Thank you. I will check it out !

I am not talking about pin risk. What I am thinking is the following: Stock at time t0 has bid 100 and ask 101; the market maker tries to simultaneously buy at 100 and sell at 101; of course, simultaneity is not guaranteed. if the MM bought at 100 and at time (t0+dt) the price has dropped...

I was in school during the Russian default and was not paying much attention. From what I have read from the web, there was no foreign country invading Russia, taking Russian land, looting Russian gold or national treasure or agricultural produce. It seems to me the Russians did a brave thing...

Covered put, not immune to loss.

Any one heard of the tri-alpha strategy? An Internet video claims that Goldman Sachs makes $25000 per Minute with this strategy. Thanks for any comments.

You probably already know, IB API is in JAVA for Linux/Unix. I use Linux and Solaris.

According to Harry Dent in the following video, the US will enter a period of deflation until 2023, and housing and stock prices will fall to pre-bubble levels. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbaBM3pDer0 Comments?

Let's follow this line of thought. If there is no Fed intervention, the market interest rate should be as high as 10 to 20% as in the 1970s. At this interest rate on current national debts and personal debts, our government will be bankrupt and home owners will default en mass. The financial...

Here is the Bernanke's financial war on China and developing countries. The insidious purpose of QE2 can be deduced from the following observations. (1) The national debt is impossible to pay off, not only debt to foreign sovereign countries, but also the larger, internal debt to US...

I have seen comments here and there about elites designed to destroy USA, but the elites are comfortable here; after all, they are the elite. Why would they want to burn down their own house? I believe it is a fundamental shift no one could have foreseen. 20 - 30 years ago, multinational...

My question is, since these American elites enjoy their status because USA wields great economic power, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the feet if they want to end the reserve status of the dollar?

He is joking about the pollution. It isn't so bad really, esp. at places like the Century Park. Quote from shortie: notice that the bottom pic is taken around noon on a bright summer day

Please counter me with reason and/or facts.

If I can enter bid/ask at sub-penny level and changes in prices are at least one penny, I am virtually guaranteed success in any assets I trade. I have another post here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=208377 Does anyone know any brokers that allow sub-penny bid/ask...

The counter-party does not need to be another institution. Imagine 99 retail traders with no change in their net asset and one with a penny gain. The exchange or brokerage house computes the average of these 100 retail traders and fills the institutional trader's stop loss. Let A be a set of all...

I am writing this post in response to the CBS "60 Minutes" on 10/10/2010 on the subject of high frequency trading. If you think that achieving profit every single day for years and years is impossible, think again! In fact, the opposite is true: not making a profit EVERYDAY (or even every...
