    The kidnapped British soldiers

    The UK and Iran were not at war and therefore, the captured British soldiers are not POW and the Geneva Convention does not apply. However, even if the Geneva Convention did apply, the Iranians could come up with some mechanism to get around it much like was done for Gitmo. In any event...

    The kidnapped British soldiers

    Ya think? This isn't really up for debate. It has happened before. It is standard procedure for this to happen: coersion of detainees to produce false testimony for the purposes of local propoganda. There is no evidence to support your hunch. What has led you to "believe" one way or...

    The Way Forward For Independent Traders

    Hi rosy2, I agree, it will be interesting to see how many people will actually post some code. If the emphasis is on "snippets" rather than entire projects then hopefully that will lower the barrier for posting. I have a couple of snippets I could readily post. For the same reasons, I'm...

    The Way Forward For Independent Traders

    There's plenty of web-based knowledge-base software that's either free or very reasonably priced. I like products such as: http://www.faq-manager-pro.com/ The difficulty lies in the taxonomy rather than the technology. My very brief experience in trying to get a community effort in ATS...

    What dose it take to develop

    I believe dose is dependent on height, weight and other medical factors. Please speak with your physician to determine a dose that is most appropriate for your personal circumstances. Also review these sites for some ideas: http://www.rightedgesystems.com/ http://www.smartquant.com/

    Decision Support, Pattern recognition etc. You can treat a neural net as a specialized indicator for example. How is it integrated into an automated trading platform? Well, you pump the net with market data from your feed and other inputs you desire and the neural net spits out decision...

    event processing API

    Yes, I played around with it a few months ago for detecting tick stream fall off etc. as per one of their case studies, but the potential to do a lot more is there e.g. book analysis. I'm building native support for it in my framework so that "strategies" can take advantage of it. I think...

    Learn to program with me...

    That's actually quite an ignorant and offensive remark. If you are a novice, then I suggest that this is a good book to get started with: http://www.amazon.com/Modeling-Financial-Markets-Basic-NET-Management/dp/0071417729/ref=sr_1_1/002-7773648-2624867?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174650609&sr=8-1...

    c++ or java for trading app development

    I concur with most that has already been said on the thread. Java is fast enough for my purposes so far. In addition, if you are exclusively going to be using IB, then Java makes a lot of sense. However, there are some interesting books coming up that are C++ based...

    trading system development

    You may wish to consider outsourcing this. I personally would be more concerned with connectivity reliability and redundancy with low latencies etc. Some options you might want to research: http://www.limebrokerage.com/index.php?title=Lime_Brokerage_LLC...

    Is fully automated trading a fantasy? Your opinions here

    It's perhaps due to the fact your home page has advertising links on it which I believe is against ET rules. Only ET sponsors are allowed to advertise their commercial sites on here.
