Not Ben Affleck, but PTK from TST.. It's just a tour, but some funny stuff in there about getting stuck with a 300 lot, SP/ES arb plays, SPX at 1785 in that video..

Here's the problem with this thread: those who already know the obvious, without knowing they actually know some "special" obvious, aren't going to be able to immediately recognize why said obvious isn't obvious to others. As such it just goes round and round.

One small quibble here. YM and NQ move at different rates to something like ES or 6E so it's not exactly the same. :-)

Multithreaded code will potentially make things faster but you should be telling said programmer to change the algorithm - that's where the real optimization is. Then again I don't totally know what the entire problem space is you're trying to solve. It could be other things unrelated to sorting.

That actually is a serious answer. The market, in it's current state, doesn't just exist to support transactions - it's also there to punish the majority or the gullible.

Tellin 'ya man, "sure thing" gimmicky trades are just waiting to get punched in the face hard. Karen supertrader is an aberration with great timing. I wouldn't be getting into that type of thing in the current climate.

There's fear of loss conflated with fear of being wrong and then there's legitimate fear of loss based on bets that will work out only as long as everything stays lined up but a little voice is telling you "maybe this is too easy." Perhaps you should heed the fear in this case and find plays...

Didn't make any NQ/ES/TF/whatever plays today, just let them do their thing pretty much. Hoping for a bit more decline though to squeeze out more premium from these Aug 108 QQQ calls I sold before Nasdaq went parabolic (hedging underlying saved the day). I did get a pretty nice long entry in GC...

Maybe consider changing your username to Air Guitar? :-)

Yeah 2150, given we were just around 2120, is a pretty weak prediction. The technicals seem to support it as a possibility but they'd also support other possibilities too. Hey guys, SPX will hit 1980 in 5 months!!

The thing I dislike about TT is they keep pounding these "high probability" 1 to 2 SD OTM plays as what everyone should be doing. Their universal answer for fixing things is rolling, and while they "scalp futures" they don't seem to involve much of any directionality considerations in their...

Got long D (Robusta) this morning for a shortish term trade based on short term technicals. Not much being risked. Still waiting for a significant retrace in KC to enter and annoyed about my 2 tick "bottom" miss.

Technically SQL is just a standard for querying. The actual storage of data can be implemented in a multitude of ways. There's plenty of non-SQL and SQL-frontended storage libraries that could also be used (e.g.: BDB) allowing the programmer to have small record overhead and fast access. At the...

Well obviously a DB uses a non-memory based backing store and doesn't store the entire thing in RAM, trust me I understand this and use the technology daily. The point here is the OP wants a solution that is the most computationally efficient for dealing with sorting of data. My point about "all...

I preferred the salmon/magenta. There's not enough contrast with the light background vs light blue background.

No it won't be any different whatsoever. The working set ends up in RAM regardless. Either the buffer/page cache of the DB or in actual memory pages within the process space of R. Indexing only helps if you want a subsection of data and order by is not going to result in magically faster...

That being said, if you do want buy or sell "stops" below and above respectively, you can use MIT or LIT orders IB server side. It's basically a hidden/on-demand limit order in effect.

One possible interpretation: I call these types of things cup and handle like patterns where they commonly retrace from the highest lip down to the 61% fib... this one went past that, but still recovered fairly strongly. It could also be considered IHS-like, although it's not coming from a...

Short ES @ 2079.50 prior to the close.

So how 'bout that market, boys? For once, my VIX futures position is actually green.
