It's not really the data, it's the trading PLATFORM and the features it supports. The language is irrelevant. Anyone attempting to build their own trading platform is really undertaking a monumental project IMHO. Even having the IB API is just a starting point. There is no doubt that...

Perfect. Ask John Paulson who did a lot of homework before going "all in" before the subprime debacle became front-page material. That's the key....anticipation. That being said, PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Paulson has now made a bad bet...

This makes sense....and of course leaves you with a really small sample size of backtested trades. And this is not good in forward tests which may be live (real money). I think you've got to optimize the number of trade opportunities with a cut-off at the low end. Too many trades = high...

IMHO: NO. Reason: these companies still have mombo strong FUNDAMENTALS...and what's this: Earning's season coming up ! You could be standing in front of a freight train.

Exactly. Epiphany's likely NOT bankrupt....they just took the money and RAN ! If enough traders are involved, this is still definitely pursuable via FINRA.

Better move fast. I hear he is moving to Panama.

Not recommended unless IB tech support has endorsed this release. Even minor release changes in Java can reek havok on an application. I've always felt this way about Java: the release the application was COMPILED ON should match the release it is RUNNING. Compile version = runtime version...

All of this delta adjustment comes at a hefty price of commissions. And don't forget, you could really get whipsawed with this approach and have to adjust almost daily in a volatile market. This safety of course will penalize your profitability....and confirms the capital market theory of the...

This is just another Niederhoffer-like story of selling premium. It's GREAT till it bites you. That being said, at least you weren't naked, and that would explain why you still have an account. Funny as it seems, getting a menial job at this point just might be your best remedy. After 6...

This morning TBT bounced like a super-ball off of 18-even...despite the rout in equities. This could be "the sign". Of course, that was a 52 week low.....

She does look like Jessica Alba, no ? (I'm great visually with face recognition)

15 would be a new worldwide recession coupled with a Greek default. Not saying it cannot happen. I definitely could.

Wait ! is that last pic on page 435 Jessica Alba...or a look alike ? Whew.....

Good question and it was likely only because he could afford to go there. Apparently this guy has a pattern of thinking that is contrary.....and that is why he can garnish those huge returns.

He is one wild-assed character !!

Well guys, Friday's rout of equities ONCE AGAIN had TBT cratering as money poured into Treasuries. Is this the last "hurrah" for bonds ? I think so. All of the bond shorties have been so "smoked"....and that is a great precursor to the move up in interest rates from all-time historic lows...

A few comments, but first, back to market basics: 1) Current price reflects all known information; there is no systemic mis-pricing. 2) no one trader can significantly affect market prices in the long run. That being said, everyone thinks the algos have proven the capital market theory as...

That's an interesting thought. In the early days of Java, some programmers had created de-compilers that effectively produced Java source code from Class files. I don't think there is something out there like that today though. And even if you had the Java source for TOS, it would still need...
