Sorry to see you go, I enjoyed reading your postings. To be honest, I don't know why you're being so hard on yourself, it certainly seems like...
Question: How do you determine when a system that used to work, no longer works and should not be used again? What criteria besides number of...
Have you considered cutting down in size until the markets calm down a bit? My trading system has been on fire but the risk is too high for me,...
I don't think he'll have to worry about this one. If he doesn't scale in with lots of contracts, he'll be taking regular losses, like the rest of...
Bad assumption. You have no clue if 312k is the right amount. Hoffman said 307k + commissions, I would go with that as the right amount. Who...
If this is all you want to do then just stick it into a map where the key is the timestamp. Using minute data you can reasonably store years...
I attended the webinar they had today, and it was admittedly pretty good. I just dropped out now to go to work. Hoffman was fairly honest to...
First off, you should convert the dates into timestamps when manipulating them in C, either seconds, nanoseconds, etc. This will simplify your...

I'm doubtful. I really don' t think the "powers that be" really care about regulation and making the markets safer for retail. The SEC isn't...
Nice! when will you start live trading?
Hoffman had over 850 contracts and went for more when his account was locked by his broker. This has been confirmed by multiple sources that...
Thanks so much for this info!
I met someone who is an HFT in Chicago, and he said that he traded based on order book data and trade price/volume. Stupid question, but can...
So, how is the results from sim-testing this working out? Is it going as expected?
I can confirm pretty much everything written here. My estimate for number of subscribers is 500. The activity from the forums, etc is really...
As I said, he proclaims every day that he is trading his own live money. That's why if he were faking it would set himself up big time for legal...
Let me just say however, that this entire episode has left a bad taste in my mouth with regards to Trade the Markets and Hoffman. I've always...
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Hoffman blew up his account in front of hundreds of paid subscribers. He has claimed over and over...
