Peter, I'm having that very sad "Noooooo" feeling when I start reading the last chapter of a really enjoyable book. I'm so sad to see the end coming. This has been a great read, and yours, a great story. I'm looking forward to the Epilogue to catch up on what has happened since. Well done...

Hi @peterkto I figure most people will figure this out, but in case anyone is having trouble, the link needs a leading "h" to get to https://churningandburning.com/2023/11/the-pot-stocks.html I'm looking forward to reading this next post, @peterkto! Your story is interesting and well written...

I think this concept of 0 DTE options growth causing a "Volmaggedon" is something that's getting too many turns in the press, but doesn't really have much merit that I can see, except for hype and clicks. @ETJ 's post with an article shows that 95% of the SPX 0 DTE trading growth has been...

Hi SPT, I wanted to offer a couple of thoughts about your questions and offer some ways to think about your questions from a different perspective. Scalping 4 ticks in the ES with a 4 tick stop is possible, but I think you'll find over the long term your profits will be either so razor thin...

Did you open the file in the Metaquotes editor and compile it? You'll need to do so before using it.

Hi oceanroaming, Welcome to northern Colorado. There's a very active group of traders that meets every other Tuesday at a local establishment (Crown Pub) for beers, dinner, and trading talk. Many are very quant-based and system-based. If you are interested, PM me. We operate via a Google...

Corey, Your post says a great deal about your strength of character and confidence in yourself and your market approach. Thanks for sharing this with us. Your insights are a great asset and hopefully we all can absorb those into our own approaches and use them to benefit our own...

Yep! That was the one. I know the score was a bit lopsided, but for my first game, it was just incredible to watch! The crowd was really fired up, and it was really a lot of fun.

I saw a great Australian Football League game today. Very impressive! I am looking forward to the warmer weather in Cairns tomorrow.

Hello fellow ET'ers, I'm traveling in Australia for the next two weeks. While walking in Sydney a few days ago, I saw the Exchange bldg on Market Street, and I was wondering if there's anything to see. Looks like there might be an auditorium with escalators leading downstairs...

http://www.linkedin.com It's free to join and participate. Not nearly as time consuming as Facebook. It has more of a business/professional focus. http://www.linkedin.com/in/davenadeau; I'll be happy to connect. You can see some of the groups I'm referring to on my profile.

Hi Sammy, If you have an account on LinkedIn, you should look through some of the groups there (e.g. High Frequency Trading, Algorithmic Trading, Electronic Trading, etc.) as there are job postings, some with pay and bonus, but more importantly, there are other IT career and skill sets (and...

Another good perspective can be gained from visiting the community over at the MB Trading SDK site and the associated Yahoo! groups. (http://sdk.mbtrading.com/) You can open a demo account for free, download the API/Navigator, check out the library of code samples (VB6, VB.NET, C#.NET) that...

Whether the amount of profit or loss gets classed as ordinary or split really depends on the individual's tax situation and whether they have losses or gains from their forex trading. How that fits into any other trading (futs, equities, options) results and other income sources will be...

Ahhh, tax law. I don't know enough to explain it, but I can speculate. I am neither an attorney nor CPA; I have no special insights or experience. The following is my opinion only: It seems to me that over the years, equities have been used as and considered to be the "investments" made by...

No, you certainly don't have to list each trade. It'll be either Section 1256 or 988 which applies. Each will be a lump sum reporting, like you've indicated that you are used to from the past. See http://www.greencompany.com/EducationCenter/GTTRecCurrency.shtml for a very thorough and...

That's exactly right. There's no National Quote System like in equities on OTC. And this is essentially OTC trading. So all the feed activity during the day are quotation changes and updates. No datafeed can give you a true LAST as a quote. Most will synthesize those, and it depends on the...

I guess the best answer is a solid *maybe*. You are looking at a proxy for the market. What the real market is, unfortunately, difficult to see, especially as a retail trader. Banks will trade bank-to-bank on the Interbank market, and trades won't post for all to see on a centralized exchange...

Check out MB Trading's SDK. The actual commission costs are high for a scalping strategy. However, on the plus side, you can write in C# against their API. Their forum is helpful with plenty of examples and some documentation. You can open a demo account, or three..., and run against the...

Do some research on MB Trading's API. (sdk.mbtrading.com) There are some examples of usage with Excel. I've not done anything with the MB API using Excel, but I think that should translate easily over to OO Calc. You can open a free demo account with MB Trading, use that to log in and...
