It has been quite a while since our system went live on Arca, so I hope this still works ... Edit: Sorry, I don't know if I am allowed to post this Sample data site. I will PM nitro directly. It contains a capture of ARCA multicast book data. Which I believe is what you are looking for...

Wow, Small World. Just flipping through the openfabrics 2009 workshop attendees, and stumble on two very familiar names. david cohen (now with GS), and scott ross (ubs). dave and i used to be counter parts (we were both head of tech arch and strategy, for two separate divisions at same...

IMHO, you are right, the reason that *anyone* (traders, technologists, operations person, etc) would work in finance is to make money. It is not to work out some scientific discovery, benefit mankind, or anything like that. And, we all know that, the price of a good is *precisely* what the...

Ok, I will be controversial here. I don't think financial programmers are overpaid, and I was head of technology for a med-sized broker dealer. The reality is, as much as financial programmers like to think they do all the "cutting edge programming" and get paid relatively little compared...

From CME: http://www.cmegroup.com/tools-information/lookups/advisories/electronic-trading/20090525.html Look under the section for market depth.

First of all, to the original poster, yes, like every1 is saying, if you open an account in your name, your SS#, they will find out. Two, it is amazing how little ppl have gone to jail for. I know this secretary, her and her bf, traded on som proprietary banking information that she was...

I believe a technology person should pick the "right tool for the right job". when I was starting this trading firm, I was just poor, can't afford even to spend 20k on software, after writing some astronomical checks to buy Exchange Memberships. So yes, it is strangely satisfying to see...

I guess I will throw my $0.02 in. If the question is general "off the shelf middleware" vs "rolling your own specializing messaging", then I think the answer would be "it depends" on your perspective. In one of my previous incarnations, as divisional CTO at an ibank, I would probably kill...

As versus his own grandson? http://cityfile.com/dailyfile/6075 https://www.newyorkpost.com/seven/06032009/news/regionalnews/tvs_real_snotty_hotties_172311.htm PC is Peter Carey Peterson, grandson. Same thing goes for Tim Geithner's $1.63M house...

For some1 that founded a private equity firm, that took over businesses, fire off 1/2 of the employees, and loaded the business up with debt, then use the firm's cash flow to pay off the said debt over a decade or two, and therefore become a billionaire in the process. And he is calling other...

I had no life, and I mean, zero life, while I was working at a broker / dealer (head of electronic trading of all things), and developing my own system "on the side". It was pure ego, really. I wrote a business proposal for the firm, to expand into automated trading (01-02), and the firm...

I will go on this assumption, assuming I work in the financial products division of AIG. I will tell Liddy and the government to go F themselves. I will be paid what my contract stipulates. I look at it this way, it all depends on if I want to continue to work at AIG or not. But with AIG...

From the data collected form the articles, it really didn't seem like AIG's pay structure is that different from other wall street firms. Usually in a wall street firm, you get anywhere from 60-80% of your total income "package" in bonuses. In an average year, it is not unusual for even an...

I think the problem with CNBC is not that they lack in-depth analysis, is that they failed in the supposed role of a "serious investment advice" medium. Let me make a weird comparison. Let's say the Political media is exactly like the Financial media. So when Obama announced "tax...

Having spent the past 12+ yrs of my life on wall street (modeling, analysis and trading). I think you missed the point of Jon Stewart's argument. Let me get a transcript now. Stewart said, "The financial news industry is not just guilty of a sin of omission but a sin of commission."...

Yeah, it is interesting the contrast between Jon and Larry. Larry is a pretty unassuming, often quiet kinda of guy. And he intensely dislikes to be mentioned as "Jon Stewart's older brother".

The average salary for a Univ of Chicago Graduate School of Business MBA: http://www.economist.com/business/businesseducation/displayStory.cfm?story_id=13271726&source=hptextfeature Since the average is around $500k after 10 years (for a male MBA), it is not hard to imagine the top 20%...

There is tax evasion (illegal) and tax avoidance (legal, but disliked by IRS), these two are completely different things. I will attempt to talk only about tax avoidance here, not outright tax evasion. First of all, any foreign entity (let's say for a moment that it is strictly owned by non...

I guess this is an argument between me and him. not between me (hiding under an internet alias) and ppl that act as his "defenders".

If this is not a huge buy signal, I don't know what is, heh.
