No Holy Grail, I mean a method of trading that suits my life style. One that allows me to work full time. No staring at screen all day simply a few hours a week looking at charts. Price action and Support and Resistance.

Realistic ROI and Account Size

I still have Clocks video on that, was an aha moment for me. Good to see this thread is still going.

Silent Service Method

I have blown 1 account, 100 buck Oanda. I have been studying various trading styles and absorbing the vast amounts of information on the web. From PA to Fibs to Order Flow to Automated Trading and so on. All these styles work for many people, so far ...

Realistic ROI and Account Size

I disagree, with a medium sized account (i.e. not a multimillion hedge fund) it is achievable, plenty do it here.

Great Thread, Best first post I have ever read, if you ever want to succeed in trading LISTEN TO THIS GUY. With regards Psychology and its importance, of course its important, but its as relevant as saying "Not being paralyzed from the neck down is ...

Some lessons from the real world

Yeah, but I plan to only implement the parts that I need. What broker do you use spekkie? I want to use IB but the whole 25k min for day trading stocks is a bit steep. Wonder if the law is the same in the UK.

A better Analogy would be using object database as its easier to program against than a relational database from an OO language (no impedance mismatch). But people keep using relational DB because they are faster, I will accept the fact that I need ...

Systematic trading

I have already written most of the quote stuff in C, I don't see why what the broker uses is important, I prefer to have a decoupled system using interfaces or services that are implementation independent. I prefer to rely only on some standard ...

QT creator is great for debugging just like VS, I also find GDB to be quite powerful. Multi-threading is something I find its speeds up networking based operations, but as you say it can be difficult if you don't know what you are doing. Keeping it ...

Hi Guys, good to see the progress and people having results live. I have been back and forth between using C#/Win and C/C++ Linux and have settled for the latter, I spent the last month resharpening my CC++ skills as well as multithreading (want the ...

lol if you are writing a trading engine you need to be ahead of the comp, why start of in a losing position. I bet many of googles loser competitors were like you "Why bother being efficient just use the easiest language"

Object Oriented Programming

I think Linus was arguing against OO there which I agree with, he was being sarcastic in saying that VB with Access was simple access without layers of ORM and all the crap that comes with OO. Funnily enough he never used VB to program the linux ...

Object Oriented Programming

All Unix, and most bits of WIndows are written in C also. But wait .... Oberon!!! I forgot about that.

Object Oriented Programming

So Valgrind is "complicated" lol now I know why you think C++ is too difficult. Hopefully someone will develop a programming language where you can point and drag big shapes so you can build programs without even using your tiny brain. Who cares if ...

Object Oriented Programming

You obviously couldn't grasp C++, it is a complex language but very powerful as well as allowing you to produce software that run extremely fast. If you prefer languages with compliers and runtimes that hold your hand because you don't understand ...

Object Oriented Programming

Good video thanks, he didn't mention the transaction costs, for a million trades at $1 vs 1 trade at $1 million it must be a problem.

Systematic trading

You are missing the point some programmers dont want to be told by the compiler what they can and cant do, because they "might" cause a problem. Just like I wouldnt want a speed limiter on my ferrari (if I had one). There is a reason most every ...

Object Oriented Programming

That is true, it is potentially dangerous if you dont know what you are doing and you are right the compiler lets you away with murder, but there are tools like valgrind that can analyse your program for memory leaks and memory vialotions, hopefully ...
