    Any Tampabay Traders?

    Send me a Private Message (PM) with your e-mail. I've tried to reply via PM but this web-site was changed over the weekend and every attempt I've made results in "Database Error"?

    Any Tampabay Traders?

    I think you will find that there are no traders in the Tampabay area and I'm not sure if many remain in all of Florida? They may need Federal Protection and should probably be placed on the "Endangered Species" list ... right along side the elusive and rarely seen Florida panther. Of...

    NYSE auction data

    That's good to know - I use eSignal and I've never checked their NASDAQ Daily bar prices against another source.

    NYSE auction data

    I appreciate the information and the quick reply. Is there an associated file that also provides the Opening and Closing cross prices? I searched the web-site and couldn't find anything. Unfortunately, I am not aware of anyplace that provides a similar Free list for the NYSE auction. Some...

    NYSE auction data

    Would you mind disclosing where the NASDAQ data is available for free? I can get the Official prices from their web-site but have not found the associated volume for those prices? Example for ADI: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/adi/real-time Thanks, Slave2Market

    Ergotron Quad Monitor Stand - Free

    I have the following stand that I am offering for the low-price of $0. http://www.ergotron.com/Products/tabid/65/PRDID/196/Default.aspx The only catch is that you have to come pick it up. I would sell it but I don't want to waste my time packaging and shipping a large heavy item. I live...

    Earnings website

    I'm also looking for a new source of Earnings data. I am considering the following but have not had time to give them a thorough review: http://www.earningswhispers.com/ http://www.streetinsider.com/ http://www.theflyonthewall.com/ http://www.zacks.com/earnings I'm with you...

    The Trading Software Market is Dead

    IMHO that is not correct. What real traders need in the current market environment is a platform/software that provides a total solution: 1. A FIX connection to my Broker(s) of choice. Supports most/all of the current ECNs. 2. A low latency data feed with lots of historical data i.e...

    The Rubber Band continues to stretch with Equities

    Keep in mind that the markets can continue to go much, much higher than you would like to believe. The Real Estate Bubble continued for years and reached levels that made "absurd" look like an understatement. The Fed knows that it is all just a big game of perception and if they can...

    Iris Pairs Trading Platform

    I would be convinced if you provided an actual live account with real profit and loss statements that included all trading and software related costs. I realize that you are now a sponsor but I still believe that it is extremely difficult to day trade pairs and turn a profit in a very low...

    How Does Statistics Apply To Trading?

    Wide Tailz gave you a good response but the issue you will have is the quote above. These types of simple methods usually require a very "Subjective" level of interpretation and therefore are nearly impossible to capture in a trading algorithm that would allow you to apply statistical analysis...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    Congrats on what sounds like positive results but I wouldn't get too comfortable with the "SAFETY" aspect of pairs trading. There are lots of hidden landmines just waiting to inflict damage. A recent but fairly benign example is NYX from Thursday. I was very fortunate to be on the correct side...

    Programming for idiots

    The biggest problem most traders face when trying to automate their strategy is that they really don't understand that their strategy cannot be automated. Very few discretionary traders have a system with rock-solid rules. There is almost always a lot of intuition or experience involved that...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    You came here proclaiming how great the software is; here's some quotes from your posts: ... the charts are really impressive. ... all i have to say is WOW. I have not seen scalping/day trading signals made so clear since the early 2000s ... ... Plus they show the entries and exits...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    I really hate to bump a thread where it's obvious that it's just a Sales Pitch but you didn't provide enough information to even begin to assess the trades i.e. what trades - you threw out some pairs and that was it. Why anyone would pair FISV with BLL is baffling i.e. a financial software...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    Hey Mike, since it is so amazing why not post some trades for all of us to behold! If I sound a little skeptical, well - I am. On a more serious note, I'm always interested in something new if it actually provides value and is not just another Sales Pitch. I personally beat intra-day Pair...

    Trend following fails to beat index

    I agree and restrictions on when you can withdraw your capital are also issues with a managed account. It is painful though when your cash earns a whopping 0.8% in a "HIGH YIELD" account! Of course, the Fed wants your capital to seek out the premium returns and stimulate the economy...

    Trend following fails to beat index

    I have never invested in a CTA fund but I like to watch them to see what's working ... or not working. I'd consider investing in a fund if I could get a 10% return with minimal drawdown i.e. the "Holy Grail". Of course I could just open a Portfolio Margin account with IB, use their High...

    Trend following fails to beat index

    The CTA rankings for the last year are pretty much a sea of red with a few posting some really nasty returns. http://www.managedfutures.com/top_cta_rankings.aspx I really don't understand why someone puts money into LJM? The only strategy appears to be waiting for a huge drawdown of at...

    The DIA/XLY spread is low-volatility with a longer term trending behavior. I don't see any compelling tradable characteristics unless it is done on the micro-second time scale. If you analyze ETF spreads you will find that most exhibit extremely high levels of correlation on an intraday time...
