin-seeks-to-assuage-investors-after-powell-s-gloomy-outlook?srnd=premium&sref=jjnfhs7c

I accidentally sold the call instead of buying it. There seems to be a bug in IB; I will call them tomorrow. It's documented above.

I'm working on a confidential C++ project on Windows, using Visual Studio Community 2019. I'm wondering if MSFT uploads Solutions, Projects, and source code to their servers. Anyone know? Is there any guarantee of privacy with Visual Studio, or is it possible that the blood, sweat, and tears...

I see what could be a bug in TWS? For those with IB, does this happen for you? 1. View the VIX option chain 2. Choose a strike price for a Call (say, 50), and click on the bid price to buy. 3. Note how the order window defaults to "SELL" Anyone else see this?

Thanks everyone... I thought that maybe I sold it by mistake!

I bought one VIX Aug 18'20 CALL for about USD60 just to learn about VIX options. I don't understand why it's acting like a put: its value decreases as the VIX rises, and increases as it falls. Shouldn't it be the other way? My break-even should be positive, based on the VIX value of when I...

I don't like option premiums, and don't like how they expire.
