It means, pick your language, study how threading is implemented on it, study threading best pratices, parallel computing theory, scheduling, etc. Study it until you know how to manage threads as well as you can drive your car :) About memory, it is quite simple actually, use C++, write your...

If you are concerned about performance, your only choice is C++. Really. Java is a great language, but all it is 'great' features comes at the cost of execution perfomance. Same thing for all .Net languages. I personally love C# but it isnt a hammer for all nails, that is for sure...

Hey ecoscien, Only realtime operating systems can do real 'hard-realtime' processing. I am pretty sure there are not many hard-realtime trading systems out there. No chain is stronger than its weakest link, right? Well, in our case the weakest link is the network. TCP/IP isnt 'hard-realtime'...

Now, that makes sense to me :D I sure hate to be up at 6:30, what about you guys? Who else here like to trade the market's opening?? :cool:

Thursday 12th sounds great to me! Who else is in? :)

Hey Azmi, welcome to the thread :) Which broker do you use? So, are you in for a get together?

Oh, yeah, TA-Lib is *quite* good! It seems like the NinjaTrader API is also quite interesting. I was more confortable with it's past iteration (TradeMagic) but well, definitely something one should look into it. Its .net though, dont expect out-of-this world performance :)

Its sad but hard-fact comparisons are hard to find. Most benchmarks are just too synthetic to be taken seriously. I would say your machine still have 6 to 12 months to live before an upgrade is due. I work with two computers, one is a 1.5ghz Centrino laptop and the other is is a 2.8ghz...

Hi there! Forex eh? How is it treating you? :) I trade part time, soon to be full time. Peace, mrtwo

I am actually quite interested in knowing more about Genesis. How do you like their service? :)

LOL, mine will but I am not sharing it ;) Peace, mrtwo

Is anyone out there using the NinjaTrader (former TradeMagic) API? :)

:p Yeah, the one thing about SmartQuant is that it doesnt do anything, really! It is just a framework where you plug-in your own logic. I had a chance to step thru their code using a disassembler a while ago and I must say it is quite good. The price is a little high I think but if you...

I dont know nononsense, I wouldnt dare do an AI system in Python. Hummm but yes, you sure have a point there, if your intent is to develop a rule based system, I must agree that Python is a viable alternative if you are cool with interpreted languages. Something about having source code in the...

I would say that building your own is the way to go ecoscien and I highly recommend C++ for the task. As how complicated would it be, it is hard to say. It depends on what are you trying to accomplish. If you just want to get a monolithic rule based system going, it would be quite simple. If...

Now we are talking! Second week of january, maybe? :)

Beer is right! :D

Cool, I trade futures most, looking into equities now. Are you with IB?

Yeah, I head the same thing about HP from a couple of people. Dell is good, IBM is great, Sony is for those who likes computers that only looks good :P

Oh, that is weird. I work with 1 minute data and I have no problem storing 6 months of historic data for a couple hundred of symbols at once. Do you ever visualize your charts in a frequency higher than 1 minute? I use Amibroker in realtime with 1 minute charts and it works great. The...
