Random Walkers Christmas FAQ

pl respond back Unsw or Macquarie

<t>Indeed,the trading loss was not related to mispricing or quant error. The quants at the NAB are OK. Its just that the organization is crap, particularly management in most areas. The NAB has serious cultural problems, as the APRA report recently stated. Somehow, I don't believe the new CEO will c...

A simple question on Exit Strategies -

Exits.However, we appear to be concentrating on Stop-Loss exits, just a reminder that there are many different types of stops a trader may use for exits, break-even stops, trailing stops, etc.Having said that, I have traded strategies whe...

toby crabel/a successful CTA does onyone know anything about his methods??

LIPTON'S last book

Ouch!!! Nope, but his other book "Mathematical Methods for FX:" is super IMHO, and is only worth about $50USD. So if that is anything to go by then it should be a good one. I guess you'll be letting us know whats its like once you read it

Visual Basic: An Object Oriented Approach: Alistair McMonnies

<t>Almost any knowledge of programming would be considered useful, however, if your aim is to learn VB.NET, then IMHO it is not necessary to know standard VB.
