Yup the preppy boys can't think past the old centralized control paradigm to their detriment.

Actually the big run-up in USDBTC coincided with the Cyprus banking crisis. BTC was languishing in the sub $20 range for a long time until then. That wasn't greed, it was fear.

I wouldn't say cracks are beginning to appear since it was never a solid thing to begin with. The fact that it's getting so much attention shows a growing distrust of fiat currencies and central banking monetary policy. People are worried and looking for alternatives to protect themselves.

Yup that's the reason. Gave back half my profits on TSLA today *sniff*

Simple police work found his simple crucial mistakes. Nothing fancy. By the way, the exchange rate of BTC with USD fell like 16% at one point as a result of this news.

They outed Freedom Hosting on which many Tor .onion sites were hosted. Tor itself can't be "shut down" since it's distributed. The point I was trying to make in the last post was that normal web site operators may decide to shut down voluntarily to avoid legal action. On Tor .onion sites...

Well, we'll see. There's a big difference between sites operating in the light of day on the open internet and those operating on Tor. Shuttering a normal web site is easy physically and legally. Doing it on Tor is much more difficult.

Interesting how DPR/SR was not caught by any fancy NSA decryption, botnets etc.; just good old-fashioned carelessness brought him down. The end of SR should provide a big boost for SR competitors like Black Market Reloaded.

I'm looking at gretl right now. In addition to having a GUI front end and scripting, gretl also has a separate C library of functions that the GUI and scripting uses. The C library is particularly interesting and relevant to the thread. Among the many analysis functions is the Johansen...

I suggest joining the IB TWS API Yahoo Group. One of the group members maintains a C++ abstraction library for the TWS API that I use in my applications. It *greatly* simplifies app development. I'm not clear why you're limiting yourself to C. If portability is an issue, C++ isn't a...

If you're not 10 years old with a keen interest in programming computers then you'll never really learn . Your question is like asking "how long does it take to learn Korean?" Answer: It takes a lifetime. If you're not immersed in it as a child you'll never really get beyond writing hello...

The equity curves shown on the web site (if they're actually for this EA. who knows.) are highly characteristic of Martingale systems. I've seen this all the time. People get all excited by an equity graph that looks like an inclined plane without understanding the risk. Those downward...

I had problems with one of my older PCs with a DLink wireless NIC. Ultimately I used NDISwrapper which let me use the WinXP DLink driver in the Linux environment. Fortunately that PC is gone now and I'm using something newer with native Linux drivers for my hardware.

Depending on your outlook you could collar it as well. Sell calls to fund the put purchase. It sounds like you're well up the wall of worry, though. Maybe it's just time to sell.

I was able to log in to TWS desktop successfully earlier today and just now.

You have to install Metatrader multiple times on your PC or multiple PCs and run them simultaneously. Each Metatrader instance can only be connected to a single account.

That reminds me of a Liberace quote. :cool:

Hey, he's an investor not a trader. :eek:

Quit being a meanie vibrator. OP: The C# code in my cointegration collection is from vanna's posts on quantcode. Sorry for the false alarm. My observation has been that source code on the interwebs like vanna's is usually written by non-programmers and academics. As a result it's very...

It can't contain malicious code. It's source code. You build it yourself.
