Hows that working out? And are you using Futures, or spot. Thanks.

Is anyone aware of an insider buying API, which supports a large number of stocks? Programming language is not an issue. But I don't want to spend more that $100/month. Thanks

They seem like interesting instruments for sure. Spread trading them against Gold or the S&P might be interesting.

I want to know everything about VIX futures, but information is hard to find. What's your experience with them? Volume has increased dramatically last couple years, they appear to be no longer a niche product.

Do sociopaths make good traders? Since they have little/no emotions, they should be unaffected by the stress. I wonder if the consistent winning % of traders are disproportionately sociopaths. Any sociopaths on this forum would can lend some perspective? According to a the book "The...

Good question. Been awhile since I read that book. I believe Soro's main point is that a decoupling of growth between M1 and M3 indicates some kind of credit crunch. Credit crunch = everybody scrambling for cash, needing cash, and liquidating longer term assets to cover loans and other...

Heck no, get involved in the tech web application start-up scene with those kinds of skills. You'll be so much richer in 10 years it's not even calculable versus going the day trading route. That said, algorithmic daytrading may interest you, but it's not really possible to go at it alone. There...

I'm looking for advise on putting on a Single Stock Futures position. Ideally, this would be hedged with a maximum loss with the purchase of put options. This trade is somewhat complex, but involves the purchase of a SSF, and OTM put option. Anybody familiar with SSFs and hedging...

Post candidates here. I'll start with some ADR contenders. H&M Gazprom Siemens China Mobile

This may be a taboo topic, but as above. No need to post $ terms but ROI % of original trading account balances.

I'm guessing neke's problems are caused by having a short bias in a rising market. If he had a long bias these last few years, he would be profitable.

Assume you were given an online trading account funded with $10K, and laptop computer with internet access. Now assume you were facing a 10 year prison sentence, and could keep whatever money you earned from trading to live on when you got out. If you lost all the money, you would have nothing...

Parallel computing has it's own set of problems. For one it's harder to debug applications and write code. It's great for applications where the result of one operation does not depend on the result of others. I suspect it will find a home and already has with some algo traders, but it is not a...

Pittsburgh has cheap real estate downtown. I believe pop is growing in state, but not by much. The biggest office scraper in town the US Steel Tower sold for only around 300M not long ago. You can have yourself an impressive size office building downtown for a very few million or a lot less...

Wow thats not so subtle. Really, there should be links to gambling addiction support groups on on the top bar of that website. Regardless, it would be great if nobody hit this jackpot. Then it would go up to 1 Bn or so. Now the odds of that happening are basically zero. But can you imagine...

The expected value is actually negative. 1.5Bn is being wagered. Also, odds are, the prize will be split among multiple winners. Thus it's a poor bet, as usual. Even if the expected value was positive, it's such bad odds you could argue that the lotto is always a bad investment.

I call BS too. Nobody who earned 1m treats it like this. Not even are inherited fortunes blown so easily.
