It's in the first reference, after the pic of the people with headsets on.

This fact has me rubbing my eyes in disbelief. How can a financial case possibly be made for hiring a U.S. Software Engineer? Perhaps for a rock star like Bjarne Stroustrup, but for the vast majority, forget it. A whole team of foreign Sr. Software Engineers in India can be bought for the same...

Epic engagement ring.

Hey All, I'm lucky enough to be able to attend the Americas Trading Briefing at GS this year: http://www.fixtradingcommunity.org/pg/conferences/3286267/americas-trading-briefing-date-tbc/#divs-0 Anyone also going this year? It might be cool to meet in person. Anyone previously been to this...

Well, I'm not qualified to give advice, but in my opinion: 1. Stay away from instruments that take big plunges up and down: NO PHARMA, beware cutting-edge tech. One move against you, and you're deep in the red for months with dead money, or you have to dump and take the loss. Also avoid smaller...

Hey All, Can anyone point me to any good resources for learning the ins and outs of gold? - ETFs - futures - metal (buy and hold): -- bullion -- jewelry Thanks, Keith

The API!

Hey All, Why would a seller agree to a repository agreement? I understand that the investor can make a relatively quick buck by buying the securities, securing the buyback at a future date, and getting all their ca$h back with interest. What does the seller get out of this? A pot of ca$h to...

Shale is killing everyone.

HS=High Speed (which I distinguish from high-frequency). HS for me is at least 1ms tick times; IB runs at 250ms. I did a little scalping with IB, and got latency; it drove me CRAZEEE--that's why I stopped. I was on an Xfinity cable connection using TWS over the TWS-API. I also wrote a C++...

You'll connect NT to IB through either IB's terminal API (aka TWS-API) or through the IB gateway. You must have one running and authenticated to trade. TWS itself is a full-featured broker interface; the latter is just a gateway. TWS might serve as an adequate replacement for NT. You'll...

Hello All, Is Quickfix still relevant today? Has it been supplanted by another open-source FIX engine? 1. The forum is throwing an error. 2. The documentation site is 404 3. For the most part, Github repo has not been updated in about 3 years. It doesn't seem to be a healthy, thriving...

Ah! Thank you!! This is what I was looking for... I just pulled out my old copy of "Design Patterns," and there it is. :)

I am coding a C++ system that interfaces between many connections, each speaking a different FIX dialect--or even a different protocol altogether (REST, JSON, binary, and SMTP/POP3 email-like messaging systems). What am I trying to accomplish? I'm doing a deep, technical dive into how to do...

...you take away its credit card! :D :D :D

1. Find your niche. Based on your past experience, identify the sector or financial instrument that you know best. You'd be surprised at how much you don't know that you know, and how applicable it is to trading. For example, if you worked for the electric company, focus on utilities. Worked in...

L O L, I made a similar mistake. I pulled up the SPY and thought, "Why isn't that needle moving? It's stuck at that price..."

Heya Peeps, I'm looking for resources relating to how to write gateway adapters for FIX and binary transmissions to/from the various exchanges throughout the world. C++ work. Do they each have their own interface specs? I found this for the nyse, but wonder if there's something better out...
