If FTT would be labelled as European idea (especially French) then it becomes more difficult to convince Americans to follow Europe on FTT.

Just vote Democrats out of the White House and Congress. They will ruin US economy.

If you want to learn to program than you need relativly simple and versatile programming language. Currently MS C# is getting more popular and if you learn it than C++ and Java are are very similar. C# has good literature and help and it is free (express edition). If you want to do simple...

It is a numbers game and there is more of them. I hope it will take them much longer to destroy US economy and financial markets.

Thank you for sharing. There is not much quality reviews on AT and I am considering using it. Active tick goes back 3 years for historical data, IB 6 months to 1 year depending on bar period. What IQ offers in terms of historical data? By the way there is no feed that would be 100% perfect...

EU is a bureaucratic mess and this guys speak their own dialect. In the US we have a chance to fight FTT now by supporting GOP platform which is against FTT and all other global/UN//EU tax ideas.

GOP platform opposes FTT and other global UN taxes. You guys better vote this time and make no mistake like four years ago. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/22/gop-platform-opposes-un-tax-plans-levies-infringe-/

Interesting article. Thank you. Sometimes I see those fractional prices on my fills but I do not even pay attention to it. I was talking really better fills in the order of whole cents or even more. This "improvement" might be more related to quotation systems because we are seconds behind the...

Agree that there are problems with the markets. Some of the issues are insignificant for retail because I get better fills than expected as well. So it goes both ways. I do not worry that somebody makes few cents on my order. I have easy access, low commission orders get filled and I can set my...

There is lack of understanding of basic concepts. You trade on exchange. There has to be other party that wants to trade with you. Participation in the markets is voluntary and nobody has any obligation to buy or sell. Traders set the price at which they want to trade. This is not Wal-Mart...

I found interesting comment and took the liberty to copy and paste it here because it is very informative. link: http://www.businessmanagementdaily.com/31964/occupy-and-tax-wall-street Copy of the comment from this site: Why do governments always punish investors and incentivize...

I do the same. Own dedicated binary file data structure is faster because of simplicity.

I am the 99% and can afford computer, data feed and trading cost is very low compared to old good days. Simply put barrier of entry is low and that what scares some on Wall St. They want to use HFT scare as a Trojan horse to limit access for independents. And you guys are falling for it. I am...

The laws prohibiting market manipulation like this are on the books. Just enforce them.

You forgot to add the end: And then we wait for 1987 style crash. Nobody pick up the phones stock drops 20% in a single day. People get to your senses. There was no manipulation then? How about going back to 1929. There were no computers then. I guess you could still ride a horse on...

Unfortunarely you cannot reson with them using common sense because they are agenda driven and will change around the facts and spin them in such a way that everybody is confused at best. I think this is the link http://www.euractiv.com/consumers/danes-buy-danish-beer-germany-news-514372

Hardware setup is quite simple because GPU is a separate (super)computing device and any plain vanilla but current board and CPU with PCIE will do if most of the work will be offloaded to GPU. Cooling and power consumption is an issue because higher end cards run hot. Power supply needs to...

GPU is a separate device from CPU and GPU cores are different from CPU cores. To acces GPU you need a card and programming environment compatible with NVIDIA CUDA, OpenCL, or DirectCompute that is downloaded and installed separately (cannot address VmWare question but probably not). Programs are...

Socialism is ideology (form of religion) and you guys try to use logic and hard data to convince raging socialists that they are wrong. They know that and the worse the economy gets the better for them. That is their motto. Then they have more and more people dependent on government and they are...

You already implemented it so this might also be an issue. By the way how do you connect to IB with c#? Is this activex?
