    Data Mining for Trading Short-term Price Patterns

    yup. you need to have some pretty strong infraestructure just to run the ML systems... and you also need to have a good set of tools to analyze the results, and use that analysis to ask the right questions to the AI... i've been working for the last year full time at setting up such a set...

    Full setup automated trading system

    Rest can't do low latency, but neither can Python... For low latency, he would need to look at a faster, compiled language like java, C/C++, Fortran... a FIX port with Python inside, would be a pretty slow FIX port... if C++ is an option, then Rithmic's C++ API would be a good idea...

    Are there any benefits to partitioning a hard disk drive?

    I usually go with OpenSource, but that also includes my OS (Fedora <3) so I'm not familiar with Windows tools. Found a good article on partition magic and it's alternatives though. :) en.kioskea.net/faq/1391-free-alternative-to-partition-magic

    My idea on automated, algorithmic trading --- Is this feasible or am I missing someth

    real market data doesn't fit nicely into a straight line, it breaks the line and gets back on top, and then looks choppy for a while before picking up the trend again... the signal is buried in a lot of noise... and you have to sort through that noise... you need to clearly identify the signal...

    R programming for following / Estimate labour please

    Are you sure the increase is lineal? (double the data=double the time) and not more? (an easier test is to reduce the sample to say, 100 stocks and see if the decrease is lineal or faster) ... ML stands for machine learning...

    Nice trade. Few questions: How come you use only ARB instead of the full book... And why ARB instead of EDGX of Philly where it prints a lot of the volume? Any reason for not using icebergs or dark orders?

    Examples of statistical edges in sports betting?

    Your on the right idea. Back in 2004 I worked booking horse races, and we had a handful of wiseguys who would use stats software to find horses that were paying too much, these were players who had tight bet limits around the books because everyone in the business knew they were they kind of...
