What is the STIOrderUpdate struct for exactly? Just a periodic update on what's going on with a live order? Will I receive this for orders that have been rejected?

The government's track record on efficiently implementing what are good intentions is so horrible that we should never trust these people to do anything, let alone educate young people. They need to do away with public education in this country, and either come up with some voucher scheme or...

The voters keep passing the bond measure bills. That's the problem. Los Angeles is a good example of how not to do things, or an example of how to become a 3rd world basket-case quickly.

Why do you guys prohibit DLL libraries?

Most people aren't all that entrepreneurial, so I think your paranoia is only partially justified. 95% of people I know really just want a paycheck and time for them to spend with their families. I think $85/hr is a fair place to start for a competent programmer with a good track record, for...

Standard industry practice is the non-compete agreement. They're enforceable, except in places like California. Most firms pay for non-competition, though. Some don't, but the ones that don't typically have shorter agreements. There are some real dick-head companies that don't pay for up...

lol! :D If that's my only option, that's my only option. :-) What can I say, I have worse than third world quality internet and I want to have a journal on ET like "taking $12 to 8billion by year end." A man can dream, can't he?

The simplified answer: Let's say my strategy has some sort of stop-loss, risk-management functions in it that I am reasonable confident can work. If I run the application on a server that has fairly good connectivity and my 4G wireless drops, at least I can be reasonably confident that I...

How do you know if a VPS provider is overselling? Just based on reputation or metrics that you've got placed in your code?

1) What sort of applications have you been able to run, and is their build/configuration clean and minimal? 2) How do they manage security? Do they automatically patch and reboot your servers, or can you control that? Windows is not usually my primary system, so I am left wondering whether...

I live in a place where I can't trade from home because the only service provider I have is a wireless 4G provider. I can't trade with this connection because it is too spotty. I would like recommendations for a dedicated server (or possibly higher-end VPS) server somewhere in NY or NJ that I...

Totally offtopic, but do you guys have a solution in Ubuntu to automatically close those annoying "Too late to cancel - order already filled" type dialogs? I can't autotrade and get real work done with this dialog popping up.

To his credit, his source code does have examples of some things I'm trying to do.

I'm hoping to spark a discussion on this topic. I've used multicharts, IB TWS, anvil, sterling, LASER, Tradestation, tradelink, ninjatrader (on IB), and to a lesser extent thinkorswim. For the record, I thought Anvil was by far the most superior user interface to all the other trading...

Mods, can we ban .pdf attachments for security reasons?

What I find inelegant about this is that now I have to maintain a separate .NET header to support that [Serializable] attribute. I guess what I can do is generate two separate headers in my makefile, like: struct Parameters {...} in Parameters_Unmanaged.h and then [Serializable] public...

I'm ok with recompiling. I'm just not ok with having to adjust the GUI constantly to reflect changes, if I add/remove a parameter from some kind of 'struct'.

Your idea is good, except what happens if my trading app runs in Linux? I'm ok with a Windows GUI viewer. Here's something closer to my environment: Say I put my trading parameter defines in a header, in an "unmanaged" struct or class. The C++/CLI compiler and my gcc compiler on Linux both...

I have a trading framework that is all console based, written in C++, has no GUI, and is a totally user unfriendly piece of code. It is so unfriendly it gets chosen out of police line-ups even when it didn't commit the crime. Every time I change (add/remove) a trading parameter, I recompile...

I built my own custom tools for this, but generally speaking if you get a passive fill on IB the market is probably about to move through you. So your question is model dependent, and if you're ok with getting cut through or not. If your time horizon is longer and you don't care because you...
