    Madoff is under house arrest, but they haven't pulled his internet connection. Figure it this way: What has he got to lose?

    Advice on Multi-day strategy systems development

    You question here is regarding InvestorRT. The answer is yes, so long as you save the software when you quit and restart. Obviously if you don't save the data, it can't property calculate. But you can also set up automatic saves periodically in case you have a system failure. Think of...

    Eurex Newbie Questions....

    I trade a couple ES systems that I feel may do well with DAX and/or EuroStoxx. But a couple questions for those of you into Eurex. 1. What are the trading hours in the U.S. Eastern? 2. Are there any problems with spreads, assuming I am not scalping large contracts? 3. I had heard...

    How to make money trading in this market?

    A fool and his money are soon parted. Interesting - and sad - that the OP has posted a question, then ignored all the best advice that those with a head on their shoulders bothered to take the time to post. Enough said.

    Is it possible to short your own stock?

    Of all the lame ideas I have seen here on ET - and believe me I have seen a lot - this is near the top of the list. If you're going to place a bet against yourself - and pay a commission and spread to do it - you really need your head examined. Because this is nothing more than a...

    building the system

    You will find that commissions and slippage are definitely a factor with that number of trades. So don't buy the Porshe until you are realistic about that. You don't mention the type of system, but you can assume that yes, your system will probably not perform in a normal VIX environment...

    Fiat and Chrysler sign alliance plan

    Yikes! Can you imagine a car manufactured by Fiat and Chrysler? Will it make it out of the dealer's lot and around the corner before it rusts?

    Its -8 right now here in pittsburgh

    It was the first I've seen. And their bite is not really all that bad. Because I live in an area built next to a desert preserve, many of these little critters could have been built right into the homes. They've been here a few hundred million years longer than we have. I've enjoyed...
