    Philadelphia Region?

    Probably a hand-full....just like Online Trading Academy in King of Prussia. They've got about 12 traders doing the 100-200 shares "practice" trades.

    I don't see how you reconciled your weekly net profit number. The deltas for each strategy between the weeks do not "add-up".

    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    That's true TODAY, but it wasn't true 30 years ago. At that time we had a much smaller government. Coincidence ? Of course: more government, less free markets.

    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    Exactly. And while we're into this government subsidy / transfer payments bullshit, why not require recipients have the government monitor their checking accounts while they are collecting benefits. Why not ? How many foodstamp recipients are buying filet mignon ? See...if you can't control...

    Wrong code ? Someone explain please...

    Agreed. There's 4 attributes of a HFT system: 1) BIG BET SIZE per trade&position 2) Small wins (several ticks); even smaller losses; short time-in-trade (seconds) 3) ultra low commission and per trade costs 4) many opportunities/set-ups each trading day

    Philadelphia Region?

    Ah.....that was their Berwyn satellite office. I visited when they first set-up last April. He had to finally throw in the towel. I'm not surprised...it was a lousy "deal". Moreover, the software was super crappy. There's also Orion Financial in Wayne...they're most hedge fund executors, but...

    Warning: Online Trading Academy (tradingacademy.com)

    I just returned from their "free lunch" and "pitch". I can concur with the above statement King. However, I was impressed with the presenter's Buying Power in his Tradestation account of $5 million !!!! Was that fake I wonder ?

    That is a sample "time to turn it off" statement. As soon as you start exceeding your backtested worst metrics, time to start thinking about shutdown.

    Slow High Frequency Trading

    I'm not surprised at this, but keep in mind, many HFTs have a terrifically low cost per order and they also have a tremendous SIZE for each trade. That makes their 15 second trades very lucrative. IOW: with their size and commission advantage, they're making $1000's for 15 seconds; we would be...

    Daily Hottie

    Jenifer Connelly. Once "chubby"...this is the result of dropping about 20 lbs. She's like fine wine....and just "mellows" with age. I know we are into bodies, but she's pretty fascinating otherwise as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenifer_Connelly [/b] How bout that "trifecta" of...
