    Should IB program a non-Java TWS?

    IB's use of Java probably extends even to backend processes, in an effort to streamline the tech and standardize. Converting TWS to another technology would probably hinder this synergy, and in my mind be a waste of effort.

    Dell 24" LCD

    Looking for 2048x1536 in a flat panel. That way I can go quad 1024x768. It seems they only want widescreen or faster gaming.

    A professor I had in college once told me: Programming is not computer science. Everybody stared at him. I think it sunk in, though.

    Nothing like Assembler for teaching the guts of the PC. PASCAL is a good learning language.

    Probably Java these days. Though if I were doing a career in CS, I'd learn assembler and work up from there.

    I think it comes down to what you're most productive in. A part of that is the tools you use while programming. If you can code like a god in VB, then stick with what you know. Python, Java, whatever. I happen to like Qt through Visual Studio 6.0. I will probably be using this combo till I'm old...

    BEST J-TRADER FEED around

    I don't have a problem with GHCO. Miss the ACH transfers of IB. One thing I have a beef about is the PATS API. One of the most frustrating and difficult processes I have ever programmed for. Several things I'd mention: 1) Lack of good testing server. You have to buy time on their servers to...

    AMD 64 X2 3800 for multitask trading

    Please do not confuse multi-tasking with -multi-processing. In the former, an OS can run processes "at the same time". In reality it is just switching between them very quickly (imperceptibly). A multi-processer OS can distribute those tasks to several processors, so that the individual tasks...

    Esignal problems !!!!

    I don't have reliability problems with esig. I trade HSI. It's only when I noticed esig lagging Sierra/IB that I started to be concerned. Sure there are not as many bells and whistles. And the price is not a concern. But it is not worth it to me to have any lag.
