Hi ForexForex, I don't have your SID, so I haven't tested your wma file. http://stream-recorder.com/forum/play-drm-protected-wma-files-linux-t5442.html Hope that helps.

90 days, visa not required http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_4.htm Search for U.S.A. on the above page. I know some foreigners go to Macau/Thailand every 90 days for extending their stay. But, I am not sure how many times they can do it. If you want to stay very long term or...

Hi Jack: Thanks! By the way, I drew a few days OHLC charts on A3 graph paper during new year and I found the following information very useful. By drawing the bars, I found something subtle. I would never notice that little things if chart plotting is done by PC. Really appreciate your...

Hi Jack, I have problem understanding the above statement. 1. When you say market pace peaks or volume peak, is it the same thing as "Peak Volume" used by Spydertrader? The following is the definition of Spyder's peak volume: Peak Volume also needs three bars to create acceleration...

Thanks. A quick question: does iqfeed client popup a dialog asking for "re-connect" if it is disconnected for a few times? As I mentioned above, QuoteCenter does popup a dialog.

Yes, I agree. :) Also, python is not a compiled language, many errors won't be found until actual running of code. But given the capability of quick testing of idea, I use python for ATS. C/C++ is my mother tongue, Python is my secondary language. :)

Hi fixedgrin88, I am almost finished building an automated trading system and every component run on Linux. For retrieving stream quotes, I implemented an auto failover system with two feeds from two different vendors. Currently, one feed is from Interactive Brokers and the other one is...

Thanks, Dr. Cooper. Really appreciate your help. I seldom heard people build everything in Python because everyone says it is too slow. I thought I was alone! In fact, it is fast enough for day trading but I guess nobody uses it for trading sub-millisecond timeframe. I code almost...

Hi 6yaNYCjm5m, Thanks! Another question: Which streaming quote provider are you using? Almost all "retail grade" providers require a windows component installed and I need a pure Linux streaming quote solution. Thanks!

Thanks tradelink and Joe Doaks. Looks like there is no "retail grade" streaming quote provider providing Linux solution? RMDS is a bit overkill for me.

I have a few questions: 1. how is their server reliability? 2. can I connect to their servers directly without installing any of their software? 3. how about the tick latency? thanks!

There are some apartments (or what we call "village house") in Lamma Island, the rent is around $4000-$7000 (HKD) for 350sq feet to 700 sq feet. If you only trade at home, there is no need to live near any business district. All outlying Island apartment rent is cheap, less polluted and...

You are right. Most of us don't notice we have a lost decade already. Hong Kong was having second highest GDP per capita in Asia. Now, it is after Japan, Singapore, South Korea. If we exclude the stocks from mainland china, Hang Seng index didn't go up for more than 10 years.

I can see US and UK traders are fighting against FTT. Something surprising happened in Hong Kong, some brokerage union and stock brokers asked the legislative members to propose a levy on derivatives a few weeks ago. HK is already having 0.1% for levy and 0.002% for SFC (HK version of SEC)...

Lesson learned: don't marry a lawyer if you a billionaire.

Hi 6yaNYCjm5m: I have some python codes running test on tick data. I found the windows version of python is ~10% faster than the linux version on the same machine. I am using Windows XP and Scientific Linux 6.1 (RHEL 6 Clone). I ran some profile test and the major bottleneck is CPU and...

We are trying very hard to protect our heritage- Cantonese (very close to the thousand year ago chinese language) not just money, they also dump on street, public transport. The locals are very pissed off.

I have a similar problem of parsing huge csv/txt files using python. My solution is creating a "pickled" file for the parsed csv/txt in the first run of parsing of data. For the second run, if the python program finds the pickled file, I load the pickled file instead. It's not perfect but...

Hi oraclewizard, Where can I find Jack's live signal post? Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jack, Correct me if I am wrong. Even the most skillful SCT trader in the world (I presume it's you) will find some of their FTT bookmarks violated? So, instead of debriefing why the bookmark is violated, SCT traders should learn what happens before bookmarks are violated...
