Two bil on Oculus is a much better investment than 19bil on Whatsapp.

Yeah I get the whole 'harder to mine' thing but really that's more like inflation. I can say that my house will be worth 10 million in the future because the price of everything rises with time. Any they don't make any more real estate. The last ever bitcoin may cost $100K to mine but that...

How can a Bitcoin be worth $100,000K when you can buy a Bitcoin mining computer for 12K and make a new coin using $50 worth of electricity?

Esignal have opened their new automated trading functionality to beta testing. Has anyone had a look at it yet? Would love to hear feedback and initial impressions. http://forum.esignal.com/forumdisplay.php?228-eSignal-Beta-Testing-EFS-Automated-Trading cheers, Runningbear

It depends on your win rate. I'd be more comfortable with 50 trades at a 70% win rate than 100% trades at a 50% win rate, even if both made money. I higher win rate gives your more advance warning on system degradation. With the first scenario, a fall in the win rate will tell you something...

What about tradebullet. It's been operating for years and seems to have a pretty good following.

The first rule of the the rich is to always use other people's money.

One of the advantages of a cloud set up for trading over say a web application is that you have very little outbound data. Outbound data get really expensive. A trading set-up will have a fair bit on inbound data but not much outbound data. Some providers even give you inbound data for free...

What price did you buy it at OnClose?:D

Facebook is now above $37. It's gone straight up since last October. Don't say I didn't tell you. Runningbear

I think that worrying about whether a broker is analysing your trades is a total waste of time. To make money from trading, you have to execute trades through a broker - or you can go and buy your own broking firm. So why worry about something you can't change. If you have a good system...

It really doesn't matter is a broker copies your trades or fades them. If you have direct execution, the broker can only entry a trade after you not before you, so it will not affect your entry price.

No they can't.

Unfortunately, if they see the code to run the system, it doesn't really matter if they legally own the code or you legally own it. Once they have a copy, they can trade it even if you own it, because there is really no way you can prove otherwise. If they run a server somewhere to trade it...

How can you show them anything if you haven't even backtested it yourself? Are you just going to show up and discuss some random idea?

Once the loss has achieved, the only way to breakeven on the position is to add contracts to one side of the hedge and turn it into a directional trade. Then simply pray the trades goes in your favour. Of course, this defeats the point of being hedged in the first place. So the real...

I have never had an issue downloading tick data in 10.6. As far as I know, you can only download a maximum of 10 days worth of tick data, so attempting to download more than 10 days of data may be causing the issue. With V 11.X, bar replay wasn't added initially, so they may not have...

Hi Mark, report back with the answer. I would be interested to know also. thanks, Runningbear

Firstly, if people start mirroring your trades, that's a good thing. The extra buying power will help to push the market in your direction. Secondly, anyone that would be dumb enough to mirror another person's trades is going to go broke. What if the star hedge fund manager is using futures...

That's disappointing to hear. I was thinking of making the transition from 10 to 11, but clearly the product needs more work.
