Ja, Ja.

Quote from hilojack:

I would be very interested in this arrangement Joel, but my CTA is in NYC. Any thoughts on moving?

From my local paradise of Tenerife? No way.

I did spend about 10 years in the US, mostly in NYC and working on Wall St. Don't really want to go back.

That said, all my clients are remote and I rarely go on-site. Take a look at my LinkedIn recommendations.

I'm sure you are a great guy Joel and no disrespect is intended, but take a look at the " how to protect my strategies" thread. Nothing leaves my office-- ever.

Yes, I went through the 3 (I think) threads on the subject.

This is also why I gave up on the idea of the web-based EasyLanguage to NinjaTrader C# translator.

That said, it seems that most of the strategies depend on 1) markets they are used on and, 2) optimized parameters. Miss #1 and #2 and there's no profit in stealing.

For starters, i wouldn't leave Spain either so I don't blame you.

Secondly, I have given far far too much money to lawyers just to scare the shit out of unscrupulous programmers I have dealt with in the past. Just for my peace of mind and attempts to teach them right from wrong.

Though I guess when a Mark Zuckerberg can be deified instead of vilified for ripping off and modifying the code he was paid to develop, the consequences for others to do the same go out the window.

I am a much happier person in my own personal fortress of solitude, thank you very much.

PS nice boat

Quote from 2rosy:

you use the API when programming. can you show code to get nymex ng options?

NG has two trading classes: LNE and ON. The API also wants the multiplier.

You need to use both the multiplier and the local symbol when subscribing to market data, you get these from reqContractDetails.

Assuming you wanted prices on the 6.6 July calls, use the following

symbol = '' # empty string
secType = 'FOP'
exchange = 'NYMEX'
currency = 'USD'
expiry = '20120726'
strike = 6.6
multiplier = 10000
localSymbol = 'LNEQ2 C6600'
right = 'C' # call

Skip multiplier, localSymbol and any of expiry, strike and right when requesting contract details.

Works for me!

 

[Joel Reymont]

LNE is for European exercise style and ON is for American.

OK, i want to get nymex ng option prices using the interactivebrokers api. I always get contract is ambiguous. Howver, I can get CL options using the same code.

Satisfied?

In fact, I would be willing to talk to any programmers/quants in the NYC area only that would be interested in this arrangement. Could also double as an internship with school credit.

Bump this offer... Looking for someone for fall term. If you're reading this here on Friday nite..... I want you!

Buddy .. I thought you're a bit too sophisticated for IB's execution latency
