I understand the difference...but, the underlying principles are the same - at least in terms of order and entropy. One was the primordial soup theory...where order comes from chaos...over time...and with "some" energy...and by chance...out pops DNA and a one cell creature. Evolution is...

I do not need to argue abiogenesis or evolution. My stance is that man cannot create DNA. It is that simple. Science is the reproducible...and yet humans with present knowledge and technology cannot create DNA. The atheist or agnostic evolution believer believes that species evolve...over...

Evolution fails when compared to Intelligent Design....I will go a step further and say, "Yes, there is a God!" Here is the logic... "Rule #1: The evolutionist says to him/herself: I am mentally able to discern whether there is a god or not and I am able to determine how I arrived here in...

The "Flash Crash" was the busiest I have seen...I don't remember the exact day (like May 6 for the flash crash), but the day that the TARP was rejected ( DJI down like 700) was a fairly busy day as well. -gastropod

You speak wisely! -gastropod

If you REALLY need ticks...then you should understand some rules of the game... Like Random.Capital stated earlier...if you REALLY need tick data...then you should be in the colo of the exchange for whatever you are trading. Here are some hints for you guys (I was a feed sys admin for over...

Hello Vince - you are welcome! One thing you may be able to do...if you haven't already...check with some data providers for "canned data" - old data that they have...that you could send them a hard drive and they could fill up with old data...preferably for a "busy" day. Make sure the data...

1.) Try to colo with your "main" market - if you are trading mostly NASDAQ stocks...be in NASDAQ's colo. ...if you are trading mostly NYSE stocks...be in one of NYSE's colos. This will give you the smallest latency - your strategies will be as close to the way you designed them as possible...

Would you like some "extra" hints? I have been "out of the game" since being laid off...but, the financial services world still has the "coolest" tech field out there. I designed a system set up for feeds.....I could show you a quick hint that would probably VERY much help you out. Ciao...

The problems with multiple data sources...the symbols can be different. You want consistent symbols - either S&P style or not. When you have multiple data sources...your symbols can get hosed. The other thing about multiple data providers - missed events. If your quote server HAS a quote or...

Sorry - I edited my post above - please see some of the changes. My statement about people who use different providers is something like "going native for" for quotes - you get your NASDAQ data for NASDAQ stocks from NASDAQ...but, then trying to use something like Reuters data for placing the...

:D Take in all of the quotes and trades...filter as needed, provide a separate "feed" for each service you need by filtering out what each service does not need. It seems you have done this :D I have seen other "systems" where quotes come from one data provider...but "they" try to trade off...

Control the apple orchards of Washington state...and you control the country! The people of America would have been bowing at their feet..., "Oh, please, please....give us back our Galas and our Pink Ladies...you can keep the Fujis and the Granny Greens!!!.....Please....spare us the Galas!"...

Forewarning: I am no rocket scientist here...but, having one process that manages your strategies using "Feed Data Set A" and having your order execution use "Feed Data Set B" can lead to REALLY BAD things. I was a feed systems admin for over 10 years....our OE used the same data as the quote...

What hypocrites the liberals have turned into! Ricter, go get a cup of coffee, smell some amonia....wake out of the stupor! Odumbo is a human. Like other humans, he has weaknesses, strengths, likes, dislikes, etc.! When it was Bush in office...the liberals RANTED that Bush was not above the...

It does not matter that you are obviously Odumbo freaks. The truth stands...those who ACTUALLY HAVE PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE do NOT like Odumbo's actions. Some kiss ass general can say whatever he would like, but THE TROOPS are saying that Odumbo is putting their lives at risk. Is that too...

OK, I have a question for ya'll.... How many of you know somebody, who 20 years ago, was working at a very low level in a company...and now co-owns their own impressive company? The lady who claims "she was just an assistant" - who put the Kenya info into the BIO for Obama...now is...

I thought you all might like to see this from the some recent data rates lately....super high. Does this mean that your prices won't vary much...will vary too much...your thoughts... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/new-level-stock-market-quote-insanity What do you think your chances of...

I kind of agree with giving "some" of the land back to the Indians...we can start with that shit hole on the East Side...where the UN sits....give that land back to the Indians and send the assholes in the UN packing to Europe or wherever they are wanted! -g

What a moron...typical Obama supporter...you apparently can't read. The term "natural born citizen" is used in the decision...either following the link I gave was to complicated for you or you just plain hate truth.
