    who brings futures and cash stock prices together?

    Look up the definition of arbitrage first, then get back to me.

    who brings futures and cash stock prices together?

    Which "electronic system" are you talking about? The premise that no-one would step in to take a "risk-free" arbitrage doesn't make sense. I think adequate links have been provided for you on this matter in your other two threads.

    Some random site ideas for Baron...

    Sure, but a large number of people visiting ET don't neccessarily need or have an opinion on daily broad index market direction - it's not pertinent to their type or style of trading. So if they were forced to pick one they might just pick the first option every time which could skew the data...

    I think we're continuing technical discussions over in: True Trade General Discussion: http://groups.google.com/group/TrueTrade-Gen or True Trade Development: http://groups.google.com/group/TrueTrade-Dev To answer your question, normally you run the Eclipse Product export wizard...

    Some random site ideas for Baron...

    Here are a few random ideas that you might like to consider. These aren't requests as such and they probably won't make you any money and may involve a bit of work. However, they may give ET some USPs over other forums competing in the same space and could also provide some interesting...

    ET's newest member: DOW 8,000!!! (exclamation marks are part of the handle and not my emphasis) http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=72395 I can't wait to see what this member is going to post about.

    Ignore that bit, I see it's bundled in the com.ats.resources project

    Off the top of my head, perhaps some people don't have the MySQL JDBC driver. Also suggest they try the following: 1) Don't use the named pipe URL so instead of: jdbc:mysql://localhost/ats?enable-named-pipe&socketFactory=com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory use...

    I think an ET thread would become unwieldly pretty quickly and the forums at IB are even worse. I don't really have a better suggestion other than a standard mailing list. Does Google code allow you to set one of those up?

    OK, had a quick browse through some of the code but will take a better look during the week once I've managed to get a working compilation. Some of the IBWrapper/Adapter code looks familiar? One major item you may want to add to the Wishlist is: Support for multi-instrument strategies...

    No, thank you. That was fast. Actually, lowering the barrier to entry for people who want to contribute is one of the surest ways to make the project a success. I think multiple pairs of eye-balls is already having a benefit.

    [POLL] Market Timing/Top/Bottom Calling/Cheerleading/Crash Prediction Threads...

    Crazy idea: Is there justification for having a separate forum for the daily prediction threads that are pervasive in the Trading forum? There seems to be essentially two groups of people: 1) Those that like to post their predictions on a daily basis for ego-stroking or other reasons...

    There's also a nested com.ats.model directory in com.ats.model project.

    The hard-life of a pre-alpha tester....Haven't managed to get the HEAD revision compiling yet. Problems with plugin dependencies. Will probably do a clean Eclipse install and build from there next time. In project com.ats.client you have two /src directories with duplicate directories and...

    Minor typo: Ibatis.jar needs to go in the com.ats.model project.

    Congratulations. I predict this is going to be big! Although JSystemTrader is being developed at break-neck speed and has a huge user-community, I've always shyed away from it due to some fundamental design and architecture issues that I couldn't get past. That, combined with lack of...

    Entry Barrier

    Right, sorry didn't mean to be rude. I think some of the true meaning of what you are asking may have been a little lost in translation. In addition to what nonlinear has pointed out I'll try and add some more information at the weekend unless other people contribute between now and then.

    Entry Barrier

    How many goes do you get? It's not a slot machine. On your first post you say that you have a stats background and work as a programmer in the back office of a city firm with access to Bloomberg? Something is not quite adding up here to me. Suggest you pick up any of the hundreds of...
