Which markets? Which tickers? www.opentick.com

I'm not sure which "new" modeling software from Think or Swim you are referring to. I'm aware of only one platform that has been around for several years. Admittedly, with regular updates - but the core remains the same. Are you referring to something else? In any event, I think you'll need...

IB's data feed is not true tick by tick. Instead it uses a snapshot mechanism to keep up to date with the market. This is an oft discussed issue on ET for example: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53426 Programs like Sierra etc. take the ticks provided by IB but...

The cheap hosting plans are shared hosting and therefore are fine for simple websites. You can even get away with some PHP/MySQL or ASP/SQL server stuff if you need but all of the caveats of shared hosting apply. You do not get root access as far as I remember; only FTP, so that may have a...

Yes, godaddy is fine for domain name registration. No, you don't need to pay for hosting to register a domain name. Optionally, you can just park it.

You don't NEED an event stream processor to do this. As was said, there are other ways of doing this that have been around a lot longer than event stream processing and are simpler for your specific purposes. A simple tick compressor is all that is needed. However, you do not get ticks from...

Unfortunately, this is gross misinformation and appears to be the latest in a long list of such.

Where did you get this from?

There's two different things here. The design aspect and the web page production. For pure graphic design with vector graphics e.g. to create logos etc. Adobe Illustrator is the tool of choice. Then to work with bitmap images e.g. photos or to combine graphics and layers etc. Adobe...

Are there two questions here? 1) Robustness in terms of dealing with practical issues such as physical failures of hardware, connectivity, exchanges, data feeds etc. 2) Robustness in terms of the trading strategy, algorithm or method as applied to the markets. I suppose, depending on...

Good luck with your venture. IMO, I would aim a lot higher than the first site you linked to. It is out of date and not that slick at all, but that's my personal opinion. It only has a few pages on it really, excluding the quotes and research pages which are themselves simple dynamic pages...

Agree, it is no more a Bush issue than it is an Ahmedinejad issue. It is my fault for a poorly worded post if you thought that was the main thrust of what I was getting at. In reference to Edwards, Obama et al, naturally, they, like the vast majority of the world would prefer Iran not to...

Thank you asap. I know it's not. I was just curious to see how Div_Arb was going to dig an even bigger hole for himself.

So why is selling a strangle better than selling a straddle? According to you, the strangle also has risk odds of 1 to inifinity.

It's a fascinating topic indeed. As an exercise, it can be interesting to think about things if roles were reversed i.e. how would one respond or behave in the following situation: 1) Out of about 200 countries, you are one of a handful to be branded as an "Axis of Evil". How do you feel...

What do unlimited risk and capped profits have to do with odds? Please justify why selling a strangle is better than selling a straddle.

Where's the knee jerk reaction? :eek:

Not free and not DDE or ActiveX but Hoadley's Derivatives Add-in can stream optionsXpress data into Excel: http://www.hoadley.net/options/develtoolsaddin.htm

You are perhaps not aware of the numerous reasons stated for why it's neccessary to have a separate forum for chit chat (and politics and religion) on a trading website. It has been discussed previously and can be found in the archives. If you frequent other topic-based forums that have...

There is evidence that DCA can cause significant side-effects such as toxic neuropathy: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=16476929 In addition, DCA has been shown to cause cancer in animals i.e. it is carcinogenic as was mentioned...
