Sorry forgot my beer :D , had to come back... Have to apologize to the original poster... have a very short fuse for "hftvol" experts. Integer is way to go, all knowledgeable ppl already explained everything, nothing to add. Listen to the wise man. And you "hftvol", told you don't bother...

Is there anything or anybody out there to take the keyboard away from that idiot hftvol or whatever his name is?? Jebus f**in ch**st, once in 3 years end up reading a thread or two, and curse hours after that, why I wasted 15 mins of my life.... Endless suply of morons with unlimited energy to...

It wouldn't really help much... It is not looping over the url, it's the lines created with split. As I said, it is quite awkward thing, because the library does not provide any other way to get the info about the objects on the chart. The function <getHTMLImageMap> (as the name suggests)...

unpack what? nothing is packed to start with...

Thank you for finding it interesting. In a certain way, the issue of performance is a bit too overrated nowadays. 20+ years ago you had to pay much more attention, while today's hardware is heavily compensating for deficiencies of the modern software. You still get 100% difference between the...

Hi Christophe, Sorry for the late response, have been very busy lately cranking up the non-profitable algos an masse... I have prototyped only some stuff with ChartDirector and do not have nice working example, but will try to help with some snippets. That's right, the whole image is...

Well again, with all due respect. "iqfeed is tcp-based" is correct, but irrelevant for the situation we are talking about. "so it will work on linux" is not correct, we agree "no special iqfeed or windows libraries required" is irrelevant because you need winz operating system to run iqfeed...

Well, everything is tcp based (except online games using udp), so that is platform irrelevant. To the best of my knowledge they do not allow direct connection to their servers, you have to use their client which resides on your box, and that client is windowz based. I have found some requests on...

There is actually excellent provider, BarChart/DDF. I have tested their feed, and it looks really good, based on the limited testing time. The instrument selection is comprehensive and documentation is pretty good, simple and straightforward, no complicated bs. You have to take a look yourself...

Well, it's always tricky to enter the conversation about the performance, because it is very difficult to make so many variables involved in system to be static, while you measure the single one you are interested in. Usually I go with credible sources of information where numerous people report...

Admitting being biased against anything Microsoft is involved with, my question is really why? To OPEN myself to CLOSED, PROPRIETARY environment that's mostly sub par?

I'll be damned, chromosome... I thought you were looking for some help, while in fact you are one old python lurking around for some inexperienced chicken... take care

No issue there whatsoever. While I might heavily dislike xml and such, it is everybody's right to do in house data processing any way they need or see it fit, just don't force me to process it using the tools I don't like and to introduce one more message transformation layer that maybe...

That's only the prototype, not having really intention to develop a full blown app, although 75% is already there. It's utilizing ChartDirector lib, which is a C++ lib and wxPython is just a wrapper for wxWidgets, which is also C++, so the whole thing is pretty fast. The charting lib is not...

My point with communication protocols is they should be plain character, with good message structure, verification, etc., where parties obey to the clear docs how to process the messages. Simplified, but that's the way we are platform agnostic, I couldn't care less if you are using a wooden...
