Very very good questions...

Many thanks!

Thanks WinstonTJ, as always. Wow! that's fast. What are you using for parsing/reading? 25Mb in 500ms??!! My simple csv file is under 100KB at most and I can make it even half the size i.e. 50KB if I want. Does your 500Ms time estimate include converting the csv values to the right...

There are so many csv parsers/readers o the web it is hard to know a reliable one. 1. Can someone recommend a high performance, fast csv file reader/parser. 2. How much time is required for a computer to read a csv file containing say (1000 - 2000) records, convert the strings to...

Interetsing point. Could we get some definitive clarification from an enlightened forum member?

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Are SPX options, 1256 contracts with 60/40 tax treatment?

To be clear...I am not siding with the banks...I am just pointing out that delinquent homeowners should not use technicalities to avoid foreclosure. Yes, a 3rd party would be good and who would that 3rd party be, the AGs and the Feds, and you know whose side they are on.... So in sum, the...

I agree. The banks whom I am no fan of, apparently have committed fraud here...actually the real fraud was in the setting up of the various invetsment vehicles based upon fraudulent mortgages. That notwithstandng, why should someone who knowingly bought a house he/she can't afford now...

Seems like it will cost about $15,500 to $19,000 a month for a 52U cabinet. There is also a non-refundable $10,000 deposit per cabinet. Minimum space size is 1 cabinet. Certainly above my budget. Perhaps we could form a group and lease a cabinet? Does anyone know of any provider who...

Have you actually used any of the APIs for automated trading? Thanks.

Hello, I just saw this. Is this available to individual trading groups or firms or just to FCMS? Any idea on costs/fees? Wouldn't this mean a sharp decline in business for the data centers at 350 Cermark including Equinix, since the CME is now moving its matching engines to a new...

Very smart approach. Thanks for sharing. I have to say if they get concerned about a 7% drawdown for a CTA strategy, then they shouldn't be invested with you or any CTA! But this raises another question...why do many investors - individuals and institutions alike, tolerate 50% drawdowns...

heech, How was the experience of returning money to family and turning down your inlaws? I am curious, because I do not know how I would tactfully handle such a situation. Were they offended, any resentment? Family relationships are so so tricky....

lindq and heech, I had a similar experience with my father. Never again to accept money from family members. I do not even think I want to accept money from "friends". It is just too complicated and like heech said..."they never quite get it". I think in the same way a trader (or his/her...

The old "BusinessWeek" published by McGraw Hill was excellent and my favorite business mag in the 90s, early part of this decade. But about 5-7 years ago, it seriously declined in quality. I have noticed that since Bloomberg acquired it recently and renamed it "Bloomberg BusinessWeek" - the...

How do I implement this to connect to the CME time servers on my Windows 7 on Windows 2008 Server machine? Could you please proivde a summary step-by-step routine. Thank you.

I like this transaction tax: APT...if and only if...there is an exemption for financial trades or if the APT is applied only to commissions and fees related to financial trades and NOT the notional value of the financial trade. http://www.apttax.com/
