The only real argument I've heard is "this isn't the bottom", but you'll never know that until you're five years past the bottom. You can definitely say that securities are a lot cheaper than they were six months ago. The bottom might continue to fall making things cheaper, but if you were...

Came in to say that. I've been writing c# for years so it was natural for me, and as yous said there's a ton of documentation out there that's in c#. I occasionally have to write python, which drives me nuts, but it's a good skill to have. R is good as well for the times I've bumped into...

I'm a professional software developer with over 20 years of experience. I build and test my systems like crazy. I don't even like going to get a cup of coffee or use the restroom while my gear is running without me. At worst some problem I never anticipated can arise (bad data, latency, insane...

Just an update that I got it to work just fine on .net core 2.x

I had to compile my own binaries, as such I think the whole thing is open source. The documentation is a little goofy but the code is all there.

C# worked great. Took a few hours to upgrade from my 2015 dll, but I bet they fixed a lot. Won't run on .net core though.

To the original thread, and maybe there's some way to do this, I'd like to be able to control TWS directly. Specifically when a position is taken (order filled), I'd like a new chart (or maybe existing) to open to the security specified in the order. For monitoring and improved execution I like...

Some extremely high percentage of your posts consists of defending Python and lambasting C#. Which is just down right silly for any competent software professional.

All of my API brackets are still working normally, for whatever it's worth. Are you getting any kind of debug output (or reviewing the audit files) to see what's happening?

There are a lot of new data sources coming online that simply didn't exist before. (auto/programatically) Getting market sentiment from seekingalpha.com, or something of that sort. There's a ton of survivorship bias in most backtesting no matter what you do. As mentioned above, the very short...

I'd be a lot more comfortable with huge drawdowns.

I don't think the Federal Reserve was ever designed to "control" the markets but rather to be (in general terms) a very strong actor, which is still very much is.

:D

~1m or so

Zero sum game, all are welcome.

For whatever it's worth I've liked having my data source different from my brokerage. IB's data has a lot going for it, but keeping them as two completely different pieces of software is nice from a responsibility stand point. Really different application needs as well. And I wanted tick.

the sell side, staying classy

I was going to make a joke about wanting to buy the right, but not the obligation, to purchase them for a lower price later in the future.

BATSY, 0.0016 to remove liquidity. The fill rate probably sucks, which makes a bigger deal for me than the kickback. http://cdn.batstrading.com/resources/regulation/rule_book/BYX_Fee_Schedule.pdf

FX is its own (rotten) bag of potatoes. If you own equities I'm not sure why you're concerned with a brokerage failing, and IB went pretty smoothly through 2008. If you have a huge pile of cash sitting in an uninsured brokerage cash account, well then that's just bad cash management in general...
