this really is a joke.. Cyprus needs a 10bn euro (£8.7bn; $13bn) - which is less than pocket change if you compare to what the ECB/FED spends when needed. this is more of a political message. but in any case, if the gov was short the markets before coming out with this news, they would've...

nice pic. cyprus government talk begins. the best thing that can happen is they leave the EU - which would be very bullish i'd say! http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/mar/19/eurozone-crisis-cyprus-bailout-government-vote#block-514855e3b5799f28f712f96e

any minute now the market will explode.. i think spx will hit a new high today and and rest of this week every day.. how about it?

has ANYONE noticed everytime the market dips it gets hold and bought? clearly the market wants to go higher, no? spx 1580-1600?

is this the most important week of the year? or the last five years? everyone is talking about market topping up, we have the fed this week and cyprus, option expiry, job numbers.. added to that market new highs, spx few points away and april the month market has sold for most years in...

any programming can be used to get data from yahoo, e.g. c# can very easily download yahoo historical data. for storage i recommend sql server. it's perfect, fast and does all you need.

hi guys, thanks for all the advice, appreciate it. this is why i posted - to know Im not going crazy. No don't get me wrong I'm not trying to catch a top - just that when the market whipsaws in a extremely tight range for this long it's not fun losing money anyhow i did something really...

it's not just losing money - i've had it much worse, it's more about the work - the approach - the life and suddenly it seems none of it makes sense and everything is changed permanently - so obvious the market is artificially controlled if you ask me. i dono maybe i've just freaked out...

this is really excruciating my mind is about to explode.. am i going crazy?

no - how do i sound like him? i don't come here too much, don't know anyone, but today i feel stressed - any thoughts? am i alone?

hi I've been very stressed out recently and today is really the worse.. what the hell is going on with this market going up in such a tight range in such an amazingly controlled speed and direction? is someone somewhere just trying to make a point that market is going higher and making...

Hi, Why don't you use lists? i.e. list<double> priceClose = new list<double>() this way you add or remove on the go using priceClose.add() lists are more appropriate for time series data analysis. Actually I don't know anyone who uses arrays anymore in the new world, unless for...

I'm simply using client.RequestHistoricalData from another method.. and it seems to be working fine - as e.RecordTotal returns the correct number of elements as I change the date range for the historical data.. yet I only can read one element through a.close etc..

ok thanks - but when I request the bar through assigning client.HistoricalData to a event handler - I'm only getting 1 data point - even thought I've requested 5 days worth of daily data? What am I missing? thanks edit: here is a quick example - using the c# wrapper - when I request my...

Can someone help me figure how to read back the data request through the IB API? the historicaldata event fires HistoricalDataEventArgs - I can read this i.e. .high or .low so it has data in it.. but it's suppose to have all the historical for the chosen date range - and doesn't have...

but you can't impose any lock up periods can you? they can easily take their cash out with click of a button for whatver reason (with the slightest of drawdowns) and you're done, correct me if I'm wrong? there are also umberella funds which charge less - but still around £15-20k a year plus...

Hi, that many languages? yeah maybe for a junior - but if you know the sector there are plenty of guys out there who can (and required to) code using c++, c#, python, R, kdb+ as there preferred ones for various tools (e.g. excel add-ins, server side services/libraries/ databases, GUIs).. there...

Gents, thank you all for your thoughts. I found all of them useful, in addition to everything I read on the net. I have made a decision. I wanted something that: 1. Super simple and user friendly 2. Fast and intuitive and not expensive (free if possible) 3. Windows based 4. Had a...

I had a look at some virtual machine pricing and it can get expensive pretty quick (I'm on a super budget).. can you have TFS and SQL server on the same VM or is there some limitations? thanks again for your input, I'm looking into it now - it also seems to be the best integration for VS which...
