Yeah, its not entirely scientific, how I have done the tests.. however, for each configuration, I did run them a number of times to verify consistency and the results were nearly identical for each pass.. the latest test on x64/MinGW was showing (for example) 1.04 to 1.11 seconds for the last...

This is interesting. Installed Bloodshed 5.0 beta on WinXP x64.. the results leave both Visual's in the dust - very comparable to execution under Linux using native GCC. I tried Suse and the performance is almost identical (although the Linux versions in general are noticeably faster for...

Here is the exact procedure: Windows is installed on your primary disk. Install Linux on a separate partition and/or disk. Be sure to have Grub installed on one of your new Linux partitions. (I create a dedicated /boot partition for bootloader/kernel). After installation is complete...

There is another workaround if you don't want to mess with your Windows partitions.. The distro's I have been trying lately (Suse, Novell, RHAT) all let you choose where to put Grub - I just put it on the dedicated /boot partition of that Linux distribution.. then you can get a utility called...

Thanks, Nitro. I have added it to my list. Installed Novell Linux Desktop 9 - has different quirks compared to RedHat - almost wish I could combine the best of RHEL and NLD.. The only source code difference for this test was that the Windows versions use ctime, clock()...

You are probably right, but the code is exactly the same - in fact I took the code that was modified (very slightly) to work under KDevelop/g++, and put that back into VS2003 (complied fine with not a single change, of course) - still much slower than the gnu version - that is what I based the...

Thanks again. I do see the convenience of using vectors over C - which is why I am experimenting with them now - simple to implement, less prone to bugs, etc. Let's say I have four vectors - one each for OHLC.. they grow dynamically as the data grows - fine. Now where are you pushing your...

Thanks Spelunk, That's what I figured. I thought of doing it that way - but the problem is, with the custom Vector of a Vector, I can grow each internal Vector row dynamically with calculated data.. was hoping to use iterators to simplify/expedite the process of accessing/manipulating the...

Thanks Rufus. I will try it out on VS.

Firstly, I am a bit surprised that no-one was willing to give a helping hand with my simple coding question, given the level of expertise that permeates from the vast amount of 'code philosophizing' that takes place in other threads. No big deal, I will probably have to rethink how to structure...

Hi Fred, Can you elaborate more on this? When using Globex native stop orders, I can choose stop limit or stop market - and always thought it is the same type of native stop order offered through any other broker/platform.. and therefore will be filled in the same manner regardless of...

For me, Globex native 'stop market' orders fill at 0.0 to 0.1 slippage (no slippage to one tick slippage) most of the time - however I have experienced bigger slippage when a small truckload of contracts are gobbled up at one time - 0.4 to 0.5 (4 to 5 ticks) under these conditions.. my worst was...

You might encounter some difficulty using a Windows operating system disk that was packaged with another Dell computer, although I am not 100% sure. I just reloaded a Dell with the supplied Windows disk (not the restore disk) and no activation was required; it might be designed to work only...

Thanks, nono - I will certainly investigate Python when time is available. For now, I am going to try to keep pushing on with C/C++. Another quick STL question if someone has a second. Using the <i>min_element</i> algorithm is easy in the following case: vector< double> test...

Cool, thanks. Seems that 3.5 is the latest. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sfu/default.mspx strsep seems to be just fine, except that you have to check for empty string; surely a negligible performance difference:

lnt.reserve(15); now its 3 seconds.. yes, i'm pretty happy. (already had bardata.reserve(55000);) have to learn how to count the lines in the file and use that variable instead of 55000...

sorry, 5 seconds (after pushing onto vectors) - still much faster. 2 is without the pushes. 5 is still significantly better than 58..

error C3861: 'strtok_r': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup ..msft always has to spoil all the fun. hope i can get vc71 compiler to work with it.. and if not mistaken, it seems that vc71 is not c99 compliant (unless i am missing something).. argh, there are so many...

holy! so much faster (now that its working) - reads the entire 50k line CSV file in 2 seconds!! it tooks about 58 seconds using strings and streams. This is probably a kludge, but it works: while(npt) { npt = strtok(NULL,tokseps); if(npt) { convertit =...

<i>strtod()</i> is not happy after the string is empty - the inner <i>while</i> loop completes the last iteration before breaking, and <i>strtod()</i> does not want an empty string, perhaps? I'll find it. Sorry for thinking out loud. It was easier using C++ strings and streams, but I...
