If you can accurately analyze the market and are able to play a sound to represent the current market condition with little or no delay and a high correctness probability ... why not just make the thing automated? The latenency with which you would act would probably only ruin your profits...

For the original posters question ... Java Real Time: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/realtime/index.jsp

Well of course you would -- you don't even recognize the fundamental purpose for the MBA: networking. It has nothing to do with what you learn, and everything to do with who you meet.

But the point is, Buffet has consistent returns for many many years on end. Many of these mutual funds that have done phenomenally have bet the house on a speculative bubble, and just like many of those in 1999 -- they will end up losing most of their investors money once the bubble deflates...

OLE -- object linking and embedding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Linking_and_Embedding

Sweet. CACFX has almost no record, and DPCRX didn't do much for several years until the China bubble came. There were plenty of funds that did 100%+ returns in 1998-2000. Just not many of them were around by 2002. Lets see how these funds do in 5 years. Buffet has quite a bit of history on...

There is a difference between how much you risk, and how much you utilize. You can utilize 10% of your trading capital while still only risking 1-2%...

Couldn't you could just wake up earlier? :confused:

TSGannGalt -- you ever used Java's Real-Time system? It is supposed to be great in performance critical threading systems! I haven't touched Java in a while, so I haven't gotten to play with it yet, but I hear good things. I don't use a high frequency system, but I have been struggling with...

I personally just found nothing to disagree with in your post, Mr. Galt. Though, since my experience in the field is very limited -- and only to automated investment systems -- I would love to hear about your experiences and what you are currently trading now. I figure the only thing free in...

In my opinion, to develop any sort of 'quantitative' model, the tools required increase in complexity exponentially along with the strategy. Creating a simple screen for stocks that moved above their 200DMA but below their 50DMA? Excel will do fine. Trying to write custom back testing...

Booking -- it is possible to define a k-nearest neighbor NN with a threshold and simply have three outputs -- apple, orange, neither.

Personally, I am all about the actual languages -- but the impression I get from my time at Wilmott is that Matlab/Matematica/Maple/R/Excel are the most commonly used tools. Once a quant develops a strategy, it is up to the quant developers (who get bonuses from the IT pool, not the trading...

If I were a lesser man, I might take that bait, seeing as I am both a computer science major and attend an ivy league institution. We seem to take a lot of flak. Too bad I agree with you. The majority of kids in my major have little or no social skills, and the majority of 'business' majors...

Thanks a million guys.

I am looking for a data feed or website that allows me to view historical information like P/E, debt-to-equity, yield, return on capital, et cetera on a day by day historical basis. I am looking for the sort of thing where I can easily request data by simply giving the date. If I have to parse...

FSLR maybe?

Obviously they want to re-coop their losses! :D

Yeah, probably :D But as long as the protocol is open, I have no issue implementing it myself. I just want a fast, reliable connection that gives me access to all sorts of financial information. All I will really be doing is EOD calculations, so stuff like debt-to-equity, current ratio, et...

Nobody has any info? Ah well.
