    Native vs. .NET

    Thanks. I think I heard of that one on an episode of .NET Rocks. Do you have any experience with this linker/compiler? There isn't much of any real information on their site, but I'd be interested to see some hard data, as far as executable size, runtime performance, etc.

    Native vs. .NET

    While ngen can create native images, you still need the CLR to run the executable and you lose the option of the CLR dynamically optimizing your assemblies based on the native environment. The only advantage real advantage is start up time. There are tests comparing C# with native performance...

    how come the europeans never invent anything?

    LOL. Are you serious? Europeans are extremely innovative, but they lack at marketing and pushing products down people's throats; the US is still #1 at that, but we'll see for how long. Also, nice sample you got there.

    Real prop firms?

    I was talking about firms like Jane Street. Probably not in the same league as what you're referring to.

    Real prop firms?

    There's a couple of good ones on that list, but they aren't going to take just any yahoo unless you got the academic prerequisites or proven experience.

    Technical Analysis API

    ta-lib http://ta-lib.org/ I believe Amibroker has a C++ SDK, so you can easily use ta-lib.

    If a hurricane hits New York?

    There's plenty of swimmers and boogie boarders wanting to experience the "large" waves. There's also a plethora of tourists renting surfboards and wanting to get in on some of the fun. Generally, it's these people that end up drowning. I'm from the Carolinas, and we've got plenty of these...

    If a hurricane hits New York?

    That is sweet man. I was out surfing today, Bill was creating some really nice swells. That being said, it's all fun until your roof gets blown off.

    Bucket Shop Arbitrage

    I played the latency game a few years ago, as did plenty of others on oanda and a few other bucket shops. They've started monitoring this type of activity with much more scrutiny and will bust your trades and close out your account.

    Recommend this book to all programmers

    That book is okay, yet another FP intro. I've also personally found Clojure and Scala to be more practical if you're wanting to dive into that realm, but you're bound to Java, unless you go with the CLR ports. I believe the guy behind Clojure is bootstrapping a large effort to rewrite most of...

    Automated Trading Needs

    Make sure that you understand the drawbacks of operating in the cloud, specifically latency issues. You're also giving up a lot of control, especially at the hardware level. After a lot of experimentation, I've settled on renting a few boxes at two datacenter locations, so I have local...

    Revolution coming with next meltdown

    I'm not confused. I'm a fiscal conservative with "liberal" social values. I have no party representation in this country and as you said, both sides are full of yahoos. The underlying problem is lobbying and a dual party unaccountable system.

    Revolution coming with next meltdown

    Interesting, but I wonder if he's raging because he never got to cover his short positions and needs another move down.

    Little help with finding a software graphing package

    I know you can do these fairly easy in Mathematica and I've also seen some code for it in Matlab. Here's an example for Mathematica that should work: nx = 2 ny = 2 Plot3D[ Sin[nx Pi x]Sin[ny Pi y], {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, ImageSize -> '''250''', BoxRatios -> {2, 2, 2}...
