Christian, great article! I was building an ATS myself but had to put it on the back burner. Do you dabble in neural nets and AI modeling as well? I predominately use YALE, an open source data mining, machine learning software to build currency, futures, and stock models.

This helps me identify emerging market trends and trade (discretionary) accordingly.

For the past eight months or so I have been writing my own quant based trading system. I like to call it quant based trading, and not automated trading because quant implies analysis and some automated trading. Trading based on quantative analysis is becoming the norm, not the exception. Automated trading implies auto-pilot and not as much analysis. If you don’t know much about automated trading it is time that you start learning about it.Now brokerage companies are starting to release automated trading software that you can use to devise your own strategies. For example, TDAmeritrade has released such software. I use Interactive Brokers as an online brokerage, which has an application programming interface allowing me to write my automated trading software. Or you can buy software that allows you to write scripts.

Yet another mega-private-equity take-over. This time its KKR buying FDC for nearly 30 billion dollars. I look at this deal and wonder how it is going to work. Business Week thinks this is a great deal.

Yes you read it right, I can show you how to make 1.5 million in less than four months. You think it is impossible, right? Think of what you could do with that money. You could pay off your mortgage, take a trip around the world, or buy a brand new Hummer because well you can!

Sounds like a scam right? You are reading the title and first paragraph and realize its April 1! Yet wait it is real!

Head over to Zacks 100K Challenge and a trader called Java J has managed to convert 100,000 into 1.6 million in under four months! The guy is a trading machine! (BTW this is no April Fools joke…)

Amazing!
