You are cherry picking markets. Japan is unique among major markets in that the population is declining, and aging, rapidly. Declined over a million people in the last 5 years. And unlike the US, Canada and Western Europe, Japan refuses to compensate by increasing immigration. And it's not just...

How about running TWS on a desktop and using Android to remote into that desktop?

I can't speak for rb7's credentials, but as for mine, I coded part of the Nasdaq trading platform. However, my internal knowledge of how the exchanges work is 15 years old. Things may have changed since then. It is plausible. I subscribe to NxCore for streaming data, and I remember once...

None. It is not unsual to get trades out of sequence, especially near market open, market close, or after hours. However, a 7 seconds difference while the market is still open is a bit much. Not all trades reported by an exchange actually take place at the exchange. For example, if a broker...

When was the last time you stopped and restarted the IB Gateway?

I would not recommend C++ as you first language. It is much easier to make programming mistakes such as memory corruption in C++ than in Java, or C#.

You are absolutely right. The sun has more to do with the weather than CO2 does. Now perhaps you could take a few minutes and go learn the difference between weather and climate.

You are dreaming if you think that coal can compete with other energy source when it comes to generating electricity. One coal plant per week is retired in the USA, and replaced mostly by a natural gas plant, or much less frequently, a solar or wind plant. No power company or executive in his...

I don't think that Microsoft bought GitHub to make money. The numbers do not support that. I believe Microsoft's goal wants to keep better track what open source software is being developed, and having growing usage, so that Microsoft can incorporate similar features in their software, before...

Actually that would not be theft, per se. The MIT license permits anyone to repackage and resell the MIT-licensed software, as long as the include the MIT license in the package.

It could be the monitor, the video card, the video cable, or the computer. First step is to isolate the problem. Try a different monitor, a different video cable, and if your PC has multiple video ports/cards, a different video port. If running Windows, reboot the PC in safe mode (Google how to...

Nasdaq cannot legally stop IEX from listing companies, so they are applying pressure by suing for patent violations. My guess is Nasdaq hopes IEX will settle the patent suit by agreeing not to list companies. According to the article: Nasdaq claims that IEX is infringing on seven patents that...

I use MySQL and MariaDB, so I can only offer general (as opposed to specific) suggestions for Microsoft SQL Server. My first suggestion would be to find/install a GUI tool to make it easy to do SQL queries. Microsoft has a free tool, SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio). Search your PC to see...

You may already have most of the software what you need already installed on your PC. Depending on what you want to accomplish, my guess is that is would be easiest for you to learn to do SQL queries. First step is determine what flavor of SQL you are using. Edit the C# code, with Notepad...

Have you considered using a SQL database? If you have too much data for Excel to handle a SQL database could easily handle it. You would have to learn SQL, but it is much easier than learning a programming language. And, if you eventually migrate to using a full programming language, they all...

One caveat. In all states that have legalized marijuana, beer sales have gone down. That could be why Constellation Brands recently bought a 10% stake in a marijuana company, Canopy Growth.

Actually they lowered guidance to $2.70 - $3.00. They pay $2.40 per year in dividends. The reason for the 7% dividend yield is that the market thinks there is a strong chance they will have to cut the dividend in the future.

Before you invest in this theory, you should listen to the Freakonomics podcast on female CEOs. It appears that most of the time when a Fortune 500 company hires a female CEO, it's because the company is really screwed up, so the company figures they have nothing to lose (GM, Yahoo, etc.)

If one USD Coin is worth $1, how will Goldman make money from the USD Coin? Perhaps they will charge merchants a fee for usage, similar to Visa.

Or you could use PayPal, where the transfers are instantaneous, and, for person to person transfers, free.
