    Open Source Order Execution Software

    It's been a few years since I've looked into the ET API and it looks like it has not improved at all. Their design is strictly retail, has inherent delays (REST) and autowealth's description of their login procedure looks like a nightmare. And it's still beta?? Wow.

The downside of open source software is you'll need to spend quite a bit of time tweaking/improving/fixing the code, and that takes time away from strategy design & research. Coding requires a very different mindset than trading and it's very hard to do both. I'm sure...

    Trade bust on futures

    I'm curious to know too. They are very rare so I guess you were 'lucky' in a sense to even see one :) I've seen about 10 busts per million fills so far.

    Broker Choice and API question

    The IB FIX API has a monthly volume requirement and a $10,000 security deposit. It also doesn't support position and account stats reporting although it does now support order status reporting (it didn't use to work but now it does). Since you'll probably have to use the IB API for...
