    beginner question in options

    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.

    Programming Automated Trading

    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...

    Bitcoin Price Hits New High for 2015

    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.

    Is Bitcoin a better investment than Gold?

    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.

    Is Bitcoin a better investment than Gold?

    Do millennials back socialism?

    POTUS has executive order powers bounded by the Constitution. If he's exceeded his Constitutional powers then the courts can consider cases that challenge his actions. ACA is being challenged in court from multiple angles. The system is working.

    Do millennials back socialism?

    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...

    W7 Deadline Declared... you have until 10/31/2016 to stock up on new W7 machines

    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.

    What is the best automated trading software using interactive brokers?

    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.
