    YHOO

    Under statement of the century. This Verizon - Yahoo deal makes NO SENSE. Verizon sucks enough at customer service...how in the world are they now going to manage both web content and search ? They are totally "out of their league". What a dumb deal. This further promotes the idea of "back to...

    Natural Gas

    If we get a bounce in Natty gas here in the next few weeks, that's gotta be a perfect shorting opportunity. Reason: continued weak demand, especially after the hot summer. Kinder Morgan announced flat earnings despite desperate cost-cutting measures.

    where to find coding gigs for traders?

    The big problem is the huge number of different platforms each supporting their own proprietary API or proprietary language. In the case of Quantopian, you must know Python. In the world of IB, you can use Java, C#, C++, VBA, whatever...but you must learn their API inside and out. Ninja Trader...

    Ackman vs Herbalife

    Yep, time for Ackman to admit his huge loss...and move on. This guy's original premise is no longer valid. His ego has overcome his ability to make logical decisions. He tried to use his "influence" to change the outcome....to no avail.

    "streak" indicator - anyone ever back-test this one ?

    I had the solution, but I wasn't going to share it with you. I had elucidated the problem to exact detail...but you couldn't figure it out.

    What will central banks do to avoid this?

    I like the projection on that chart. The timing of the down move is the key. What's likely to happen is a snow-ball effect...first Great Britain, then Italy, then Germany....all going downhill. Should happen by start of 2017.

    "streak" indicator - anyone ever back-test this one ?

    That's not true...I already asked to come visit your operation, and you said no. I mentioned that to some other algo traders and they said that was a huge red flag.

    Forget the old version of TWS....the API has improved somewhat since that time period....it's been almost 10 years. They've fixed a ton of bugs since then.... Unfortunately, it's a big job doing the conversion.

    Looking to get excel, 2013 vs 2016?

    I think you have a re-write on your hands....unless you want to decifer IB's DDE implementation......and good luck with that. I once reviewed that code and almost threw-up....it was so bad. Another alternative is going the ActiveX route and implementing the tws.ocx component.

    (futures+option) strategy and c# vs easylanguage

    Exactly. His concern :"market closing during trading hours because of some huge event." would only apply in the case of a flash crash. I believe the exchanges have all put in fixes to prevent that from ever occurring again. Now if he was holding a position overnight, now that's a different...
