    Navinder Saraho.....recent news: Depending on how much the authorities are able to recoup, he will probably spend the rest of his life paying back the money he owes. If they really want it, they could always lift the trading ban, one associate quips: He’d make it back in no time. Bloomberg

    With spoofing, is there any meaningfulness by eye to the order books?

    With spoofing, is there any meaningfulness by eye to the order books?

    Dude - GET REAL. After the arrest of Navinder Singh Saraho....and he is in jail for his sophisticated spoofing.... the order book should now be more reliable. https://www.livemint.com/Money/TYUUtwYOj0VIPhFFyLICQM/How-flash-crash-trader-Navinder-Singh-Sarao-went-from-genius.html However, that's...

    I think VolPri should join http://www.fundseeder.com. I'd like to see how he stacks up to the competition.

    Of course...Buffet is buying. Why not go with a winner ?

    I understand that idiosyncrasy of the Sharpe calculation....but the example shown had few data points. I doubt Sharpe would be biased when there is a trade sample of 100+. Also, what about Sortino Ratio ?

    Indeed, I've been mentioning "ATIT" (Average Time In Trade) as a major metric. Big difference when ATIT is in days vs. minutes. My backtesting research indicates the lower the ATIT, the better the sharpe ratio.

    But somehow, magically, volpri never gets stopped out. Probably because he has NO STOPS ! From his blotters, he rarely loses more than 1 tick on his losing trades. That is probably by design. But that is no longer the case. Interactive Brokers is at $0.85 per contract...plus CME exchange fees...

    Good strategy.... I am going to do the same. Best to keep the trading machine lean and mean....minimizing the number of background services and applications.

    PDF files are fairly innocuous...albeit they can contain javascript code...which can call libraries of functions which could cause damage...no question about that. This one is safe...I double-checked.

    All I can say is ... beware of "systems" with an extremely low frequency of trading. If they win, it's a statistical anomaly. Not enough data points to be conclusive statistically.

    Bottomline gang: risk and reward are correlated. How many books have been written about that ?

    Indeed, I've already had one: This occurred over 20 years ago when I was trading options in a Brown & Company account (remember them ?). After one huge long option bet that went well (+$10,000), I got tired of losing in my subsequent long options positions. So I said to myself, "why not go short...

    Bug - rich text editor

    I'm using the latest edition of Chrome 64 bit. Has been rock solid. After I logged-off ET, all was well for a short period of time. Now I get "unspecified error" when I post now.

    Bug - rich text editor

    I kept getting "enter a valid message" every time I tried to make a post or start a thread. I had to turn-off the rich text editor option.

    re: "The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing" Indeed a new copy of the original goes for over $300 !! However, there is a variant with a different cover that goes for only $30. I don't understand the difference....if any in the actual material presented...

    I'll have to look up Al Brook. The only thing that bothers me about VolPri's results: he never shows a scratched trade....never. He must be placing a stop 1 tick under his entry.
