The book is no good with all of those omissions. And of course that rascal Bernie Schaeffer was probably paid-off to endorse it. I'll bet he just skimmed it at best.

I think Wilmott is recognized worldwide. They were the first. And Paul is held in high regard (just ask him !)

For those into the female form, check this one out ... in our own "daily hottie" section (orange bikini): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=153585&perpage=6&pagenumber=562 I'm still trying to get her name....and country of origin.

Who's the girl in the orange ? WOW - just incredible.

You are confusing high frequency trading with algorithmic trading....the two are not the same. One moves away from the HFT category when the average time-in-trade goes over 2-3 minutes. That being said, I don't think this is a hard-and-fast "rule", but one must draw the line somewhere. And...

Why , I wonder ? That being asked, I think I know the answer: The intelligent and optimal placing of stop loss orders (and stop entries as well) is the toughest thing to learn. Bottomline: it cannot be taught...ONLY months and years of live trading can provide that knowledge.

I like it ! Especially applies after a string of losing trades....when you to begin to hesitate.

Lots of support for this bad boy (Leveraged Small cap short fund) around 30-31. Sell 10 33 puts $3.50 Buy 10 30 puts $1.75 November expiration Rationale for the trade: This economic environment has just got to be crappy for the small caps.

That's crazy. They've been working on this now for over 2 YEARS....and it's still not right ? Unbelieveable ! Close of the prior period should be the same as the open of the subsequent i.e. current period. For your 5 minute bars, because of IB's omission as stated above, your CLOSE cannot be...

It's down to 120 - DOWN 5 on the day so far....WOW. On a strong index day too.

Of course...that always occurs in markets that close. That's why many traders look at TRUE RANGE. Like I said, this is sort of a test of the data. If the prior close and current open are consistently different, then ticks are being missed or it's an illiquid symbol. In the case of intraday...

...and Hillary hasn't blown Bill in .... YEARS.

The Clintons have always had a "better than you" attitude. That being said, I wish I had Bill Clinton's brain cells.

Interesting post. Suddenly I think this has made C++ obsolete.... big-time.

This is all petty BS when compared to the shenanigans the big corporate boys get away with. Pity our stupid IRS is out-gunned by their smarter tax attorneys.

that is FUNNY...but you know what, that is the kind of stuff Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco International infamy was writing off years ago.... I mean he was outrageous. Now in jail of course.

Gaps in INTRADAY bars Dan ? A common occurence ? Maybe for illiquid instruments/symbols. How about ES ? Ok, ok...even then it could occur....like when Treasury Secretary Baker uttered that infamous word "regrettably": ...respected money manager Monroe Trout describes his ordeal: "January 9...

Of course, and now Yahoo is in the mix with a buy-out. What is keeping this market from going down ? Hope....and lots of cash on the sidelines.....with no place else to go !

Guys - when I complete my current project, I'll rewrite the ActiveX implementation so that it is technically sound. Definitely the check for sound realtime data would be current open = prior close. That SHOULD be the case for reqRealTimeBars....BUT as with everything with this API, no guarantees !

As long as they are not doing something illegal, there's nothing wrong with Trading Academy. I'll tell you what: they have great sales people....I'll never forget my "interview" after the freebie presentation.
