Eh, let em come find me and sue me then. If it was worth their while, they've had 4 years to come get me. Goldman took less than a month to bust that other guy.

DMCA applies if you are trying to circumvent copy protection. If you aren't (which I wasn't, as I had the debug symbols already), there's no case. If this weren't the case, any programmer who has the debug symbols for the retail build of any Windows kernel would be in jeopardy of being sued...

"Software can be cloned by reverse engineering or legal reimplementation from documentation or other sources, or by observing a program's appearance and behavior. The reasons for cloning may include circumventing undesirable licensing fees or acquiring knowledge about the features of the system...

Yeah, but stealing would imply I took it out of the company. You're obviously not a programmer. It's a different story when the "secret sauce" is calling hooks into a piece of code you wrote and debug symbols are there. It's just a matter of examining the call stack and what the compiler...

Pfft, those algos are a joke. The way I make money is by putting a piece of code into the broker to figure out what you specifically are doing. When you buy, I just buy in front of you. Then when you get the bad fill and want to cut losses, I turn around and offer liquidity to take your...

No, the beauty of it is that -you- can finance your way into this game with all the money you made up until this point. You just have to be willing to take the same kinds of risks to learn that you did when you first started. Old man, I am not part of your generation. But you should take...

But even for a human, I think a half second is perceptible; a third of a second is on the edge of perceptible. How did you guys like it when the specialist shut down for seconds at a time and then gave you a shit fill when the stock was tanking?

As far as I'm concerned, this thread is dead. For those who graciously PM'd me, I will try to keep in touch. I apologize for getting caught up in the usual internet silliness, but the medium is what it is.

Showing that you have a different IP is not proof. In fact, the fact of the matter is that you were awfully silent on the thread while AsiaProp became active. If you tried to prove you were withdrawing from ET, you could have just started working with Tor Proxies to give yourself some cover...

Why not, you already have. Unless you have a bet with someone, you should just admit your cover has been blown.

You're a fool. You didn't work with Galt, you are Galt. You fucked up, replied to the wrong post, and you got caught with your pants down. Now, I'm effectively dealing with a troll who wants to make a case out of something that is a non-case. The strategy I posted to this blog was what I...

As if that means much in a world of VPNs and Tor. Why would you respond to propseeker when he was responding to asiaprop, then? I'm kind of put off by being accused of being a criminal, though. But, I see it over and over. The guy in the pair trader thread was being accused of being a...

I kind of figured TSGannGalt == AsiaProp. Why the new alias? Different groups of personalities to facilitate making allies and gaining edges, or what?

Appreciate the support. When I was inside the corporate walls, I used to read ET every lunch period. I wasn't allowed to post from work, because of policy. What got me was that the guys in the pair-trading thread and the Weinstein thread were doing well. Plus, where I actually worked...

Really, it's much more simple than you think it is. I know you don't believe, but 95% of the edge in HF trading comes from the technology, not the trading rules. I just happen to know [or think I know -- thus the experiment] where the technology doesn't buy anyone a real advantage.

I consider Weinstein's approach high-frequency, but different from me. He clearly has an edge. He looks at stocks where there's a tremendous movement and tries to capture the reverse trend over and over. The point being, he has an edge, he trades a lot intraday, and he's retail. What more...

There's no mystery behind HF trading. If I said what I was doing even in the most general manner, that'd be the end of it. Most new ideas are simply twists of old ideas. By the private messages I am getting, I've come to the conclusion that other people already know or have guessed what...

That's a lot of work for what should just be a simple regression. People have coded this a million times, so... I should just have functions that let me construction a design matrix and then get the t and f stats. In any case, QuantLib does what I want. I have it compiled, and I am...

I compiled R.dll, included all the headers, then used the Rcpp and RInside classes. Then I wrote some wrappers to let me manage things like regressions and such. It works fine, until I compile it as a DLL and import into a third party process. Stability goes wonky then. But also, I don't...

Well, I'd rather not say; however, the Weinstein fading and trading thread is one where he clearly is a retail trader with an edge. The Pairs Trading Journal people seem to be doing ok also. Neke also seems to be doing well. They're all retail traders, because their print outs and blotters...
