it would all be a bit too easy then woudln't it

too much if you're just going to use it for news

wow, you're really good

there are a number of ways ... some better than others.I'm sure if you put your mind to it you can think of ways. And it all depends on how you use your terminal. I'm assuming you don't use it much for analysis but more for the streaming news (a shame seeing as the wealth of information bb...

it appears there are some ppl who are seriously trying to get around the bb contract resrictions! The data sent from the bb servers to the individual terminals is indeed encrypted. But you all seem to be looking at this the wrong way. If you really want say 5 ppl to look at or access bloomberg...

there are a number of ways to approach this problem, all of this problem. All of them require some technical know-how though which is prob beyond the scope of the majority here

that just provides you with some documentation and downloads for the api which will not get him what he wants

you believe you can get the news from reuters via their api. But yes, for bb you cannot get streaming news via the api but you can get them into a custom app. There are a number of crude methods but they all work. It all depends on what you want

interesting. However, you will have more luck making a profitable system if you have make it more reactive to real time news instead of predicting potential moves off online news articles that will most likely be biased one way or another. One thing I will say is that you have access to a...

Of course a certain amount of discretion goes into the input parameters but I thought that was implicit. If the parameters were set up to effect an opposite logic thne the ratio would almost be reversed. The systme is mechanical only in the resepct that the transactions are all handled by...

*yawn*

great comment from someone who thinks a profit of a few k is smthing to be get nervous about

What woudl you say if if I told you i developed a set of algorithms that take in news to trade which has a win loss ratio of > 11:1 over the last 24 months. Would you say that's unlikely?

fxdd and ibfx you the same platform metatrader. Ibfx are better than fxdd when theere's a lot of vol but you're still gonna be advised not to trade during these times . The spreads will indeed widen and you will get requoted

you think anyone will fall for that?

I also have just used the demo, and do not care for the front end. However I'm more interested in the fact that their api is better than most, especially ib's poor socket api offering. However, as I trade mainly forex, and there are some major issues with their forex offering I have not opened a...

If all you want to do is hack together something this one time , delphi will prob be your best best. IT's easy to learn and you don't have to worry about garbage collection and a whole slew of other things that you would do in c++. However, delphi is pretty much a dead language. Why haave you...

unfortunately they don't offer free api. I can understand the need to at least restrict api access to only those who understand what they're doing, but to charge for a service that can only increase trading activity is bad business

evidently he's not the only one spending too much time on this subject

nor does he boast about actually dollar amounts. If you're doing well .. no need to broadcast it. Otherwise I could say that I can guarantee I've made more than you in the last 12 months on a %return basis as well as dollar value basis. I wouldn't .. but I could
