From what a few former worldco trader friends of mine have told me, WorldCo traders relied completely on the specialist system. Does this mean that the NYSE single handedly buried not only Grasso, but WorldCo too? Any opinions on the matter?

Check this link out: http://www.nyse.com/about/p1020656067652.html?displayPage=%2Fabout%2F1022221392718.html looks like they forgot to remove his picture from the website.. He should not have been let go. He did NOTHING wrong

Is Alex G. Hevesi in any way related to Alan G. Hevesi? lol

Your post clearly indicates that you are right: no IQ test to post on this board. In the U.S.A., we are innocent until proven guilty; so far, there is no indication whatsoever that Grasso did anything wrong. No indication that he bribed or colluded with the NYSE board members. Therefore...

I have no affiliation with WorldCo. Why would I advertise for a a company without getting paid for it? lol

I just realized that you only deleted the link I posted to the WorldCo website. That seems fair (at least you didn't delete the entire thread or my question!). Thanks

You can do whatever you like with your website. I have no interest in furthering the goals of worldco whatsoever since I have no affiliation with the firm except that I know a few guys who worked there for a few years and who have since landed trading positions with Bear Stearns and JP Morgan...

sorry, but i gave you the wrong command line. Here is the correct one: c:\program files\quotemonster\java QM 19620101 20030913 :)

Writing the loops and program which reads files is SIMPLE. Connecting to the data source and extracting data from there was where I thought it may take some of my time. I had forgotton that yahoo ALREADY HAS A MECHANISM FOR DOWNLOADING HISTORICAL STOCK DATA. The task at hand is obviously...

I don't work in the computer science field though I am qualified to work as a software engineer or developer. You assume that information on how to mine data from data sources is easily available; without having looked into it myself, I am not as confident that that is the case. I know that I...

Why would the firm you speak of write a letter to the SEC at all if it wanted to keep a percentage of its traders' the profits (my understanding is that the firm hopes for a negative decision from the SEC so that it might claim a percentage of its traders' profits)? In other words, why not just...

do you know how to write a program that can get historical quotes from Datek? Thanks

It definately works. I downloaded data for every stock in yahoo's database from 1962 on. Now all I have to do is refresh my data once every so often (week?) so that the database stays up to date. here's the command line i used: c:\program files\quotemonster\java QM 01011962 09132003...

:confused: :confused: :confused: I guess it depends on how much experience one has with creating programs that mine for data. Here's one of 5 files required for the program: // Decompiled by DJ v2.9.9.61 Copyright 2000 Atanas Neshkov Date: 8/30/2003 9:48:20 PM // Home Page ...

Sorry but I don't think we have historical price data extending back 1000 years; not even for GOLD.

http://xmlworks.com/quotemonster/ Quotemonster is an Awesome program which downloads stock data from Yahoo finance. The data is stored in a text file and is easily converted to metastock and other charting formats. I think this find is a gem! http://xmlworks.com/quotemonster/

I wasn't referring to that particular advertisement when I stated that WorldCo's new advertisements claimed an excellent training program. Actually, I can't find the actual advertisement I came across a couple of weeks ago. If I do happen to come across it, I'll post it on here for those that...
