Hello, My company is a software / hardware vendor that's developed a hardware based Risk, market data and order gateway engine. We are gearing up for the product launch. What are the rules on this site regarding product announcements? I am also interested in sponsorship ability. Thanks.

I vote Buyside, with respect for the sellside. Why? More action / effort behind the act of Buying - they dont HAVE to buy (or sell, act really), but do. Without them, there is no activity / vol(ume)(itility). Much respect for the sellside though in making the market possible in the first...

Thanks for all the feedback. I think i understand why all commodities fell - there was deflation taking place- correct? (looking at oil, gold, ag stocks, they fell very hard - counter to inflation). Yet, wouldnt the massive bailouts cause inflation to occur? I still dont understand why...

Hello. I am a long time lurker, and enjoy the forums very much - collectively, there is a wealth of information here, and i thank everyone here for making me a better person by understanding the world - which is heavily dependent on the markets. I am not a trader - rather, a software guy (in...

"For example, you wouldn't expect todays collapse to imply that there's bad news tomorrow, would you?" Ok. I'm short now. Thanks for the tip. :) When creating my systems, i ran into that dependency idea. I decided to not even persue it. In other words, I only look at whats happening...

Oh boy. I guess you got me. Your list: - the issue - the bar period - the earliest time to enter the trade - the latest time to exit the trade (or the maximum trade duration) - the entry threshold for the trade entry parameter - the stop - the target profit. I do use...

Hypo, your approach to all of this is something i do also. My system(s) are so simple, it is something i would be embarrased to market. They are based on ideas (or counter ideas) that i observe, and i have conviction in the reasoning and methods. As far as Optimizing or Curvefitting, the...

I speak to many developers, through my job / friendships. Believe it or not, half of these guys (20?) ditched C++ for apps. and use VB instead. They say its quicker (SO much quicker) and less headaches (no gobage cleanup). No apparent performance difference they say. I have been meaning to...

I had the same question (in another thread). Looking on amazon, i see books about financial modeling using excel. Just wondering if anyone has seen / read this book? Excel and VBA may come in handy, and they are a whole lot quicker then C++ (my current language for app design). (I am new...

I store bars in text file. Only because its quicker to read (i use minute bars, and get many). Database is an option - but would also require more effort, although not much. I can say this - text is messy. For example, i have text files which hold a lot of data - they are huge in size, and...

Let me know if you got PM (not sure if it was sent).

Thanks. Any advice? This year my first trading futures. Anything I need to prepare for, or just worry about it at end of year?

Really, looking for more info about Taxes on futures / need some direction. I am active trader. Thanks.

http://www.tradersaccounting.com/products/tsft.asp Anyone use this (buy it) and say if its decent or not (worth it)?

I think Acrary mentions he writes his own apps. Which brings me to a question - I have a question for Mackie - did you write that wonderful Excel spread sheet? If so, any advice for a C++ developer who wants to start using Excel / VBA? (I mean any good books i can learn from?). Thanks for...

There was another topic on this recently, under index futures i think. The "official" rollover is this coming Thursday - BUT, i have been in the June Contracts since Thursday. The best time to roll over (for me) is the first day previous to the second Friday of the Current Front month...

So thats about 120 million dollars (1332590 * 90 bid price (stocks now @ 93 - lets say he works out of it for a few weeks, with 90 his avg price)). WTF?? EIther the person who was kind enough to calc. the adjusted split shares made an error (i am too lazy to do it) or this is a put on...

Is it the thursday before the third friday of the month?

This is very nice. Thanks.

This is something that troubles me. On CNBC, they say "Oh, she will get probation". BUT the gov. MUST follow the sentencing guidelines. Sure, they can reduce where she is on the point scale, she is still facing alot of time according to the federal guidelines.
