    Currenex, HotSpotFxi, Lava - Pimps for the Banks? - No Scalpers

    FIX for what broker? if IB. what made you decide over the regular API? I am trying to convince myself to spend the time / money in switching over to FIX. Do you know if you can still monitor your account using TWS to deal with any ATS issues?

    Complaint!

    Is there any benefit to limiting regular users to 30 min edit times? I know in almost every other forum I've used over the years its always been unlimited and is actually quite useful when wanting to expand or correct ideas. Maybe something to consider. (Editing beyond 30 min without admin help)...

    AAPL : Institutions driving down price today to get in cheap before MacWorld !!

    now that everybody knows it as iPhone, its always market branded. regardless of what they call it now. When someone sees one they will say 'is that an iPhone?' not iFone or iTalk or iMobile or whatever they plan on calling it if they cant use iPhone.

    Trading bot construction (IB)

    Does anyone have any opinions of the FIX protocol for building a trading bot on IB? Is it worth the extra time / money to implement? Is it still possible to be logged into TWS while its running to overview all trades? Is the execution speed, data feed compression, # of feeds etc better than the...

    Sad Sad Day for PALM,RIMM

    personally i dont want other drivers even talking on the cell phone when driving. mythbusters did a good episode about how the effects of talking on the cell phone while driving were as bad / worse than being drunk.

    Sad Sad Day for PALM,RIMM

    ya there is no pen involved with the iphone apparently. its all tapping/scrolling on the screen. apple is all about plain / minimal stuff. even though the phone is pretty bare. i thought it looked amazing with a nice high res background picture covering the whole phone.

    Sad Sad Day for PALM,RIMM

    nitro, the no keypad concept is huge. iv been waiting for a purely display based interface ever since seeing it on star trek when I was a kid. the multi touch screen is revolutionary with what it can do / change how people use computers, at least the MIT demos were pretty amazing.

    I may be young and stupid but I am not... what was the third thing you said? Anyone who owns an ipod and uses it almost every day knows that apple will be around for a while. Great products, even better marketing.

    "Apple is going to reinvent the phone," Chief Executive Steve Jobs told an audience

    the price is similar to what you would pay for a top of the line blackberry or palm pda. i think if they could price it for less they would. im guessing the production costs are just too high right now. if they managed to get it down to 200$ or less. they would take a lot more than 1% of the...

    AAPL : Institutions driving down price today to get in cheap before MacWorld !!

    looking at the live coverage of macworld.. very impressive.. if they implemented the multi touch screen correctly (like that multi touch screen demo from MIT).. apple might take a huge chunk of the phone / pda market with one product.
