Hi Murray The last time I used Power BASIC was version 6.11. Is there a specific thing that you need help with, like declarations or inline assembly? Feel free to post some code or reply by email. Richard

I'm referring to writing your own database engine in C++ or C#. One file for all symbols. You need a header in your file with an index that points to the offsets for each symbol. You will have empty space after each symbol that is allocated for new data. You will simply grow the file when space...

We have a product for this at www.modulusfe.com/apr/ It can be used to scan for patterns, automatically place trades, etc. Feel free to ask specific questions here or by email.

Try to read and write to 50,000 symbols as individual files on NTFS. The process can take several minutes. Then try a memory mapped file, which should take less than a second. This was discussed here before...

My appologies if you had trouble contacting us earlier in the year. We were in the process of relocating the office from Chicago to Scottsdale, AZ and it wasn't a smooth transition. You can reach me personally at (888) 318-3754 x87 Richard

Thanks Greg. Unfortunately, the FreeMarketData.net servers were brought down by developers who provided our service to thousands of end-users without registering them in our system. We couldn't find a way around this problem. We just couldn't do load balancing if the users were not registered...

Microsoft .NET is not a kindergartner language. The nice thing about .NET is that while a kindergartener could learn .NET, its just as powerful as C++ for most applications. Nevertheless, we write all our user interfaces in .NET because it is easy, and we write all our CPU intensive backend...

If you want to build your own trading software in VB.NET and either use it for your own trading or resell it to other traders, we have a complete application already built. You can buy the source code, change it a bit, and rename as your own software. Please see www.m4demo.com This...

Trading on the Edge by Deboek published by Wiley Richard

Modulus is building a new trading platform that will be given away for free by all popular brokerages, and I would like to ask ET members for input on the product design. Modulus will offer you 10% off any product or service (pm for details) in return for your suggestions that are helpful. Also...

I know exactly what happened and why it happened, but I can't say (its confidential). Modulus was going to acquire TradeBolt but in the end we didn't. I think someone else did and that's OK.

ScanTheMarket.com is good for this. They have end-of-day scans where the last bar is always 15 minutes old.. and they (Genesis) are working on setting up 5 and 15 minute bar servers. Richard

I agree. Or even VB.net.. which is easier than C# for some people. Whatever he starts with, he can always move up from there.. then the sky is the limit. Richard

Yes but then later try to do a select on a certain span of data or request bar history and you'll see the differences in linear databases such as SunGard's data server, RMD Server, HDF5, etc. and RDBMs like SQL Server, Oracle, Access, etc. The problem is in retrieving the data. RDBMs are not...

I don't share my systems so I name them "profitable", "extremely profitable", "unprofitable", and "total crap", etc. Richard

Not yet. Genesis Securities plans to change the data feed but they haven't got that far yet. For now you have to use the previous close.. REF(Close, 1) Genesis will be adding the pre/post market data soon, I'm sure. Richard

Well, maybe. But try this on Yahoo! with 11,000 stocks at once :D # Buy if a previous value was below the low Bollinger band and is now above SET Bottom = BBB(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL) SET Top = BBT(CLOSE, 20, 2, EXPONENTIAL) FIND STOCKS WHERE (((REF(CLOSE, 1) < REF(Bottom, 1)) AND...

Yes you could scan just after the opening and you can include volume: SET EXCHANGE = NASDAQ FIND STOCKS WHERE Low > REF(High, 1) * 1.01 OR High < REF(Low, 1) * 0.99 AND VOLUME > AVG(VOLUME, 30) or you can do: AND VOLUME > REF(VOLUME, 1) or even VOLUME > EMA(VOLUME, 30), etc..

TraderMojo.. thanks, will update the reference. gwb-trading.. A small group of symbols are missing fundamental data but its being worked on.. its a work in progress. Also planning to add free commodities data in the next couple of months. Thanks! Richard
