    What kind of Software Interests you?

    Does my order/ lot size push the market in a particular direction?

    The larger size you trade, the more that slippage becomes a problem. This is true on any market, those who are trading large size do so patiently accumulating or distributing their positions slowly, bit by bit. 20 lots will probably not move a market as liquid as the EuroUsd much, but if your...

    Order Book: Who gets matched first? Order queuing/matching algo question...

    Most exchanges work with Price/Time priority. Where price means that Bids and higher prices and Offers at lower prices get filled first. Then within each price level, the oldest order gets the first fill. But there are some that operate on pro-rata or Price/Size priority. In this case, within...

    Anyone running their algos on AWS?

    AWS comes in handy if you need to scale up in heartbeat and then scale back down in another heartbeat. For example, if you want to collect every tick and every order for every symbol like FINRA does...

    Machine Learning Algo for Trading

    Im not sure if it is the right approach... if anything it'll allow to reuse techniques developed for machine vision (such as CNN's) and *maybe* avoid some of the pitfalls of working with timeseries data... Although RNN's do seem to be a more natural fit for the problem at hand. My initial...

    Machine Learning Algo for Trading

    Hey guys, pretty nice discussion so far. How do you get adapt the CNN's design to work well with time series data? I was under the impression that these nets are better suited for machine vision tasks, and other nets such as RNN's (LSTM in particular) and Markov Nets are better suited for time...

    Do you care about maker/taker fees?

    But on the retail level you're paying way more than the $0.20 on 100 shares that you get from rebates... The rebate may help a bit with the cost, but it's not going to put you on the green in that league.

    Do you care about maker/taker fees?

    maker taker fees get more important as you get closer to institutional HFT... if you're holding positions for sub-second to a few seconds, then those fees are your bread and butter; if you are a retail investor holding positions for months, they're just a rather small fee on top of a much larger...

    strategy developer wants to team with a professional trader

    I think he means that he develops the technology, and can take a strategy given by the trader and put it into software... He states that he has a platform, fully certified with CME, not that he has a profitable trading strategy. It sounds like he's a developer. not a trader... and is looking...

    What's the difference between BATS Europe and local EU stock markets in terms of order execution?

    most brokers offer some kind of smart router... but even if routed manually you do have some protection from the market's rules... If you're taking liquidity on a retail platform it should make little or no difference. If you're working on an institutional system or optimizing an execution...

    Where to find daily historical stock prices including percent change?

    What's the difference between BATS Europe and local EU stock markets in terms of order execution?

    They only execute a small % of daily volume across the different indices. But thanks to MiFid2 best execution rule the prices should follow each other very closely... even if it isn't as liquid as the main exchange. https://www.batstrading.co.uk/
