    Code for approximating SPAN futures options margin?

    I don't think the situation has changed since the last time the exact same question was asked a few months back. But please post here if you find anything. Good luck.

    The post history and that of your other handle is plain to see. You made a number of posts under the different handle without identifying yourself before you got caught by stu. Do you need me to link to the posts for you? I don't know why the need for revisionism. The point is that perhaps...

    Is it to do with his own failed attempt at creating/understanding the concept of a sock puppet? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2914812#post2914812 Jem lost all credibility when he proceeded to write about Jem in the third person - when it was him doing the writing...

    Start trading, boys!

    Interesting concept. You want to buy some space/time - a historical piece of time with the additional specification that that piece of time exists outside of a specific geographical location. Let's say I can arrange to sell you the whole of the 17th century for the whole universe, would that...

    Nice. Reminds me of a para-glide I once did in Rio. Landed on the beach.

    It doesn't make it right but he is not the only one - as this thread adequately demonstrates.

    Gmail Tap

    "I think the people who will be best served by G-mail Tap will be people with five fingers." Even funnier is that it's available as a real app to download, install and use.

    Incompetent People Too Ignorant to Know It

    I haven't been following your debate but on this particular point, the logic of the assertion you make is not valid - history is replete with specific minority groups being able to dominate a majority: whether it's Sunni dominating the majority Shi'ites in Bahrain, the ethnic Tigray peoples...

    Anyone coding in Assembler?

    No, it IS 1.5 cents p/h for 256MB RAM Linux instances. 12 cents p/h would actually get you 2GB RAM instances; if you actually needed that for each of the 1000 instances. And no, they aren't single core Pentium II CPUs. I assume that was a joke.

    Anyone coding in Assembler?

    Rackspace Cloud: 1.5 cents p/h => $15 p/h for 1000 CPUs. How much is your time worth? $100 p/h?

    Anyone coding in Assembler?

    Of course you can find use cases for using assembly for offline research but you didn't specify the criteria and my response was a reflection of my personal perspective only - it was a mistake for me to imply I was answering on behalf of everyone else. Most use cases that I'm aware of though...

    Anyone coding in Assembler?

    Yes, I know that but according to you GPU is still a "waste".
