Exactly. No Armageddon at this time. Lehman won't happen in Europe....the leaders there are too strong.

Ok guys, I've check-out Tradelink and have come to the conclusion that it's like most open source software: no documentation, requires tons of time learning it's nuances, proprietary changes made may cause problems with any future changes to the core architecture, etc., etc. For someone with a...

Mr. Tradelink - can you respond to the questions on the docs and the latency ?

My take: NO. I think the nadir is coming up in October/November. After that, I'd be hugely long US equities and short treasuries via long TBT bets.

Isn't it obvious that the corps are getting away with murder ? After Tyco and then Enron ? Then the outrageous compensation packages with golden parachutes ? I still come back to the deal received by Bob Nardelli, previously of the Home Depot. That's a true "head shaker".

I'm with you on that....and so are all of the large investment banks....they are all into algorithmic trading in the Forex markets especially. At one bank: 1/2 million tickets per month !!!

Hmmm....I didn't see that disclosure on their website. Are you indicating that portions of Tradelink use components where the source code is not divulged i.e. "extensions" ?

Besides the above issue, what about these other issues: 1) technical documentation - I didn't see much. I was hoping there was more than the typical open source software where the source code is the only documentation. 2) latency: execution or data feed Are these being monitored and more...

This is why the forecasts for parity with the USD may not come true in the near term. Maybe in 3 years.

Peter Schiff was on CNBC today....and just told it like it is: Laws have killed the US labor markets. Period. Gotta remove the laws and the regulations for the labor market to "free up". Right now it's "frozen"....no one is moving out of their job, so there are no openings. Employers fearful...

Nice move up in TBT Today ! Is the bottom "in" for interest rates ?

Thanks guys...but here is one more question: How robust of a platform is tradelink compared to say a Tradestation or Multicharts ? Does it have circular buffers built into all of the datafeed symbols for instance ? I remember once someone comparing 50 lines of easy language with a Ninja Trader...

Anyone coding in this dot-net platform ? I was going to purchase Multicharts and then I saw tradelink....which appears to be fairly mature. Anyone with experience in this platform ? I have excellent EasyLanguage skills, but not that great with C#/dot-net. So appears I would have a long and...

It's very interesting that it supports Genesis (Laser), Blackwood and Sterling. All of these are Prop trading firm platforms.

Dude - I buy all of the HFT books and COMBINED they wouldn't answer ANY of these.....not that they couldn't ! Everything is "hush, hush" in the HFT trading arena.

Very nice analytics you've got going on here. Trading on volume bars of 1000 contracts, eh ? Very interesting.

Regarding Windows 7, has anyone come up with a list of tuning options to minimize O/S overhead for a trading workstation ? Usually this means turning off some services, etc. I am about to move my trading station to Windows 7 from.....Windows 2000 !! Yes, you heard me right. But let me tell...

How can that be given all of this high frequency trading ?

I must say this whole Costa Rica trading idea is intriguing.

Bring em on !!!
