if you want to use more than 3-4GB of memory in your java apps you want 64bit.

somewhat interesting that this bug/thread which started in 2007 still persists in 2013. I had same issue as OP: Didn't seem to matter whether I used 64bit or 32bit java, same error. Instead I found a random jts.ini file on google and copied it jts directory, fixed it right away...

with that much history it limits you somewhat, but tickdata.com and cqg data are good choices.

no worries, the wilmott thread above also touches on why there is a misconception about this. "so, all other things being equal, getting the job done quickly ought to be better than getting it done more slowly, no?" Yes this is true for a given strategy and profit targets, but it's...

tiddlywinks is right, the length of holding is not frequently the best proxy for risk unless A and B. eg if B is trading something 10x more volatile than A then the length of holding doesn't factor much. even if A and B are trading the same instrument, the actual risk (in terms of loss of...

lightspeed is good, and everybody i know that uses taikon loves it.

yeah i see that is maybe why he's using TL since it has infra to make that drugery stuff easier.

excel will be too slow, plus no backtest. tradelink meets your criteria, if you use glean to have the 'as easy to use as excel' part

could do w/tradelink if you used email instead of a sound

tradelink

if you have the data and/or a feed w/data, you can do it with tradelink.

glean... a pracplay package, pracplay big tradelink contributor
