The concept is the same be it excel or matlab. You're simply applying your strategy to historical data. You're strategy is usually expressed using logic functions. Forget VBA or Matlab for a minute and just try to replicate in a basic spreadsheet what you'd do with a pen/paper if you were...

Does anyone have any insight into this firm or their research? http://www.aspentrading.com/ Mainly I'm curious about two things: 1. Is their research reasonable and helpful or is it mostly a useless service? 2. Do they actually trade their own information or are they simply an advisory...

...there is a Columbia College, it's a school within CU. Hydroblunt hit the nail on the head, there are no 'business' classes really, they take econ courses and would call themselves econ majors. He'd also have a clue about the industry if he were taking similar classes as on campus recruiting...

Different tools, same game imo.

This is pretty generic - a few thoughts come to mind: 1) What's the purpose of doing this and in what region/jurisdiction 2) This can be a risky proposition and may not be worth the tradeoff depending on who you purchase from - point being there may be better ways to collateralize/get credit...

Just wanted to say ogarbitrage is good to deal with, responsive, and helpful. I went through the process of deciding what data was/was not useful for me with his help. The data was as promised and included what I asked for - unfortunately for me I've had to put my project on hold, but was...

My response was tongue in cheek - I was referring to JPM/GS as financial retailers.:p
