I respect your desire to try to distill the thread into a small list of definitive conclusions. However, there are far more subtleties and nuances at play than your bullet points would seem to suggest. There are just too many different kinds of automated trading, that to try and lump them...

I would put it much higher than that using the thread view/post ratio as perhaps an indication. I wonder how many ET members would be left if all those that had not logged in for 6 months got deleted.

Unfortunately, no, it wouldn't :eek:

Glad you like it, I hope there are one or two things you might find of use buried in it. I haven't been updating the thread recently for a variety of reasons but I haven't entirely abandoned the effort either. Please feel free to add your own design decisions and commentary to the thread even...

If you're new to design patterns et al, you may want to check out: Head First Design Patterns It might be a little patronizing/long winded if you are already quite familiar with most of the GoF patterns though. Also, if you want to take your standard Java to the next level: Effective...

Suggest using Commons CLI for any command line handling situations in your programs: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cli/

I concur. Also have a look at: Digester: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/ XMLBeans: http://xmlbeans.apache.org/

I apologize for not responding earlier. The thread didn't spark quite as much community involvement as I had hoped for. So, I haven't been to ET recently and I've put the development on the backburner. Instead I've been brushing up on some technical knowledge etc. so that I may better...

You'll note that the page you were reading those comments on is made possible by Java technology. I think the context of the comments made by Jobs needs to be understood more thoroughly before coming to any blanket conclusions. It sounds as if the intent is to keep the iPhone environment a...

Okay, I've been playing around with HDF5 a little bit. More specifically the HDF5 java products: http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf-java-html/ The Java GUI tool: http://www.hdfgroup.org/hdf-java-html/hdfview/index.html makes getting up to speed with HDF5 all the more easier. You can...

You can use "code" tags to have fixed width font and to preserve spacing etc. More info at bottom of page: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/misc.php?s=&action=bbcode e.g. Fixed width

I think I said: "Incoming market data + other data ----> Black Box[ Analyze the situation and come to any buy/sell decisions] -----> Submit order(s) to broker!" The premise is that the black box is driven by some kind of input, whether it is price, news, time of day,weather or the lunar...

Yes, all kinds of bots: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_bot Chat bots, Poker bots, Spam bots and of course Trading bots.

Well, expert systems are not neural nets. There's no reason why neural nets could not be leveraged at some stage in the decision-making pipeline but that is probably a separate matter. Techniques such as probablistic latent semantic analysis are in use in diverse areas. Companies with large...

You'll note, I didn't say I agreed with the consensus. Indeed, I explicitly state semantic news analysis is one of the goals of the system I am developing: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1280530#post1280530 Earlier ET thread on the topic of news algorithms...

Thanks for the input guys. I was hoping there would be a ready-made solution for this kind of thing. Looks like I'll have to do some more studying and research possible PCI boards etc. Incidentally, anyone had experience with Phidgets? http://www.phidgets.com/

I just reviewed my post and it seems I was a little ambiguous. Reuters' new products and the sentiment-based subscription service from a company not related to Reuters are two distinct things. I mentioned both to illustrate the point that this particular technology is now pretty much...

Many of the things you mention here ARE well trampled paths I'd suggest. I'd be hesitant to ever use the phrase: "why does nobody..." unless you know they don't. That's 6.5 billion+ people you know aren't doing something :D I'm not sure where you have been looking or what has coloured...

I'm drowning in feedback here! Am I the only one on ET with a need to attach a bellbox and strobe to my local trading servers? Probably. OK, next question, does anyone have any experience or knowledge on how to drive a standard 12v siren or burglar alarm from a PC? For example, how...

I would guess it's highly unlikely there is an existing solution. Though, if I may piggy-back on your thread, if anyone has developed a BNF for EasyLanguage, I'd be interested in seeing it! I'm sure there is one floating around as there are several other products that support EasyLanguage...
