    High-performance trading architecture.

    Thanks nononsense, what's funny is my first thread entry I was hoping for more middle of the road solutions. Like lets say I'm a solid trader at some firm. I then go off on my own, what type of architecture stuff do I need. Usually that's taken care for me, and I have little interest in it...

    High-performance trading architecture.

    prt_systems - no obligation to respond but if you don't mind sharing, you went to grad school I believe, was it in finance or engineering. How did you get into such high end stuff? I find it a nice balance between my engineering background and my financial interest. Just curious.

    High-performance trading architecture.

    To be fair, maybe that's all jason_l was permitted to see. I think you eluded to this in one of your earlier postings - you dole out small pieces to different people for IP reasons.

    High-performance trading architecture.

    I expected to hear from you. :) You seem to be techish. PRT_SYSTEMS - Interesting. Anyone care to share a topology? Software or hardware. Here's what I found...

    Integrating News Into Automated Trading

    Wow, that's a tough one. Some how you need to translate imprecise language into precise computer logic. If I remember my AI courses correctly(seriously, that's a stretch), you'll be going down the road of AI and machine learning. Unless you build thing really amazing, I think the best you can...

    High-performance trading architecture.

    MAESTRO? What, isn't he in Toronto! I can barely afford gas in Colorado, let alone pay Petro Canada prices!! Though, maybe I can scrap together enough Canadian Tire money. :-) The GST kills me every time we go back to visit. We were in Belleville (yeah, I know) over the summer and my wife...

    High-performance trading architecture.

    Maybe you're right, then I could just pay some one else to figure it out. :) The engineer in me just craves the knowledge though.

    High-performance trading architecture.

    I agree, but I'm thinking if you are a mechanical based trader, ie. you've got custom code, you would probably want that in version control sytems - cvs, sourcesafe. If you do backtesting and own your own data, how do you back up the data. Since you own it, it's an asset that you want to...

    High-performance trading architecture.

    Hey All I've tried searching both Google and ET with little success. Here's what I'm hoping for... I would like to find some resources (books/papers etc..) that provide an outline/architecture of a high performance trading environment. For example, if I were a hedge fund, what type of...

    LCD-Television suitable for trading?

    This one is 24" wide aspect. It might be close enough. "maximum resolution of up to 1920x1200 pixels" http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=320-4221&c=us&cat=snp&category_id=6198&cs=19&l=en&Page=productlisting.aspx I just got the Dell 20 inch today and it's huge. Got it...

    G: Gillete, tomorrow's announcement

    http://today.reuters.com/stocks/QuoteCompanyNewsArticle.aspx?view=CN&symbol=G&storyid=228291+12-Sep-2005+RTRS Looks like 4 blades is the bet. Maybe metal - could be playing off the Moto Razor phone. Unless it's truly a breakthrough, it's more smoke than fire.

    CNBC and their satellite feeds

    A couple weeks ago, they had to cut off the Accuweather broadcast because their satellite feed was freezing. Mark Hanes said it was probably due to bad weather around where Katrina Voss was broadcasting from. I thought that was rather ironic - weather preventing news on weather.

    traders in montreal, toronto, etc...

    Ozzy, I would think buying a house/condo would be a great first step. The housing prices always seem to go up there, it's like you can't lose. We had some friends that moved to Vic. Island last year. They like the place but the houses are a fortune. So unless you are selling a house in Bridle...

    GM - how long before bankruptcy?

    I'll also add that I'd be curious in the mix of vehicles they are selling. Are higher gas prices leading people to look at sedans? GM's bread and butter, over the past few years, have been SUV's and trucks. Both comparatively higher margin to cars. They lost the car battle years ago. When...

    GM - how long before bankruptcy?

    The perfect storm is definitely brewing for GM. High gas prices, aging models, tremendous labor costs and questionable quality. Can't really give a time frame, but I hear the CAW is planning Sept. 8 to pick their strike target. That might help accelerate the issue. If they stick it GM, then...

    Zone Alarm

    nononsense - I agree, hardware is the prefered option. I was under the impression that the original poster was looking for a software solution since ZA was mentioned, so I answered in that order. I didn't mean to imply that software was better. Sorry if that's the message that I conveyed...
