    any recommendation for free real-time charting software that work with IB???

    I think the problem is the trading seession lasts over more thna one day. I guess they have lots of hardcoded assumptions that a day sessions spreads over the course fo one day only. The "pit" trading session is displayed fine.

    Non US LLC (such as incorporated in Singapore) trading in US??

    The treaty means if you have paid specific kind of tax in Singapore as a person (say, personal income or capital gains tax), the amount paid will be subtracted from the matching US tax you owe...

    Rating agencies, where did they get their power from?

    The above quotes explain why credit ratings are so powerful. However, rating agencies do not have a "power" to rate any company (or country). If a company (or country) wants to get rated, they ask a rating agency for a rating and pay a fee. If they want for a rating agency to keep the rating...

    Rating agencies, where did they get their power from?

    You are forgetting about Moodys. From wikipedia article: "Regulators use credit ratings as well, or permit ratings to be used for regulatory purposes. For example, under the Basel II agreement of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, banking regulators can allow banks to use credit...

    Monitor Resolution

    I think the best cost per pixel is in 1920x1080 monitors right now. You can get a card that runs 3 monitors at this resolution for about $50.

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    As support for QT declines and more competition crowd the space, it's getting more and more difficult for a "white knight" to make an offer to TDA they can't refuse :) but the time will tell. Also it's not uncommon to buy a competing firm with the purpose of "clearing the space".

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    The problem is TD Ameritrade own copyright on QuoteTracker... and the latest indication is they are not planning to sell it or give it away. So, it's not a question of an independent developer dedicating a little time to it.

    Beginner C++ question

    Hassle is a very precise word. If you need MFC with VC++ Express you can get Windows SDK from Microsoft for free. (There will be no graphic tools to design GUI with MFC... but you will be able to compile MFC code.) Windows API libraries (excluding MFC and ATL) come with Visual C++ 2008 and 2010...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    I understant it will keep working for people who purchased a license. It will likely stop working for people who intend to use it for free (assuming it hasn't stopped working yet).

    Beginner C++ question

    Strongly disagree. You can always evolve from an Express edition. All code and projects created in Express editions are completely reusable in matching "paid-for" editions without limitation. The only reasons not to use Express editions are: 1) if you already own a license for a paid-for...

    Director Of IMF Arrested For Alleged Sexual Assault

    Because of the prestige, power (and connections) it gives. All of these can be monetised later when high-profile jobs run out. For example, Tony Blair earned in the range of £150k per year as British Prime Minister. Now he charges up to £250k for a 90-minute speech and is believed to have...

    Beginner C++ question

    The actual API is a part of Windows. So, it comes with Windows license. However, the headers that describe the API (including definitions of specialised data types etc) are subject to copyright on their own. So, TwsSocketclient.lib communicates with Widnows directly where it needs it and...

    Robotrading: CT + Trending Strategy on folios of futures

    Hi Tom, I figured out that much from Gbot Web-page http://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/default.htm My question was regarding the source code. Thanks for unswering it at length! The basic philosophy behind giving software away for free is simple. Compared to tangible goods, the cost of...

    Beginner C++ question

    It means that it requires Microsoft Windows API (such as file Windows.h) and possibly a few Microsoft laguage extensions for C++. Note that most commercial C++ compilers include the original Microsoft headers. (Borland C++ includes MFC too.) Free compilers like gcc via MinGW may include...

    Who should be the next IMF chief? French, Turkish,Indian,Singaporean?

    Although selection is supposed to go in a "merit-based" manner, the new head, like the board members, will still be a representative of a nation. The current UK government is expected to strongly oppose Gordon Brown. So, his candidacy is pretty much out of the question.
