I'm not sure I understand where your issue is. Is it that you don't know how the authentication is performed or you don't know how to write the network code to actually do the authentication? If it's the former, is it because you don't know how to get the plaintext of the encrypted connection...

I'm not familiar with this "spreadhacker", but in general one thing you have to look at when talking about high probability trades is the max loss. Options are very asymmetrical with respect to max profit/loss. Very different from stocks. To more clearly illustrate. What if you have a 90%...

The tickdata works for me. I had sent you a msg on discord 1-2 weeks ago, so I'm glad to see an update. Is the github up to date? It seems to be missing some files, but I was able to make a few modifications to compile my own tickGenerator. Btw you've committed a number of binary files that...

A way of avoiding those feeds and using Lightspeed is to use a 3rd party data feed. Of course you can use a 3rd party data feed with IB as well. You'd also avoid those pacing violations and have access to more real time symbols than you're getting via IB. Just throwing that out there as an...

Because gambling is illegal here. ;)

Proprietary.

I've not tried IPv6 with TWS, but I wonder if internally there's a matching issue with the :0:0:0: portion of the address. What I mean is, IPv6 allows skipping the 0s and rewriting that portion as :::. When you entered the trusted address, did you use the 0s or skip them? I'd try it both ways...

I'm not an expert in networking hardware, so I'm not an ideal source. The stuff I had a problem with was what I had at home. I know one of the brands were Rosewill, so I'd not recommend them. What I currently use are Mikrotik routers and switches. A friend of mine used to work at an ISP that...

While i960 is absolutely right if you have an IPv6 interface, there is another potential oddity I've experienced that you may run in to in testing when transmitting across your LAN (obviously wouldn't apply to a virtual network within a single physical machine) -- I've actually had some...

You could trade stocks with leverage (2:1 overnight or 4:1 during the day or even higher if you have portfolio margin account). There's also SSF (Single Stock Futures). While options have some similarities to a leveraged trade, they are more complex than simply a leverage tool. Their values...

You don't know who is quoting at the ask or what their motivation is. What you can do is simply look at the ask size. You should be able to get a fill at that price of at least to the ask size.

1) While I'm by no means an expert in retail or logistics, to compare eBay to Amazon on retail is silly. eBay may have a popular market place, but Amazon has so much invested in determining user behavior, predicting what they want to buy, automatically moving products between warehouses based on...

You are taxed on realized gains whether they're withdrawn from your account or not.

Well, I sort of disagree with you. I could provide an arbitrage solution that is sub microsecond measured from last bit of the frame that contains the quote message to first bit of the frame that contains the order, but this would be a hardware based solution. In general, I agree with you...

Not sure why you assumed that I ever bothered to run a arbitrage based system in a live environment -- and if I did, it wouldn't be on Windows, in fact it wouldn't be running in software at all. Likewise you shouldn't assume running on a Linux VPS is low latency. I'll repeat what I said before...

What type of arbitrage are you claiming is possible (triangular?) and what level of latency from arbitrage existing until arbitrage has been executed? Are you using a single broker or arbitraging between brokers? I don't think anyone would claim arbitrage opportunities don't exist. It's more a...

I remember you mentioning your exchange months ago and you had my interest. Whether you need beta testers or want someone to try to find exploitable issues, I'll be interested in assisting. Whether I'll have the availability at that time I can't say for sure. Anyway send me a PM when the time...

It absolutely won't improve and because you can't use native floating point calculations or you end up with rounding errors, which would be detrimental in anything finance, you have to use a software based library to eliminate rounding errors. This is substantially less performance, but that's...

If you're actually trading a real underlying asset, eventually you have to clear the trade. Who keeps the rounding when that happens since that's going to need to eventually be translated to some currency. Are you going to use bitcoin as the currency held? If you round out to any currency, it...

I think you misunderstood my post. I was rephrasing (in a tongue in cheek kind of way) what the the thread starter said in his first post. In his first post he said he wasn't looking to get rich quick and simultaneously asked for a high probability way to make $200/day on a $25k account. So OP...
