    Outrage: Virginia abortion bill sponsor saying plan would allow termination up until birth

    A majority of people are appalled by what passed in New York and the bill proposed in Virginia. This is going to be a winning issue for Trump in 2020.

    Adventures in Automation

    My approach is to first come up with a thesis of market movement (i.e. Breakout, mean reversion, etc) and then determine the technical or price conditions that MIGHT profitably model my thesis. I let the software/machine test the various conditions that I determined might make up a strategy...

    Attention....Could I have your attention please!

    This could be the basis for some strategy ideas. For example, perhaps fade a down move in after hours with ES and take advantage of the upward bias and exit at the open.

    They are unique strategies with different strategy conditions. Not a few strategies with different strategy parameters.

    Thanks for the kind words and thanks for letting me know about Adaptrade! The app looks very sophisticated. It is feature rich and a good product for someone wanting a fixed feature set. The one thing that is missing from all of these similar products is a lack of ability to strategically...

    Straight answers please. Estimated taxes: yes or no

    This seems like a good way to avoid scrutiny. Plus, how likely is the IRS to go digging to determine exactly when the income occurred? Unlikely unless there is something else on your return that will trigger an automatic red flag.

    Another possible removal of golden handcuffs

    That is a funny rant and fairly accurate. I have been in some situations similar to what you describe. It is rare to be in a situation where both engineering and management are highly functional. That being said, having full freedom to write software to solve problems you are interested in...

    FasterQuant integrates with algoterminal. It is not a replacement. I would not say it easier or harder. Two different tools for different problems.

    This Hedge Fund Blew the Doors Off in 2018

    He is smart to be targeting software companies. Building and selling software can be an amazing business. The software company I worked at for 13 years experienced amazing growth when I first started in 2005 but then made a few strategic bad decisions and then growth stalled. A local software...

    What I built is a research application that integrates with existing ATS applications (AlgoTerminal, Sierra Charts, etc). My code does not live trade and I have no interest in a web based Saas model. That would be a huge undertaking that I am not interested in.

    Trade is looking really good here. I suspect we are going to break the recent high on 1/18 and make a run for the 200 day SMA.

    Groups of them are highly correlated as expected. That is why I have a risk control component which limits the amount of concurrent positions across strategy groups.

    Yes...for now. I have not decided yet if I am going to expand into other markets. At some point I might want to trade OPM and am wondering if it is better to have a focused approach.
