    Schwab Down

    Our tech ran the wholesale treasury back offices for the globals ( DB, SocGen, Barclays et al) FX,bonds,swaps etc. We never went down ( HP high availability and fault tolerant coding). Another aspect was that we had to import other people's tech when banks took over smaller ones. At first it was...

    Hi Vicbee a very wise decision. I'm a retail trader as well but learnt my chops on TOS. Tom and the team learnt about complexity clouding judgement.

    news feed for SPX

    thanks I tried that and entered SPX on the search line and nothing came up. What I am looking for is a feed that gives me a one liner that has the time and a simple description of an event specifically to a symbol, in this case SPX. I'll go back and try some of them again and see where I went...

    news feed for SPX

    I'd like to do that but I can't seem to get it working for the SPX. I just want to add a feed that prints any pertinent event that has caused a move in the SPX. An example might be the results of NFP or the FOMC rate decision.
