    Microsoft rolls out its gigantic new tablet.

    Someone in China is likely to produce these within a year at half that price.

    VBA Grand Master

    I have not tried their Excel COM/ActiveX API workbook. A few years ago they only had the DDE version. It's not possible for the ActiveX version to not be equivalent functionally to the DDE version because of API limitations.....as the ActiveX API is totally comprehensive. It's likely the...

    .....until the grim reality sets in: 1) Their Excel DDE workbook is horribly coded and is in need of total rewrite (that would be a great job for you to take on !) 2) Their COM add-in is loaded with quirks and bugs. Subscribe to their API users forum for some real-world feedback.

    Good article about commercially available trading systems

    This is just a guess: 5 seconds ATIT: 30 trading days 5 minutes ATIT: 300 trading days 5 hours ATIT: 3000 trading days (6-7 years) 5 days ATIT: 20 trading years It's pretty obvious from this why high frequency trading has become so popular. Who wants to die before their system is fully forward...

    When did the COM addin become available ? I remember struggling with their ever-so-awful ThinkScript coding environment about 3 years ago.

    Good article about commercially available trading systems

    This article is a perfect example of why you must forward-test any system, either purchased or home-grown. The big issue is: How long must it be tested ? The biggest factor in that determination is "average time in trade" (ATIT)....5 seconds, 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days. The longer the ATIT, the...

    Can you please recommend software

    We're in the same boat.....with the main issue: Do we want to waste time learning a new language and/or a new platform or... Do we want to spend our time trading with a known tool ?

    UK trader arrested for May 2010 U.S. Stock market flash crash

    I forgot to add this: To single Nav out amongst all of these other "characters"...now that's the REAL CRIME.

    UK trader arrested for May 2010 U.S. Stock market flash crash

    It's in the link you had embedded. Some over-zeolous bureaucrat made that statement. They're really grasping for straws here.

    Nothing but China ?

    FXI options....not many other choices.

    UK trader arrested for May 2010 U.S. Stock market flash crash

    Poor analogy. The CME allowed unlmited cancelled orders, didn't charge for excess cancelled orders, and thus they effectively promoted spoofing. So Nav did what they allowed, faked-out a lot of other bots and traders, and made some money. Where's the theft ? Also, with rerspect to markets, there...

    Microsoft rolls out its gigantic new tablet.

    Surf - I am going to build a trading app for this device so I can trade from it standing up. How cool is that ?

    Microsoft rolls out its gigantic new tablet.

    It's not a tablet, it's a large touchscreen device, that's all. A tablet is something you carry around.
