I feel for you @OP I'm still an undergrad right now so I'm not looking for any full-time things Perhaps start by being a news junkie. It isn't just FX that's driven by news, don't be afraid to go to non-trad websites other than Bloomberg/Reuters Good luck

I don't remember quoting it, I remember reading it and seeing it is one of the popular articles on ssrn, that's why I suggested it. I don't understand all of it as I said before, but enough to get a better than normal gist of it. Also, because I don't actually trade anything right now as I'm...

I don't have the math background yet to fully understand it without sitting down for 10 hours to dissect it - I won't bother commenting since I don't think I'm qualified too (both mathematically and about the financial markets), but I will say that this stuff is pretty out there, as the...

Good point, a lot of the SSD's are theoretically better - hence marginally in real-world applications, I'm a heavy user of Adobe products and it makes some difference, I don't do video work much, but I suppose once I start backtesting I'll want to opt for a SSD. (But honestly, couldn't you just...

Could you also explain what 'red-black' trees are? Well to answer your first question, this is also a bias from when I've worked with ASM. Everything just became simplified, a pointer, a comparison, a flag check, moving memory around and basic arithmetic. Heaps: working with nodes, trees...

I said I don't know all of them, I have friends who are in Comp Sci and I know a lot of that is just lingo That reference was made to Black-Scholes, where during the original derivation - economists and mathematicians tried adding more and more stuff and making it more complex. I only made it...

I'm from UWaterloo, I know a few of them but not all - but I'm definitely willing to learn. I can't produce code in the same night and you aren't going to get the same code as someone with an Masters in Financial Engineering But I know that the success of an algorithm is not represented by...

I’m new to trading and I’m interested in algo and traditional trading. A bit of background about myself: Math background (actuarial science with pure math). Off paper – I’m been in the shadows of Reverse Engineering (Themida, tuts4you, I’ve worked closely with a member of SnD...

L1 is SRAM/L2 is DRAM Caches are on the same die (physically) as the processor, to put it simply: they are insta-memory on hand - there is no intermediary between the CPU and the cache (traditional memory has to go through buses). It goes without saying that 'the bigger the better' The...

Hey Jo I'm trying to get into automated trading (and occasional button pushing) and get a better understanding of the types of things to trade and the markets in general, I've also built computers/programmed lightly before I just starting trading stocks but it's only through my bank - I've...

Very well said Even if you are backtesting and there is a lot of I/O, it won't make a difference (maybe you'll spend 10%/20% more time) For those who wouldn't believe the Q9650 vs i7: (You can check the tech specs on Intel's website) Q9650 has a 12 MB Cache, The only 2nd Gen Non-X...

Anyone in Vancouver? I'm new and I just want to get a feeler and know how to get set-up, nothing revealing and too demanding, just a treat over coffee! Thanks
