What is, is What "should be", clearly isn't

what's your exit target for this short, spanish?

Will there be enough left in your trading account for an open bar and hors d'oeuvres at your wake? If so, count me in. I would recommend that everyone dress in red (i.e., "in the red") rather than black to commemorate your passing.

Above is supposed to state "unhappy people are more likely than happy people"... Thanks for the feedback, Arnie. Anyone else?

I've seen some posts on dslreports and other places suggesting higher than expected latency with fios. Given that unhappy people are more likely than unhappy people to post, I would like to solicit fios feedback from the ET crowd. Thank you.

I purchased this in April 2007. It's in fine condition, and is running the latest firmware (v4.5.0). Here's the manufacturer's info on the product. http://www.peplink.com/products/balance-200-300/ I'm asking $500, which includes insured shipping. Please PM with interest.

The word I received from Mirus today is that the Zen-Fire problem with Eurex volume data will be resolved mid-September. There is a fix in place and they're currently testing it.

Thanks for your replies and the screen shots. It seems like XTrader Pro has all the features for which I'm looking (I'm looking to trade custom spreads). The monthly fee is a little steep for me at the moment, however ($1,250 was the lowest I've seen). Any other packages with similar...

I would appreciate software recommendations for trading spreads on futures. My understanding is that XTrader Pro actually creates an implied price based on the defined spread, displays that price in the DOM, and when you place an order against the implied spread price it simultaneously...

At a low level when watching intraday price action, price is the "what" -- volume is the "how" (I don't much care about the "why", "who" or "where"). Volume tells me whether or not supply and demand are in balance at a particular price level. Big volume represents buyers and sellers coming...

I'm well aware of the importance of protecting my intellectual property. Programming is not an issue. I am actually a very good programmer. However, I know enough about stats to know I don't know enough. I could slap together some analyses, but unless I match my specific data with the...

An argument against seeking one within the trading community that I foolishly omitted is that the community is filled with smug, over-assuming dicks who speak before they think. Thanks to "original" for demonstrating that fact. I can definitely say, without reservation, that I don't want to...

I've reached the point in my system design efforts where I need input from a very capable statistician. My question is whether I should seek one within the trading community or from outside (e.g., academia). The argument for finding one inside the trading community is that the person will...

Valerian is good homeopathic stress remedy and sleeping aid

Hi, Sky. I was recently reading through the product documentation on the OQ website. I was unclear whether it provides tick-by-tick creation of historical periods and whether historical bid/ask data are available. I read something that led me to believe that historical tick-based periods are...

Hi, 123. Stay away from the dynamic DOM. It's very easy to make mistakes in a fast-moving market (i.e., the price on which you think you're clicking moves away from your mouse cursor). Also, watching it will give you a headache very quickly. Even if your broker doesn't include the 0.10 per...

Hi. On the CBOT site, the ratio for this futures spread is listed as 5 10-year notes to 3 30-year bonds. How do they calculate this ratio and what is the rationale behind it? Any and all insights appreciated. Thank you.

I'm very happy with Mirus. I haven't had any problems with my RCG account, but I have tried to get a live and knowledgeable person on the phone at RCG for a question (not so easy). Service (should you ever need it) is likely a bit better at Dorman.

Yes, Zen-Fire does the data feed and execution -- it's very fast and reliable. It's also a true-tick feed (not compressed ticks like IB and TT). They have a good bit of historical data, but strangely they don't have daily bar data (you can build daily bars from hourly data). The backfill is...
