Sure. The 1st line of defense is my trading system paging me itself.. it runs on a co-located server so is basically gauranteed to be up.. if the server is down the colo facility will let me know. I have external boxes in several different colo facilities that constantly ping the trading server...

Of course you are absolutely right, but I sure as hell don't plan on being wiped out. I can only *hope* that this phase in humanity's ignorance is short lived.

I have to disgree somewhat. Strict stop loss orders after every entry are necessary. Also, automatic shutdown in case capital falls below expected max drawdown during the day. Quote feed monitoring is required as well. E.g. a watchdog sounds an alarm if a quote stream goes silent for more than...

Yikes. That sucks. Why not trade on ARCA?

Maybe related... how fast is your quote feed?

What? If i was presented with evidence that god did exist when of course I was believe. That does not mean I am agnostic however. The chances of god being able to exist (in any form that any other human has claimed to think up) is 0. The concept of god itself is man made. Maybe you think that...

Absolutely not. Nor do I believe in karma, UFOs (aliens probably exist somewhere though), spirits, demons, angels, goblins, etc. Anyone who believes in ghosts has some very serious mental problems (yes, i know that means a lot of people).

LOL. The liberal media. You conservatives really are funny. I have news for you. The media is in no way liberal and is in fact "balanced' at best and imho, right-leaning. What is a "spirit" exactly? There is no such thing. Your feeble mind made up the concept to explain the fact that we are...

Interesting. I've used hdf years ago, but only for data visualization programs.. I never knew it was a general purpose high performance data library. I may look into this in the future. Thanks

This is the most utterly idiotic post I've read in quite a while. If god did exist, then he would know that you are only believing just to save your ass and would send you to hell for that. I am not cynical, I just sound that way when provoked by religious lunatics such as yourself.

I'll have a good laugh at your ignorance and continue on. Too bad you won't have a functioning brain to realize you are wrong when you are dead. The "virgin" mary was a whore.

For me it is very important to be able to quickly and efficiently store data, run simulations, optimize, test models, etc. All of the reaons you mentioned for using sleepycat are true. I initially started off using mysql, then postgres, and oracle, none of them could hold a candle to sleepy/BDB...

Yes, don't do it. Mysql is a piece of garbage. If you are going to go SQL then go postgres. However, I wouldn't suggest SQL at all. For a really amazing database checkout Sleepycat (aka Berkeley DB). Network IO,sql,etc, you don't need any of that overheard. Sleepycat is great because you...

Fuck your book. Bad things happen to good people. Good things happen to bad people. There is no correlation. It is better to be good, but that depends on where you live, what time it is, the people around you, your upbringing, the brainwashing by your government, etc, etc. Getting hung up on all...

Bullshit. Nothing "proved" their faith. They chose to accept some ludicrous explanation rather than the more likely and real explanation.

This mschey joker is on my ignore list, but I am not angry. I thouroughly enjoy myself each day without the burden of worrying about ghosts and goblins and all this other sort of bullshit. Jesus was a pussy. Just because I don't use 100 smileys in my post you assume I am "angry". If i was a...

I believe you are absolutely full of shit. I trade with full confidence that my system will generate money consistently and avoid big losses by rigourous statistical modelling and evaluation. That lets me sleep at night, and the fact that I never hold over night. There is no luck, hope, prayer...

I know the bible well. My favorite parts are the one where god smears shit on peoples faces, or makes them bake bread with shit. What an awesome all-mighty being!! Or maybe you should throw away your fucking computer, give everything to charity and stop trading, because it is all just shit...

How about fuck whores and do blow and get rich? There is no correlation, except that people who pray are more likely to expect the easter bunny to just hand them shit. If you don't get shit handed to you then it "wasn't god's will", nice justification. People who do not rely on such massively...

Yes. Any protection scheme can be broken. period. Just depends on the level of skill/determination required to break it.
