Read news headline (HK Dow Jones newswire) lots of policy holders are cancelling their insurance anyway. The problem is that now that AIG is being forced to spin off units to raise cash, those independent units may end up with different credit ratings than the parent company. And once sold...

Haven't installed yet, just browsed code :) also, IB isn't my broker but I could always open an account if this software works out... was just looking for solid backtesting and possible future autotrading at the present thanks for the help offer, I'll take you up if I run into any trouble

Thanks for the info. Gave the code a very cursory review right now and it looks good. Most open-source financial software I've looked at is done kinda amateurishly. So kudos to you (I assume you're Josh / the developer?) I'll check out the svn this weekend and really try it out (if I have...

I was going to ask if you tried the VS.NET / NT route yet, but looks like you're aware. It would be nice if they really supported this setup. As it is, it looks like you have to cobble together how to set the environment up with multiple forum posts (no official debugging support). The...

I checked another trading application that phones home (not NinjaTrader) to see how it behaved if the master server went down / became unreachable for an extended period of time. The app would not start up without the phone home and would fail after something like a week of not being able to...

Could you maybe provide an example of a bank selling protection down the line? Would it just be calling up AIG and asking for some insurance? Really, I don't think we're going to come across this sort of info elsewhere... Thanks again for your insight. The media (who unsurprisingly seem to...

YAWN!?!? did anyone else try to get shares of a hard-to-borrow security this morning? broker said there will not be shorting of such stocks in the forseeable future this is going to completely screw over the retail investor in a down market...

wish there was a red cheek face smiley here :p (that's what I get for watching cnbc) Shit I've got almost more than $500! :D $500MM? a lil outta my ballpark ;) Seriously, thanks for chiming in, it's nice to hear from someone who actually works with this stuff. Out of curiosity, what...

Yeah, I was thinkin an uptick rule on all trades would solve all our problems right-quick. :eek: liquidation? why would anyone liquidate in a market like this? gotta be naked shorts... :p

I've been anticipating (and then watching) this CDS bull happen, and have really, really been wishing I could participate. Any idea how much $$ you need before you can talk CDSs with a prime broker (or whoever else deals in these)?

Knee-jerk regulations are worse than bailouts because they can stick around long after a bailout is over. When FNM and FRE were on the no-naked list, IB was charging an extra fee to short them (according to others) and my broker put them on the hard-to-borrow list even when they weren't hard to...

Was looking for details on the warrants for the last hour only to find... there are none. Anyone else think AIG and the Fed couldn't agree upon what "80%" should be, so they decided to let the market react to the news to determine the fair value and will fill in the blanks later...

So has anyone seen any other futures brokers besides IB with ACH transfer option available? Wire transfers get too expensive when shuffling funds between accounts...
