    Major IB TWS Bug...

    Mine has been very stable lately. I've had IB for years and years. I'd say about 99% of any (serious) problems I've had are the result of a crappy ISP (satellite), or my own screwups. Yeah, most of us would be very happy to only have to upgrade once a year, if at all. Probably the...

    Has anyone backtested an inverse stock_trad3r strategy?

    That's pretty good, but there is another guy who is a tremendous fade - BlueStreek. I made an indicator called the "BlueStreek Collective Reverse Averaging Procedure" or BS CRAP. When Blue makes a call, just do the reverse. It doesn't matter if you average in because you know you are gonna...

    annaland's song of the day

    Open your MIND, LS!!! (you have one, right?) You'll enjoy different kinds of music. You'll actually be able to trade, at long last. And you will finally lose those homosexual tendencies and become a real man, like the rest of us. Give it a try! :D

    IT engineer compensation in a hedge fund

    Pretty funny. My first printer was an old IBM Selectric-style "golfball" printer I converted to run off a Z-80 computer. Somewhere around 1980? Sure made a racket, but it worked!

    Make fun of this!

    Okay. I'll make fun of it! :p ...The S&P 500 gained 7.1 percent to 822.92, its biggest increase since Oct. 28. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 497.48 points, or 6.8 percent, to a five-week high of 7,775.86... Just kiddin' Who'd a thunk we'd tack on an instant 7%??? Good...

    I secretly hate rich people, but also hate poor people.

    Bull by Night, Bear by Day Is Best Strategy, Goldman Sachs Says

    Still seems bogus to me. It tests to be slightly positive over the last 16 years, but just barely. Here is buying 1000 shrs of SPY at Close, Selling the next day at Open, penny a share commish (yeah you can do better now, but in the real world things always cost more, somehow...), no slippage...

    Bull by Night, Bear by Day Is Best Strategy, Goldman Sachs Says

    Only data I had went to '97. I pulled my post because my data includes the night session. It might work, but if you add in realistic commission and slippage?

    Naked Short Sales Hint Fraud in Bringing Down Lehman

    Strange that Bloomie didn't interview/credit/mention Byrne and deep capture...or our very own flytiger. Dose guyz have been beatin' the SEC on the head for YEARS about this. :confused:

    Trading from west coast sucks

    I actually love the PST trading. I have to get up around 5am, but I do anyway (since I'm a 50+ old f*ck ...) I can setup my trades before work and on days off if I trade, I can turn the screens off at 1:00 and be done for the day. Works for me. :)

    Sailboaters and ocean gurus inside

    Good idea about the prop. Most props on boats like an 18 don't use a shear pin anymore AFAIK. At least mine doesn't (18ft Searay/w 150 merc and ss prop). They have a rubber hub cushion setup but the problem is, if you hit something and it spins the internal rubber bad enough, the prop will...
