Presenting The Generic Trader's Desktop
The following artist's impression of the generic trader's desktop is applicable to pretty much anyone (who is not a Primary Dealer) trying to scrape a living trading the "stock market", better known as the monetary policy tool to implement "The Wealth Effect."

Is that Karl Denningers desktop? Wow how did you get it? What is that at the bottom a RAD chart?
Add this video of Bernanke's son:

Here is what Bernanke caused in Syria - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yOVTizABVg&feature=player_embedded
dude i watched that video and i cant figure out whose more fucked up you for putting that video out there or me watching it. lolololol
Nice rack !
Can't be. Karl's still running on an EtchaSketch platform.
When you shake it, you buy on the dip.
Not much different from trade desk or any of the other playskool toys sold to day traders.
If you can pay to play or want to make your own HFT. Eclipse trader. Runs on any platform and it's open source. No trading engineer should be without it to see how widely fucked the math is on play for pay platforms out there. As mentioned, couple of good free HFT algo's plugin's can be had for free.
If looking for support, it's open source, therefore free. If you don't speak geek or math, don't bother. If you are willing to learn and not bitch in the forums about how you don't understand/lost money/not listening, come on board. Even a high powered saw has caveats, so does Eclipse trader.
I'ma kill you clippy!!
Can't be done. Thanks to the internet's proclivity for snark, he has become an immortal meme.
I bet BillG never saw that one coming either.
in the help window, type 'kill the fucking paperclip!' and it figures out what to do ;-)

{although, in this case, it is the first sensible set of alternatives I've seen}
Positive winning attitude is missing! Should offer another option: go long everything and make big bux now!!!
I'd like to know how you remoted my desktop.
"Cancel and Return to Porn" - priceless!
I'll take the third option Mr. paperclip.
I call no way! There should only be a macro on the desktop called "Shortcut to BTFD!". The rest should be WoW, Battlefield and Pr0n links.
Indeed, 4tw!!1101
Haha, I came in to post this. Where's the BTFD button?
There's no volume on this thing.
no need for volume when there's...no volume.
Very nice
I could say the same about those Ta ta's. Almost hypnotic...
OK very hypnotic. What was this post about again?
This was a post about big canners from what I recal.
Thats where all the volume went.
where's the CNBC "quick link" button that's shaped like Maria B's fat mouth?
If you watch some anal shots...while trading PCLN....TWO birds ONE stone..
Clippy knows all!
Why does that god damn paper clip look so happy? Is he laughing at me?
-Generic trader 5 minutes post placing /es short (on any given day)
Because he knows you are going to pick #3. He likes pr0n too.
Way too many bells and whistles here. All you need is a Staples-sized BTFD button on your keyboard.
But give a listen to how non-generic traders generate actionable ideas:

""Even Hardcore Greenies Still Use Washing Machines""
The Magic....Load the machine....Read Library books to your kids.
Hans Rosling and the magic washing machine statistics...

yet again i find people questioning the ability of "the great men of history" to time the market. i hear "ever Caeser himself was a great market timer."
return to porn....lol
When the magicians trick is no longer a secret, the last trick is to tell how it's done. I would speculate there is a new game in town.
beyond right and wrong...
One thing you have to ask yourself about any process is "is it effective?". If the answer is yes, you start running various scenarios and you get an idea of robustness.
Efficiency, well, clearly it's net negative but who can argue with effectiveness and robustness of whatever they are doing? Fatigue is showing the bond market, but on what basis could you justify shorting this "notional market"? If you do, you might as well do a gay porn too. You're going to walk with a limp either way.
Looks just like my desktop on Thursday. Should have clicked the third button instead... would have saved me thousands.
To think that all they needed to do was buy...
Hilarious....
Looks like we are still in the "Buy the Freaking Dips" mode.
We'll have to wait and see what happens in Japan over the weekend.
Odds are getting higher that somehow the problems will be solved and the Nikkei will lurch up once again.
To be honest with you, I believe this weekend the Japanese govt. will not have this situation controlled. In fact I believe that once it's 100% verified (they know already, the've known since last week) that reactor 3 has broken through it's containment and the core is leaking, they will abandon the situation to think up another option. And during that time nobody will be sprying water and nobody will be keeping cool all 6 reactors. They will have to because it would have become to dangerous for the workers to be at the nuclear power plant, 10,000 times background radiation is what burned those workers who stepped into the water. There's a difference in going to die for your country in one swell swoop of action than waiting your turn and watching every 50 men and women coming out slowly losing their body functions and seeing what will happen to you the longer you stay not at the reactor but even in the area.
These men and women will break and run and no amount of bushido code or whatever can change that. And remember, the govt. over their is lying about how much the radiation is in the area, it has to be at least 2,000 times the yearly level. This is being irradiated at this concentration or more every second and every minute and every hour of the day they stay in the area. I wouldn't be surprise that all of them don't have radiation sickness right now.
"What keeps you from making bad trades?"
Trader: "Paying more attention to lunch time, drinking heavily and great porn clips"
"What is your favorite platform and datafeed?"
Trader: uporn
"what do you do when your position goes against you?"
Trader: "I switch out to dog style."
"any money management tips to share?"
Trader: "Don't blow your wad, to early."
Porn is the lonely traders friend.
Porn is everyone's friend.
True, true.
Yeah if you don't have a gf.
(37x-25=)Math question cannot be longer than 3 characters but is currently 4 characters long.WTF.over.
sometimes Tyler just wants to fuck with somebody - nothin' personal. it's a little relief gimmick for him - avoids burn-out
And, what if your GF likes the pr0n too? :D
She kisses the children with that mouth.
Barely related, but a "Get Motivated!" event rolled through town the other day with a bunch of guest speakers like Colin Powell, Laura Bush, Steve Forbes, Bill Cosby and quite a few others. All day motivational event.
I didn't go but I guess in between speakers there were plugs for various other seminars and products, including a couple of guys pushing a momentum trading "system" on all the newly motivated schmucks.
I dont get it, Im an Imac user. :(
Nice to see you Robot. You're one of the few on this site worth more than a rat's ass.
I just found a video of Bernanke explaining why perpetual QE is infallible.

Kid looks like he needs a good beating.
He must have Aspergers. The filter in the brain that decides what information should be retained as being beneficial for human survival is broken which is why he will be a social misfit but the kid is a pretty functional genius.
He is not MIT PHD but hey...he is getting there.
Clippy!
omg...
Giblert Gottfreid is available! (He did the voice for clippy back in the day).
Bring back Clippy!
