? Bloomberg runs on any windows machine. AFIK, doesn't create any system instabilities.

lol, yeah send snail mail, that'll definitely be read. SAC doesn't recruit independent traders. If you are a big trader at some fund / IB, then maybe. It's who you know. Definitely not a "send your resume and we'll think about having you" kinda place. If you have a reputation on wall street...

How much you manage...that may be the reason...

That's a good point. And the problem crosses multi assets, everything behaves anti technically, it's unbelievable. You have to take more risk for less returns. Need to adapt, roll with it, improvise now, more than ever.

VEGA F1 (in bbg) and yes to answer your last question. Google can really help out also btw.

You are starting to come around with this FX analysis, may I ask you to PM me your background, I have a few comments I'd like to make in private.

I can't say I disagree, anything can happen, but 1.20 is certainly an important level and until bad news from the US hit the market, I don't see the USD going much lower vs the euro; long term I think Euro may become a good buy again, Buffett is certainly making that case clear. Looks like he's...

I think 1.20s are over for a while; the hardcore longs have been shaken out and the USD carry is starting to be painful for Euro longs. I think it's going to base for a while in 1.15 - 1.20. No impetus to go higher. With the ECB on the verge of cutting rates (or potentially cutting rates due to...

That's cool, now I can say I have two degrees of separation with a crook! Sweet.

I definitely disagree with that... But it also depends what you categorize as a head and shoulder... The graph as posted does not work as a head and shoulder in my opinion. While there may be a left shoulder and a possible right shoulder, the neckline isn't straight and the levels are all over...

Yeah, ok. Not that easy bud. 1) On Bloomberg Basic terminal, you can't interchange machines 2) On Bloomberg Anywhere, there's fingerprint recognition software or a 30sec random secure Id token to get you in. You can't hack the thing.

Wadu know John M. The guy is a market maker in credit derivatives at CSFB, who the hell are you?

Don't do it. 3 to 5 pips a day is very easy, you get the high from the high win/loss ratio but you're going to hit some serious losses at some point; also I can't imagine what your stop loss is. Any market shock will erase months of profits. Seems a little wobbly to me. Stick to the real...

... Day trading with 20mill on a few names Give it a try, lol. That should be funny.

Just compute them...

http://www.gftforex.com/products/gftmanagedaccounts/history-pac.asp#pachigh Something is wrong with these published returns... Anyone concur?

We look at the past to find answers in the future; we have done this for thousands of years; why do we publish books and keep them in libraries for decades? TA is the story of the stock; currency;bond or whatever market. It tells you what happened when, to the price of a security. How could...

Since currencies are not a regulated market, maybe you can go about not telling them about it...

Better yet...if there were any zero coupons back in 1980 (not sure when the stripping mania started occuring) then use these instead of par bonds.

That is correct... Assuming positive carry, just use the prices of the bonds (these bonds may change since your duration will get shorter and shorter with time); this will give you the bulk of your returns; then assume an average coupon (on a 5yr) and see what that gives you. Not an easy task...
