    how to incorporate live data feed

    I'd suggest you work on the tester, first. Obviously, you haven't made one because the tester (and the system) you used doesn't incorporate live conditions. Let's say you have all the historical backtesting engine and testing done. You just have to convert the historical data reader to a...

    Who wants to program my Profitable Trading System?

    I'm confident to say that this won't test well. I'm also confident to say that that it will make you very frustrated if you see the results of running this live in ATS. One issue is you have the core trading decision way too fuzzy to make you (OP) to feel that ATS doesn't work. For...

    "The month is not over yet. Well, we've always watched things closely, not because of this market. But always." RenTech is doing the same thing they do best at.

    Trading Platforms Pros and Cons - What is your favorite trading platform

    TradingBlox is solid. It's probably the closest platform you can get, to a "professional 'custom'" platform. (I'm talking about the Builder, not the other versions) The framework is written in C++ coded by Curtis Faith, an original Turtle, who knows more than enough about systematic...

    2% rule on small accounts?

    2% rule is just an over-rated rule that the "outdated"-Market Wizard book created. I am very very very sure that: 1. Most of the MWs aren't trading anymore. 2. The surviving MWs trade differently since the book. ---------------------------------------------------------- For small...

    Mbps VS. Ping, which one is more important? advice needed!!!

    Generally, speaking: Ping. > Mbps. Ping tells you how fast a message reaches the destination. This is what's important. Anything after that becomes something a person with this type of question wouldn't ask.

    Trading Systems -- newbie

    Hrrrmmm... 1. Stop trading. I'm not saying, quite trading. Stop in the time being. You should stop wasting time and money with your current trading and focus on development. Initially, you'll be required to use money and time developing on getting the necessary tools to develop...

    Launched High Frequency Automated Trading Blackbox

    It's more a simple issue. Most people don't need to use C++/UNIX. C#/Win Server is more than enough for most. Prolly, a good measurement would be how your internal quote server is and the ISP bandwidth you're dealing with... What people think / hoping about is beyond the capability...

    Question about programming languages

    Delphi's pretty fast. C++ is a no brainer. C# is weaker compared to the other 2 choices. Seemingly, the OP is asking a question that is pretty obvious... :confused: :confused: :confused:

    Launched High Frequency Automated Trading Blackbox

    Agree. It's not something to be discussed in a public forum. If someone is really interested, it's better if you leave a PM with your personal E-mail on it. In terms of legal issues, some countries don't like it when a hedge fund markets their product without the proper registeration...

    RenTec's Quant Equity Fund down 8.7% for August

    Of course, RenTech has been the "watch" for everyone in the industry. Along with some of the top hedge funds in the world, they're always under the scrutiny of "everyone" watching over them. I do not work "in" or "for" RenTech. and don't plan on posting material out of compliance, but...

    'Wall Street' sequel to set Gordon Gekko in hedge fund era

    Protege... hrmmm... realistically... Seth Green or DJ Qualls.... It's gotta be a geeky lookin' kid. Most of the athletic jocks end up becoming sales/marketing. Maybe a local or specialist in the floor. "The Rock" or Vin Diesel... ( I guess it'll become like the Boiler room) Desk...
