In TOS paper trading you'll get filled wherever you set the limit between the bid/ask. Be careful of this because it's overly optimistic and can make you think you're a genius trader.

Pattern matching is a nearly perfect application for GPU analysis.

Are you using delta for moneyness or a more complex formula?

I've done quite a bit of quant experimentation and found the FFT by itself to not be all that useful. One thing I recently discovered was that the FFT can be used to *greatly* speed up autocorrelation and cross-correlation algorithms. A standard autocorrelation implementation works but is quite...

And dentists, hair stylists and taxi drivers.

Always be very skeptical of what you read and hear in the news. Big hitters like JPM don't like the idea of being bypassed by technology and will spread FUD through the MSM to undermine it.

Well, the maximum number of BTC is 21 million but the $ based market cap is almost meaningless since it's truly intangible. At least you can physically hold gold. Still it's an interesting point that owning just 1 BTC gives you a measurable piece of the pie.

When the price on anything shoots up suddenly people are asking if they should be in it but they're almost always too late. As pekelo points out you needed to be buying back when nobody was talking about it. Clearly a bunch of Chinese buyers were aware of BTC and were ready to buy at the first...

As someone pointed out earlier we don't elect a dictator, we elect an executive. A socialistic president can't impose socialism, only legislators can. An anti-abortion president can't ban abortion and neither can congress since it's settled law. Hot button issues are used to score political...

OK so why are you asking this?

Wasn't it "chicks" for free?

Millennials? It probably depends on how much they owe in student loans.

I don't believe that popularity is a suitable metric for applicability. My current company and the 2 before that (spanning 12 years) all use Linux in their shipping products. If you want a stable, totally customizable platform then Linux is the way to go. MSFT and AAPL products are great for...

There's no upgrade deadline on Linux systems. Plus, your Windows-only app may very work using Wine under Linux.

Do you have a trading system that you know works and you're positive it can be completely automated (i.e. no discretion)? Are you a programmer? Do you know a programmer who specializes in automated trading? The decision to automate trading is huge and cannot be taken lightly.
