A new, smaller and faster Kernel More optimal code throughout Good application compatibility. A radical shift in the graphics driver technology. Too many other things to mention Quite smoothed. The following article from the Windows development team explains the versioning numbers used...

I posted this info in another thread, but think quite a few people may be interested, so have posted it again. Windows 7 RC is now downloadable from Microsoft. It allows up to 10 screens of 32bit colour to be remoted. Speed is fantastic, and the driver support on Windows 7 is really good too...

I recommend the PNY NVS 440 video card in conjunction with 4 Dell 2408WFP monitors. Trading in front of 4 of these monitors is great and you get a resolution of 3840x2400 - you can fit 40 TT ladders on each monitor. Unless orientated vertically, I personally find the 30" screens too big for...

Windows 7 has not turned out to be Vista Release 2, it is a wonderful operating system and for many professional traders it will change the way they work. Consider this: * Boot and shutdown times extremely fast * Low memory footprint * Arguably faster than both XP and Vista But here is...

Depends which day it is - don't take any of those relationships for granted.

Looking for funding for algorithmic trading system. Must be located in London. Anticipate 500% to 1000% return based upon last year of market activity. Interested? Private message me. Will only consider clearing firms or names which I recognize.

Technically speaking if you require an EXACT price it is wrong. Say for example a result of 1.99999999(etc) causes a bid price to be rounded down on a contract with a tick size of 0.01 (thus quoting 1.99 in the market), this may well result in a loss rather than a profit. In a high-frequency...

Use rational numbers... if you are using C++ the boost library rational classes may be a good point to start. If you are basing your calculations on discrete prices (i.e. 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, ...) then maybe you should consider storing the price in ticks i.e (0 -> 0.0, 1 -> 0.5, 2...

You can write VB code to open the .txt file as a data source (JET type), and read the data as you would a database. This support document from Microsoft explains the process: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257819

I would not recommend studying psychology per se - and would instead focus on certain branches of psychology or related fields. In addition to these an understanding of probability and game theory will hold you in better stead than knowing how to make a dog salivate or know what a split brain...

The original question was for "market analysis" - as SQL Server contains analysis tools (especially geared to time-series data) I would still deem it a good choice. Had the system geared towards streaming data to clients, then I agree, a linear database would be better suited.

There are (within database) APIs available for storing large amounts of data quickly to both MSSQL and Oracle. My experience is that with a decent SCSI drive you can easily get MSSQL to store 3000+ ticks per second. More often than not - when developing tick databases it is worth checking if...

What I consider as important points in ATS development: 1. Don't try and learn programming yourself - unless it is for basic tasks which can be implemented in VBA and the like. If your plumbing needed attention and it was a complex task most people would call a plumber. 2. In order for a...
