    NinjaTrader vs OpenQuant for automated trading

    I played with them both, Ninja is much better documented and easier in that regard, they are moving more towards event driven too... I like Openquant a lot better however but I dread starting a project in it because the docs are not too useful and getting them to provide an example of code on...

    List of great muslim/arab inventions or discoveries

    You were on topic, that took me by complete surprise... and brought to mind actual on-topic things like houses with shutters that are changed seasonally for cooling, a form of swamp cooling done by hanging a wet towel in front of a door and having the wind exit the room via a hole in the roof...

    Prison America

    The war on drugs is idiotic, a simple sampling of countries around the world will allow anybody to relate punishment severity to drug usage, usage is less where things are legal... there are so many political scams going on right now. the drug war, the race war where nobody hires blacks because...

    World: are you ready?...Iran war coming

    Iran is the big hotbutton news story... it would take hundreds of sorties [sounds a lot better than "bombing runs" doesn't it] to wipe out Iran's nuke program, they didn't centrally locate it like Saddam H did... the Israelis don't have the planes to get it done as quickly as it needs to be done...

    Supreme Court Upholds Right to Own A Gun

    Spies and wiretaps, BFD... I sent a nice email to a Pacifica station recently, congratulated them on having a link to a suicide help hotline because their listeners are going to need it after they listen to 24/7 leftist drivel... they are whining pretty much all the time about the old days when...

    Obama's plan for taxes

    Some people analyzed Obama's tax thingys, they say it's rhetoric, there isn't enough money there to make a difference in anything..... The guy is the farthest left of 100 Senators by his voting record, that's all you have to know about Obama, whatever he says is pure bullshit because nobody...

    CBOT "losing" your stop market orders

    That is Globex is it not? Globex stop orders are not resident with the exchange, they reside with your broker, or apparently sometimes they don't..... you might do better if they resided on your machine and an alarm went off when they were hit, you could check that they were executed... your...

    Why do 98% of traders fail???

    Most people can develope a system that looks ok but is in reality not this side of random at all... they win sometimes and they get their head beat down sometimes, eventually they abandon the system for another thing that is not at all this side of random either, and after a few systems are...

    Only fools are complaining about gas prices

    Once again, I find that the same single word is my personal answer to the thread's dilemma: Camaro!! I'm resurrecting the V6 Camaro that has been lifeless in my garage... it gets [after the engine rebuild] 26-27 mpg highway and I can charge the fuel cost to my entertainment budget, it is that...

    Siemens to cut 17,200 jobs

    I used to work for them 15 years ago, wonderful employer, just way, way better than you would believe possible... but there were rumors of corruption even then. I think it was assumed by lots of employees that the higher ups were corrupt, even the lower level managers could be krappy and...

    WTF - Fortis, RBC, Barclays, GS - all calling for a FINANCIAL MELTDOWN!!!!

    In the short term the cost of fuel and the unwinding of the debt thingy are not done affecting the economy... besides, our periodical recession is due to happen anyhow. if Windows OS could recognize speech and eliminate the mouse and keyboard it might set off a tech bubble again but it would...

    Obama the Socialist

    Yup, Obama will be the second term of Jimmy Carter and the fourth term of Roosevelt.... after 8 years of Obama we will have cobbled together the worst of all worlds, no incentive to produce and a patchwork of socialism that doesn't work for anybody except Obama's fellow lawyers.......

    Would you pay $50 per month for Premium Elite Trader without trolls and spammers?

    'Ya know, I had to think about this, I've always known that a little cover charge will keep the riff raff out but really, if I paid for entry to a site, and all the other entrants paid for same, I would be a lot more likely to post actual useful stuff.. as it is, I never post stock...

    TS2000i to IB TWS Bridge

    I'm pretty sure you can go full auto with Ninja. Regarding the different sessions you can probably apply that in your code... the Ninja language definitely supports being able to check the time stamp of a tick, you could write the two strategies into one piece of code and check the time stamp of...
