    To everyone who wants to quit their job and trade full-time

    Other than the time-of-day, what advantages are there from a technical standpoint of trading the KOSPI futures vs. the ES/NQ/YM contracts ? Especially if you are talking exclusively of HF trading.

    DEBUG.PRINT is your friend: debug.print "reject status=";STIOrderStatus.osSTIRejected Perhaps the code returned is different than your "trap". Also, you are using bad form...you should be trapping with an enumeration. if STIOrderStatus.osSTIRejected = eREJECT_FailedToBorrow Then...

    What Has Trading Given You?

    BINGO. Two observations: 1) Any of you who are 40+ males...and looking for work in the USA...LISTEN-UP: You are the new "niggah"...the minority. All of the corporate "diversity" initiatives going on further this situation. That's right, and it's confirmed by the fact there are no blacks at...

    Spreadsheets-number crunching

    Open Office still way behind Excel. Excel has a superb 10,000 item object model. The open source community would need another millenium just to match it. Also, Excel is totally programmable...either with VBA or via Visual Studio and Dot-Net. Excel 2007 was a dud due to reduced speed, but...

    what is the easiest language for automation?

    Sounds simple, but tough to implement. Excel is STA (single threaded architecture). Nearly all realtime platforms are multithreaded. Funny you mention "old". Everything regard prop platforms is "old"...LOL. Many haven't been upgraded in 5-10 years. That's quite a "tell" into the state of the...

    what is the easiest language for automation?

    The question is somewhat abstract. The language has nothing to do with the trading PLATFORM you are using. It's all about the interop....and the API specs. Example: interactive brokers API. Easy Language is HANDS DOWN the easiest and fastest way to trading system development. It has good...

    Is there a way to set a stop loss when writing naked options

    Well, that's different than old Vic who was selling near-the-money puts....naked. He got hit with two 6-sigma events and that did him in. In your case, you'll be hurt, but not dead. Remember, in six sigma events, no one gets their stops filled at the requested price. The price keeps moving...
