I have a decent amount of experience and a lot of already written code in C# from a previous venture. I am reading on the forums that Ninjatrader would be a pretty good place for me to house and run my strategies. But does anyone have a reccommendation on which broker to use, in terms of...

I must agree with the fellow who was banned with no warning. After 5 years they did the same thing to me. I woke up one morning and it was off. They claimed that I was "scraping their headlines" therefore I must be redistributing it to multiple users. The reality is 3 things: 1. I...

actually, it isnt so much the number of stocks I am running; rather it is the fact that my current firm considers their market data and the transmission process completely proprietary and i am not allowed to "peek" behind that wall so, they send their data to my server#1 and i then process...

Long story short, i've been trading for 12 years, mostly hand/eye but always with the goal of automation/black box. Paid a ton; professionally coded box is now ours, source code plus addons, as needed...Most external data comes from simply written C#, perl scripts or excel vba macros; nothing...

For the last 7 years, I've traded under my own banner but I began my trading at one of the big (now absorbed) Wall Street firms. For a long time, specifically during busy or earnings season, I have collated my own data each night and following morning using some copy/paste, some excel, and a...

With all due respect, HILO, we've been doing this for years, and 2005 was our best year to date. So we know about daytrading thanks, though it is not the only format we employ. Despite your comments, our metrics told us that, barring extraneous news, the stock had hit the price at which we...

We were absolutely aware of the inventory report in the sector, and it was specifically the "overreaction" in this particular stock that piqued our interest. Never-the-less, I wonder if this wasn't a tactic specifically employed by the market maker(s) who were selling inordinate size to mask...
