High-Frequency Trading: A Practical Guide to Algorithmic Strategies and Trading Systems (Wiley Trading)

Edit: It appears someone has just assigned an "Irene Aldrige" note to my id.

This is a strange and rather intrusive behavior on behalf of NP moderators.

Ahh, I guess NP is just another group "watched over" by frustrated mathematicians.

Miss Aldridge,



If you had paid any attention: This is a practioner's forum, not an academic forum. There's a lot of traders on here, most notably quantitatively oriented, highly skilled in information technology. They know how to route orders in a few milliseconds across 20 different exchanges.



You don't think that they know what DNS is? You don't think they know how IP address allocation works? You don't think they can smell bullshit when they see it?



Anyway, like I said: Want to try again? You're not the enemy, but if you continue with this bullshit, I dare say your stay is going be rather short lived... (and high profile within the high frequency trading industry). Ahem.



So?

[nemo]

Wow, wow, chill out there.

I appreciate that you can smell bullshit, but not sure what in my DNS or IP address you do not like.

Edit: "your stay will be rather short-lived" is not exactly a "practitioner" democracy!

So, please revert my settings to normal and learn how to spell while you are at it, bullshit-smeller!

[nemo]

Oh yes, and routing orders in a few milliseconds is kind of slow, actually. You should brush up on your IT skills. Aldridge's book may help with that, too.

[Ser Ilyn Payne]

Right. You're clearly the delusional girl that your website makes you out to be.



Anyway, I'm in a good mood today, so if you apologize (can even be via e-mail so the mortification factor is clearly reduced) then we'll forget the whole thing and I'll clean up here.



Otherwise... well, we'll see, won't we?



PS: That's the thing with democracy: There's always someone out there who has a little more rights than you have. Even if they are only admin rights Wink



PPS: Really, Aldridge's book will show me how to route to 20 exchanges in less than few milliseconds? She's actually found a way on how to move electrons (or photons) at speeds faster than c? Awesome.

[nemo]

To all, I believe I am softly asked to leave this forum.

I shall do so. No hard feelings or threats are necessary.

[Ser Ilyn Payne]

I didn't ask you to leave. I asked you to apologize (you know for what). But, what with false pride and all, maybe that's unlikely to happen?

[doobs]

Many years ago, history was retold via the medium of verse...



I give you the Ballad of Irene Aldridge:



T'was the end of the week and all through the pad,

There was nada happenin', now thats pretty bad.

Europe had closed, with Asia well before,

The US was open, but not for much more.



To NP I drift and a new face is seen

Who likes a new book but generates spleen.

Standing alone against the existing members

but who is she to question the opinion of others?



All presentation and very low content,

she might want to make this an advert.

Mutliple Identities are a big no-no

But for publicity, maybe she gave it a go?



Fearing a meltdown and ever present,

our heroic admin makes his statement.

Politely requesting some apologizing

She misinterprets and reverts to insulting.



I couldn't help gawking, the old girl had class.

But I had to confirm -- she was appearing an ass.

Down out of the forum she fell with a crash,

And out of her pocket went her hoped-for stash.



The end.



Nemo: On a serious note, somebody once told me that building a reputation is like climbing a mountain: a long hard slog on the way up, but very easy to fall a long way back down at any time.



It might not be too late to turn this around, if you so desire.

Seriously "nemo," (hey, cool latin joke!) you do the community a sort of service by going on TV and such: why alienate your constituents with dumb sock puppetry?
