Oh wait actually I remembered I saw one that had something to do with DTN/IQFeed... I googled and found this: http://nxcoreapi.com/doc/ Check it out.

Sorry I missed that. I thought you weren't even sure what you were talking about, there's lots of new posters here who are just plain ignorant and asking questions they don't understand answers to. You're not one of those I guess. In that case the answer is simple: no, there's nothing out there...

Well you could have mentioned that somewhere in your first post. You know that makes a lot of difference. If you want to code something for real, and use a real API, I suggest you get yourself a Windows PC. Then the choices are unlimited. Platform independance is useful when you are...

*sigh* ... first, that file can be extracted. second, what OS are you using. Windows/UNIX/Mac?

The first thing to do is get an anti-virus software (which will also protect you from adware and malware). The free ones aren't real protection, so you should fork something out. I've used PCs all my life (i'm a programmer) and the best AV was kaspersky so far. It doesn't slow down a PC so much...

Does it includes strategies? If yes, you need to tell us more about them. If no, nobody will be interested. There's lots of software out there.

It's not Java based at all. Only TWS is java based, the API can be for any platform you want. If you know C# you can use it in .Net with ActiveX controls. You can also use it with any COM interface, any language/platform that will take it. I'm not sure what you're looking for, or that in fact...

Yeah obviously i used a library (dll) to communicate with irc from my app. The trades were being monitored directly from IB via the TWS API, converted to infromative text and sent to irc. I used .Net and there are plenty of IRC libraries for .net if you search around. Depends what you use, so if...

Your question is too broad. What is a "good" market structure? Maybe you can do some analysis on a few 100 symbols/contracts like some of us did and find out. Look at serial correlation, descrete fourier transforms, volatility correlations, etc. Then figure out what markets are good based on the...

You could use something like http://www.mircscripts.org/comments.php?cid=2930 It's a script that reads your gmail account supposedly and relays the messages to IRC. Not sure how it works, haven't tried it but i considered the idea myself some time ago. I coded my own in the end. It's much...

If only it were that simple. It's not trading that it's all about. There are no issues with trading on the secondary market (the one you and I have access to), the issues are more closely related to the primary market such as the unresolved sale of securities to JP Morgan which JPM didn't pay...

Watch food prices when oil goes up. See what I mean?

People today are as well off as people in the 30s in relative terms, if not better. There has also been some minor changes in the distribution of wealth. The fact that there are now more people on the planet is economic progress itself, looking at the totals not per person. Would we all be...

That's your problem right there. Assuming.

Out of say a 100 trades per minute, when the market isn't moving much, let's say around 50/50 of the market orders will be at the bid/ask. If you're an HFT and you are in queue for the bid/ask, the market orders are to you. So you get 50 buys and 50 sells, and you earn the spread. So yeah that's...

The commercials are true hedgers. They're usually long whatever is going down. Paying for stability. Not everyone is in the market to make profits. lol @ "The Illuminati"

A lot might depend on how you want to integrate it to work with your own code, so you might need an API that is compatible. On the other hand if you are using something like a NinjaTrader interface, it might be easier. So the question is how good of an API do you need? Meaning, what kind of...

Interesting. Let's use speech recognition and develop HFT bots that buy/sell on each word uttered during a conference.

I didn't say anything about futures/commodities accounts. I only said that the standard SIPC coverage (securities and cash) applies to non-US citizens, that's all. It was worth mentioning because someone previously claimed it applied to US citizens only.

BTW for those who are interested, I just checked and the SIPC coverage applies to all clients of a broker which is a member of the SIPC, including those which are not US citizens. This means ALL clients of IB should be protected (even though in the worst case it may take years to get results...
