I still think an explanation of 2.5% vacancy rate vs. 18.whatever million vacant homes is in order. Those two numbers can't both be right. There...
It really depends on the instrument. If you go too long, meaningful moves are hidden within bars. If you go too short, trends are obscured by...
No problem.
I believe you would need to re-compute the indicators in the client app, except for a few like IV where there is server-side support to compute them.
Yeah, you are wrong. A million people will eventually come in here, tell you you're wrong, and explain it to you. My bet, though, is that you...
No, it's not. As I said, you're misunderstanding. Calculate the PF on your example with 3 $1 losses and 1 $3 win. Until you get the correct...
No. It's sum of the dollar value of wins over sum of the dollar value of losses.
You're doing the math wrong. A system that loses $3 one time in four and wins $1 three times in four has a profit factor of 1: 3/ (1 + 1 + 1) = 1
You don't understand PF. Sorry. The way PF works is that you add up the dollar value of all your wins in the sample, and divide by the dollar...
So you're saying you'd run a system that was losing 3 dollars for every 1 it made? Could get painful after a bit...
That's kind of frightening. Presumably at that income, you're not paying much in terms of income or property taxes. One person living on $1600...
It appears there's 3 different ways to get bar data out of IB: 1) the 5 second bar event 2) aggregating together the tick data 3)...
Those bear no resemblance to what I think of as HFT, which is usually just automated market making based on some sort of pricing model and mean...
No problem. The numbers you're getting now seem very plausible.
Since HFT is typically automated market making, and I trade mostly liquidity-consuming systems, I'm in favor of it. HFT guys serve to to connect...
It looks like you're doing it right. I wonder if this is some sort of equities-specific issue. Maybe an odd lot? I never trade equities fast...
I think you edited your post from B+C+D = 1000ish to 2000ish. Or maybe my mind is just going at an early age. In any case I wrote my previous...
I think A is about what I would expect for a generic broadband internet connection from somewhere in the US. I think B+C+D is really really high...
No problem - this isn't painfully tech-unsavy compared to what I'm used to. Ping can help you address [A]. The ping command has the syntax...
'ping' measures the network travel time from one machine to another. But it doesn't measure processing time on either end or time from your...
