Best Day: $64k (this was during the credit crisis, and had multiple days in the $20k-$60k range shorting the likes of RDN/MTG/MBI/OCN/Indymac). I would just watch my things, short the weak - i.e. everything then, and close out any reds in the blotter, holding the greens. It was easy to hold...

That list is useless. It is merely a list of 13F long stock, and nothing else. Doesn't measure anything else in portfolio, nor can/does it factor a funds basis for position. Meaningless. "Hedge fund returns are based on the weighted average return of each hedge fund's long stock positions in...

Wow. Horrendous timing.

Can you tell me about that side wall...is that grasscloth? If so, do you know exactly which it is by chance? Thanks.

Why the fuss? Many prop traders get 50:1+ (intraday stock prop) - unless you mean forex only.

:). They must have read this thread.

This guy is more inspiring of confidence than the president. That's sad for our nation that we can't rely on our president to inspire confidence and assurance. Obama's conference the other day (yest?) was probably the least confidence-inspiring pep talk to the nation during a (market) crisis...

These are two very different things. One thing that doesn't much change across various forms of this stuff: the success rate is low with either of these. You don't hear about the many HFT's that fail/blow up after making money, nor the ones that started up but never quite made it (just like most...

Sh%t....and I would've been up nearly 100% instantly :(.

I have been a customer of Zipcar for about 8 years (in NYC and DC). I now live in an area where I have no particular need or use for the service (also have 2 cars now). I've always loved the service, and if I returned to those cities I would concurrently re-sign up for membership...

I don't much use them, but these are not highly sophisticated algo's only available through select providers. Even IB offers a bunch as standard execution algo's.

I believe it is highly dependent on where you are at in your trading career, if you've built up your savings already and your financial conditions, what your average up and down day is like, and how often you are up and down, what current market conditions are like (some markets are best left...

I'm sure that is the case, however you can be certain they reviewed every single feature to see what to program into V11, and decided that this was not worth carrying into 11.

I'm a big Esig fan. Everybody's got the issues that pertain to whatever things are important to them in the software (EFS coding, etc.). For me, I've simple needs. What pisses me off is that they could not manage to simply at the least to carry over ability to format quote screens. The...

One of my peeves about TWS: For rapid pace daytrading of American-listed stocks (or any other single/few specific exchange style trading, rapid pace) that one extra step of having to specify exchange, etc. on the drop down when you enter a symbol. One should be able to, in configuration...

May 6th (and prob other "event days"): HFT contributor to the mess. Average Day: Reduces volatility.
