REDI+ has a very simple VBA API in addition to VB and C++ API's. REDI+ Works for futures (mini's only) options and stock. You can very easily trade right from your Excel spreadsheet. Tradefactory has a bad ass JAVA API that is smokin' fast and can do anything you can imagine, works with stock...

I'm not sure everyone here understands what a millisecond is, or what exactly is causing the latency. A millisecond is 1/1000 of a second. The speed of light travels at 186,282 miles per second, which is also how fast your data travels unrestricted. A few quick calculations will tell you that...

Started with the nine states that didn't have any income taxes. Florida was my first pick because I am into boating/fishing and great weather (I hate cold weather). I toured the state and worked with over a dozen realtors to see properties all the way up both coasts. I didn't want to be in a...

I looked all over the country before I moved here. I have a 1/2 acre ocean front spread. 190ft on wide open deep water. It not only costs 1/2 (or less) of what it would on the east coast, but it is totally private. I mean backed up to a nature preserve and only see a couple of boats all day...

I have been running automated strategies for the past year and I have been using REDI+ and tradefactory. You probably should get a direct (T-1) connection for either of these products. They are both offered by Spear which has the most competitive rates in the industry. REDI+ is fine for...

It would be much cheaper (and better) to open an account with SLK directly. I don't know any hedge funds that use introducing brokers. I am in a similar boat and I have had an account directly with SLK for years now. There are several reasons; First of all, do you think any introducing...

SEC min is 500K. That means no one can legally offer you Prime services for less. Also, the way the law is worded, if your account were to ever drop below 500K (at the close) you would have to make up the difference or they would close out your account (instant margin call). To avoid this...

I have a huge pet peeve with nearly everyone on this board. I can't tell you how many times I am reading through a thread and I see someone talking about winners and loosers. Jesus F***ing Christ if you are gonna talk about losers at least learn how to spell it. Loose and Looser - tho...

If you were short the spread, which means short the acquirer and long the target, there is a 100% chance it will converge (if the merger happens). You should have just held the position until the day of the merger. If it is true the spead was $2 on the last trading day then you could have made...

There are some very expensive databases for sale (>100k) that contain historical tick data on all stocks (even delisted/merged). If you want to do research yourself the cheapest way is to build your own database using NYSE TAQ data (www.nysedata.com). It is $400 for each month of historical...

www.reuters.com The product is called Bridge Station. Most data services are shit. Tradestation is the worst. Their intra day data does not even match up against their own daily data. Bridge is the best I've found and seems to be very accurate.

My time and sales shows the NYSE opening at 9:48:24 with 639,800 shares crossed at 61.10. There were ECN's trading it at exactly the same time at 61.74 so I think this may be your point of confusion. Bridge time and sales shows each trade by exchange/ecn, etc. When I pull historical daily...

and it is just as expensive if you get it all added on. Bridge starts at about $275. I know it has a 10 day average daily volume. It is accessible via the internet or T-1. BTW Carlos, reuters is $1700 a month and requires a $1700 a month T-1 line as well (Radianz). I don't know where the...

TAQ data includes all exchanges....although you can break it out. I use bridge for historical data and I am 100% positive that they only use NYSE data for all of their historical data on listed stocks.

You should try using ITG's POSIT crossing system. If you get filled on POSIT, you are guaranteed price improvement. I have had pretty good fill rates using them, but it varies from day to day. They are also a good broker to shop your orders around. www.itginc.com

100mbs is faster than your hard drive. You need 1000mbs if you have a rack of hard drives serving a room of computers. Do what I say and make your life way easier.

If you are not a network wizard, then you are definitely going about this the wrong way. In fact, even if you were a network wizard you are going about this the wrong way. You need to do 2 things; 1) Disable or uninstall one network card from each machine and throw away those archaic...

No God damnit! No soup for you!!! Get out of my store!!! No soup for you!!! Rushmore will only do 1280x1024x4DVI!!! When slave asked for help, he didn't ask for the whole board to start guessing....lol
