All modern operating systems support some sort of memory mapped I/O. Regardless of programming language, nothing will be faster than letting the operating system handle all file I/O in the kernel.

Sheeesh calm down everybody. We are all (supposed to be) traders. When this gets enough publicity (and the truth ALWAYS eventually gets out), the SEC will be forced to start doing their jobs and enforcing the laws. The squeeze resulting from stocks with more than 100% of the float short will...

When I used to trade stocks, I understood that wash sales only affect your total tax bill if they straddle the 31 days that includes the end of the (tax) year. At all other times, it only affected your basis, not your P&L. If you are paying quarterly estimated tax payments, you would also...

Just calculate the screen size by multiplying the width by the height. 2x17" will have more screen area (number of pixels) than 1x19" or 1x22"
