    Decimal Handling in C++

    Ah that one! You need to store the data in numeric format to say 4 fixed decimal places. For this you either need to buy a library that implements this or simply write your own, i.e. a simple wrapper class that stores the number as a string and performs all the math operations as a double as...

    Jokes 2

    Just found this one .... Jose and Carlos are panhandlers… They panhandle in different areas of town. Carlos panhandles just as long as Jose but only collects 2 to 3 dollars every day. Jose brings home a suitcase FULL of $10 bills, drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage free house and has...

    Which Caribbean Island to move to

    How about the upcoming Isla de Cuba: 1. (Reported) Low crime for the time being 2. Plenty of things to do if you carry enough "fulas" with you at all times. 3. Plenty of educated people. They even export them. But please first define success and then I am sure you'll find some! 4. Hey...

    Hedge Fund

    Sorry, I don't get it .... prop firms and hedge funds are in a different business altogether, the underlying business model is completely different, so why the mix up? I guess your underlying reasoning is the following: "Hedge Funds - a nice (dream) place to work as a trader but very...

    prop firm interview question

    I'd say: Risk vs Reward scenario does not make the trade worth taking. Stay in cash until a better opportunity comes along :cool:

    Major Recession or a New Depression?

    Maybe before this becomes too personal, I should just point out that I am based in Euroland (not La La Land even though I do let me children watch the Teletubbies from time to time) and my views on this issue are as impartial as it gets. Sorry mate, no hidden agenda. Regarding your...

    Major Recession or a New Depression?

    Well, I am not too worried about it. I do not believe it will happen in my life time, just another market correction for now. So I just go about my business as usual, building up the inheritance for my children. On the other hand, people like Jim Rogers just moved to Singapore as a...

    Major Recession or a New Depression?

    Hey OnePostGuy, are you having a conversation with yourself or what? I was referring to the qualitative 'prediction' of the article supposedly written in 2005 and the lack of substance thereof. As I said before, maybe 3/4 of the world's population has been predicting a doomsday for the...

    Major Recession or a New Depression?

    Lots of waffle and little substance. Just another doomsday scenario without any concrete areas of analysis to base the prediction on. Basically it is nothing else than a simplistic attack on GW's personality (or lack of it) and a free ride on the rising negative sentiment against the rising...

    SQL db design recommendation

    Oliver, Any database design must take into consideration the purpose of the data and the intended use. There will always be trade-offs between the ease of use and the performance factors. Obviously, the smaller the size of the rows (and table) the faster the access will be. Relational...

    How much does a profitable method or strategy costs?

    Not quite. There is always an optimal limit for a given strategy, given among others, the scalability factor and the risk profile. If this was not so, then every multibillion dollar fund would only need 1 working strategy and the funds would soon become multi-thrillion or multi-zillion ...
