I'm writing and written my own. Currently, I'm converting most of my Front-end app from WinForm to WPF. I read about a good open source library that may improve the performance of my codes. I code and test them using profilers.... If the new stuff improves the performance, I replace the...

You probably won't need it but I had to deal with receiving socket msgs over SSL. It's good to keep it in the back of your head if you ever have to send/receive msgs from remote servers. http://www.example-code.com/csharp/socket.asp or if you like to use generic stuff...

In terms of programming you pretty much have only 3 choices: C++ Java C# Reason is quite obvious... testing engine is not the only thing you'll be required to program. Whatever language you pick, you will definitely need to know C++ so that you can tweak lib codes. For example...

This is a better recommendation than mine. I strongly support and can't live without all the gadgets from Apache.

Google "SqlDependency" or "Asynchronous Sockets". You'll find sample codes and do what's appropriate for you.

I actually understand the irony of the post. But I think you would agree that you wouldn't take things mentioned in these post or books and trade them as they are written. I'm sure everyone has their own set of criteria for considering and accepting what other people mention.

Is Quantitative Analysis included in Tech. Analysis? How about Systematic Trading vs. Technical Analysis? How about Neuro-linguistic Newsfeed Agent vs. Technical Analysis? How about Quantitative Analysis over a company's balance sheet? Before all of you start writing other people's names...

Get a job at a successful trading firm. 1. Everything you think and people tell you are pretty much BS until you see it happening or confirmed via money. 2. General idea of trading within a retail environment is only the tip of the iceberg, compared to how the institutions make money...

Do both (Approach from both ends). There's no rule saying you have to pick one or the other.

The question is the outright cost/time required to develop it and maintain it. That said, bwolinsky's system seems like a reasonable system for an Average Joe. Disregarding his hubris, he does make a good point, "TIME TO TIME" Only, if he had some more industry knowledge and started...
