Great to hear that about RTD....now getting IB to roll it out....that's another story. Regarding the multithreading....I've heard that CALCULATIONS are now multithreaded....however, that does not solve the problem of the interactive GUI controls and Msgbox. A Msgbox will stop all ActiveX event...

The big problem with Excel and even Microsoft warns about this: STA (Single Threaded Architecture). This is a killer for realtime analysis. All trading platforms of any significance are multi-threaded in design. There are ways to skirt this problem with Excel, but you've really got to be an...

Uh....what date is it ? Is this Feb 2000 or ......?

Don't try to predict, just react. Heck, a couple of good earnings reports could give a short-term lift to the markets.

I can't WAIT for that 5 - 6 move to occur ! WHEN, OH WHEN ? That's the big question. Now, August, or September ?

First, get "WISE" and build yourself a trading "Watchlist" of stocks with decent liquidity and movement. 1000 to 2000 symbols should do fine. Next, determine the max. time frame for your determination of "narrowing BBands"...1 min, 5 min, etc. Finally, get some historical data for the 1000-2000...

Exactly what was their problem with Excel ?

Listen-up guys: this is pretty complex. I've seen some Easy Language code HUNDREDS OF LINES long attempt to do this. Bottomline: It ain't easy. See this guy, who has spent a lot of time researching this subject: Inside Edge Systems is managed by Bill Brower. You can contact him several...

This has changed in the beta version 9.2 of the API. RealTimeBars captures the EXACT Open,High,Low,Close,VWAP,Volume, and TickCount (not sampled). My only complaint: TickCount should be replaced with UpTicks,DownTicks,SideTicks. Wow, now you're talking great data !

Listen up ! I don't disagree with you on this, but if you think THEY are bad, just check out some of the young Americans in HEALTHCARE. Omigosh, TOTAL IDIOTS, but guess what ? They're all working, all PROSPERING. This is much different than engineer and information technology graduates. Ask...

I vote on Rock Lobster at Penn's Landing....say Aug. 3rd ?

I just bid on a contract spot that would have paid what I was billing out over 25 years ago. Natch, the place was out-sourced to-the-max with Infosys people at 80% of the payroll.

OMIGOSH - did you guys just get off the turnip truck or what ? You're using a WEB BASED tool for futures trading ? With all of the browser incompatibility problems and what-not, you want a solid trading platform via web browser ? Get real, and use a real tool that is workstation-based. If...

C++ going down....processors continue to improve in speed. Best to move to C#/.NET and Java. Both are very similar.

Nah....great coding in software always, always outperforms faster hardware. Cases in point: 1) quicksort vs. bubblesort. 2) single-threaded vs. multi-threaded.

You got that right. ...only takes a few years of experience to understand that option "stops" can get filled FAR, FAR away from the intended price. Reason: wild moves on the open. Better do a ton of backtesting on this one dude....and hopefully, you've got solid option price data history...

This is ominous. You've rewritten Tradestation ( +1 million lines of code), right ? Wow, you've gotta be at least masters or PhD level in CompSci, right ? If not, you've not done the proper (and complex) multi-threading programming necessary for a smooth-running realtime trading application.

Shop around: http://www.traderslog.com/proprietarytradingfirms.htm My rec: get at least 3 offers, do due diligence on each of the three. The entire "Deal" is totally negotiable with trade volume being the big factor.

Incomprehensible. You must be on drugs. No "druggies" allowed in our esteemed group....sorry.

TS2000i is 7 year old software and is unsupported. Amibroker is 5 year old software and is STILL supported. Huge difference. TS2000i = deadware Regarding the issue: TS2000i will allow trade entries at ANY price based on the signal being triggered at the CLOSE of a bar. The huge problem...
