Aside from the money management books by Ralph Vince, Edward Thorp's fundamental article about using the Kelly criterion can be found as PDF on...
C++ is needed for a trading platform, but not necessarily for a trading strategy script. Simple C will do for that, and is easy to learn. There...
FXCM has the advantage of free API and free tick price data. But I was hoping some users would write plugins for other brokers, as it's pretty...
It might give some Bashar supporters in Syria the opportunity to reconsider whom they're supporting.
I wish you success with your project. We're also using Qt for another user interface (non trading related), but I would not use Python for script....
I can also not understand why someone would trade manually when he's following a rational system that he could describe in a script and trade...

Then what did you want to tell us with your argument about the federal forms? I've just said that the distribution of intelligence among races has...
I don't know if I am wayyy smarter than you, but being a super intelligent liberal is probably not required for that. Federal forms that ask...
What "huge implications" should that be? You keep attaching that "bell curve" to your posts, probably for illustrating that you're...
