    Building a TradeEngine, need syntax advice!

    I started a thread some years ago on a similar topic: Zen and the art of ATS design You'll have to wade through the initial pages of verbiage to get to the syntax stuff that might be of interest to you. Reading it now makes me cringe a bit but I've learned a lot since then. Good luck.

    Zen and the art of ATS design...

    Well, you're about the only one getting into it. Sadly there wasn't enough interest in this thread at the time combined with not being able to commit enough time to keep it going on my part. This thread is two and a half years old and some of the ideas I wrote about here are also now a bit...

    Perceptions of Islam in the Christendoms

    No I didn't. I said: "Only someone that does not know any Muslims can truly believe these statements." Read it for yourself. It's in black and white for all the world to see that you are trying to revise. Hence my original assertion. If you obviously believe those statements then you...

    Perceptions of Islam in the Christendoms

    YOU quoted the article. Do you believe those statements or not? I don't care about the author.

    Perceptions of Islam in the Christendoms

    Only someone that does not know any Muslims can truly believe these statements. In which case, you a) have zero authority on this subject matter as you do not have first hand knowledge of the people you are talking about. Your knowledge is coming purely from (questionable) literature or b)...

    IB API multi leg order.

    If you can manually create this "multi-leg" order in TWS, there is a good chance you can do it via the API. In short, you are looking for a special kind of order type that will be run at IB. If you look at the order types supported by IB on their website I don't think this is one of them -...

    URGENT, Secure Device Required for TWS

    I do run TWS on a machine with absolutely nothing else on it, fully locked down. That is half the point of me renting a box. The problem is, it is strategically located half-way around the world - to optimize ping times. I can't be flying across the world every time I log in to authenticate...

    beautiful women

    Just about everywhere I've been has beautiful women. I didn't see that many women in general when I was in India though. However, many Bollywood actresses are no doubt very pleasing to the eye and many Indian women born/living in western countries are also good looking. I wouldn't rule...

    URGENT, Secure Device Required for TWS

    Rather than PM'ing you as you suggest, I'd prefer to ask this question out in the open if you don't mind as a lot of people want to know the answer: Is there going to be an opt-out for individual accounts, yes or no? This was promised on another thread. I run TWS and client software...

    IB API Portfolio Monitor tool

    Cool. As for additional suggestions: I'm not sure if this fits into the scope of what you had in mind but I've been meaning to build a little utility app to check the connection to IB servers. Basically, rather than doing a manual ping/traceroute and some other diagnosis stuff when I get...

    RightEdge vs. QuantDeveloper

    Well, as per my earlier post here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1325353#post1325353 I've been on the lookout for this and my subtle-not-so-subtle intent was to see if you might be in the mood for sharing your hard work in developing the grammar! That is, unless...

    Volatility Model

    Why? I made no such assertion. I'd rather not get into some kind of semantics debate. That is the bane of many forum threads here. Suffice it to say, I don't have exact figures at hand and I don't really follow it that closely but my experience tells me that double-digit differences from...

    Volatility Model

    It's not neccesarily about predicting volatility. There is a lot that can be learned from modelling the nature of volatility. By that I mean, you don't have to be able to predict when a takeover or scandal occurs to be able to model those kinds of events in order to have a better understanding...

    Volatility Model

    Your questions may be better answered by others with mathfin backgrounds and pricing model experience: www.nuclearphynance.com www.wilmott.com www.global-derivatives.com Though, there are a few on ET that do have the requisite knowledge also. I am not one of them.

    [POLL] Market Timing/Top/Bottom Calling/Cheerleading/Crash Prediction Threads...

    Not much of a sample but seems to be split between people who don't care and those that would rather not see these threads. At least one person likes to see these threads. Perhaps I should have added a further poll option: - No, thank you. I like seeing these threads because I base my...

    Some random site ideas for Baron...

    Indeed, I hate interstitial advertisements and I always "skip" them just as I would always "skip" this poll myself. However, there does appear to be a number of ET members who don't seem to ever tire of making these predictions and it is these members who the poll would collect data from...
