Has anyone here experimented with downloading 15 minute delayed from a datasource and programmed a scanning system using C++ or VB thereby bypassing the need to buy the canned systems like optionvue or microhedge? I am familiar with Access and VB and was thinking of downloading option data...

I am interested in seeing that article if you would be so kind. Is that you Beck? Gabriel

Thanks AAA. Do you prefer trading the futures as opposed to individual stocks? What are the advantages? I've always wondered given the leverage offered by futures and the ease of shorting why there aren't more traders gravitating towards these intruments. They seem to offer more...

I have recently experimented with buying calendar spreads and have a question regarding proper selection. According to McMillan's book calendar spreads are best bought when IV's are low so you benefit from an IV expansion since you are long the back month. I've put Jan/Feb calendars about a week...

I think you might need to buy a router which can link the two together. I bought a router for $100 called linksys which enabled me to share my cablemodem. If I wanted to I could share drives as well as printers. If you need computer 1 to see files in computer2 you will have to do additional...

Hi Gene. I paid www.savvysoft.com a visit and saw a huge amount of stuff that were not bantered about in my days as a floor trader. I know the typipcal gamma,delta,vega BUT terms such as plain vanilla, accrual swaps, asians/averages, barriers/knockins/knockouts, baskets, rainbow better...

Most packages cost between $300-$1500 . Essexpro comes to mind as well as optionstar which is Excel on steroids. I found out yesterday this new site called optionclub.com. They have a web based analytical software and SCANNING functions which is hard to come by w/o paying up the yingyang. Be...

Marc mentioned a trading style on page 1 wherein iv between index and components are arb to caputre the spread. Can Marc or anyone else be kind enough to offer more insights to this strategy and maybe some links or books about the subject. Let me see if I get the essence of this strategy by...

I use it inconnection with esignal so I don't seem to have a lot of data problem issues. I think it has a portfolio function, but I don't use it since my REDI machine has my realtime PnL

I like linnsoft. The others scan using the internet which is a little slower. Linnsoft captures tick data and writes it to memory or hard disk so scans are about 2-5 seconds faster IMHO.
