Stanford's Hoover is generally in any Top 3 ranking of institutions Well Thought-Of by 'the Right.' George Mason U. is a *bastion* of well-grounded, rigorously sharpened...

    Advance Trade Management in Sterling pro

    "Eeek!" No help here. If you're trading from a prop, don't they have a resource for you? And I wonder too, about Sterling -- wouldn't there be a help line (or chat room?!?) around somewhere? Maybe even another (institutional) user might have a help resource they wouldn't mind sharing???? Sorry...

    Beyond ATR?

    It don't believe in you, either. But then, you and the ATR both exist -- you're facts, whether you want to recognize each other or not. :wtf:

    where is the volatility for spx?

    I'm on the wrong computer -- but those IV/Historical crossovers have become 'a thing' in the last few months. I'll post a picture later.

    where is the volatility for spx?

    *I* don't. We have a Big Structural Deal going on right now. We're entering another earnings season, and it'll be a (positive) doozey. As e goes up, so will p. How long will e continue to rise?? The U.S. stocks are very much linked to global markets; the global markets are following Europe...

    IB TWS Event Calendar w/o start times?

    Anyone have experience selling technology to hedge funds, family offices, etc. ?

    Notwithstanding a day+week like today, I am in a similar position. I have dipped a toe into the regulatory waters, and have sourced some locals (Indianapolis), and have begun lining more of those ducks in a row. I suspect I am a year out, barring set-backs. (And, occasionally, timelines...
