Brainstorming ideas for automated trading solutions...My goals include: 1) Have realtime FX data stream into either SAS, R, or OpenQuant. 2) Run dataset through some model/algorithm. 3) Send orders based on results. Only 'software' i'm not familiar with is OpenQuant, but I've heard great...

not to thread-jack...but i got a question.. I'm fairly familar with RapidMiner and VERY familar with R....I'm always curious how people trade with these tools..Do you have a custom c++ code that calls these programs (if possible) to generate a signal? Thats the only part i cant quite...

By proof, i mean a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Something of this magnitude would warrant a special edition of science or nature not treehugger.com Fair enough though. I'll just be on my way

I am making a passing attempt at dry humor. Listen: I'm agreeing with you. Monsanto is evil, man. I don't agree with 99% of their policies. All i'm trying to say is just because they are innovators of crops and looking to profit makes them no worse than apple trying to profit from some...

Use my head? I believe i am. I'm pretty sure if one could conclusively link eating food processed from GMO seeds, they'd have about 3 nobel prizes sitting in their lap. My simple advice to you is, dont eat or drink anything processed then. But careful, that computer your typing on emits...

First of all, one of the only reasons i would give them my ear is so i COULD take care of my mother's health. I've got a hierarchy of priorities and the benefit of mankind is below my family unfortunately. Secondly, those arguments you list are completely ridiculous. For one, if you think...

in no way shape or form will i defend monsanto....but how is that different than apple and its patents? monsanto/dupont/syngenta/apple/microsoft they are all the same....their mode of innovation happens to be a crop those seeds aint cheap to develop either dupont is just lucky the media...

easy to chide 'unprincipaled' college grads isn't it....?? how about you chide big education that makes a degree attainable only by massive unforgivable student debt.... fyi i think monsanto is evil incarnate, but if there waving 200k at me when i graduate, i might listen

So with the every present form of some type of QE coming from the fed, i have a few questions.. If fed does, in fact, starting purchasing MBS, will that kill the dollar <i>again</i>? Or does the economy see through the smoke of QE and will still buy dollars out of fear? I say this...

your usd/cad trade is floating ~+100 pips

To ressurect this thread: I am looking at buying a put. Do i have to do this through a brokerage or will an elevator deal with this? If i go through a brokerage, how would that work actually?

oldtime, you dont trade wheat and beans anymore? why not, i'm looking to get in them...

Just curious where people get their forex news/analysis/trade ideas... zerohedge, bloomberg, dailyfx??

Thank arbtigae... Could you please PM your info...also you'd you like you can explain some of these more advanced hedges (synthetic puts, collars, etc.) Also, are you familiar with hedge-to-arrive contracts?

ok, to revisit the topic.... I believe that i will look to buy puts when a 650 strike is "cheap" enough. However, can i do this with a mini contract (1,000 bu increments is alot more flexible). If i can do this with a mini contract, is the market just as liquid? Secondly, any broker...
