If everyone is selling, then it seems that the price should go down. As in the case of many of these financials -- the price did go down, as it...
That brings up an interesting point -- one might consider what trading platform you're going to use BEFORE deciding what language to use. Once...
Thanks for the link. The ban did seem to affect markets, in one way that's not discussed in that article: bid/ask spreads skyrocketed, making...
I'm more inclined to give that title to Jack Treynor, who (along with several other quantitative finance pioneers) significantly predates Derman....
Heh! Good one. Not always true, but often enough, especially when it comes to investing manias.
I think (equity) options are much worse than equities for blowing inexperienced people out quickly. The reason is leverage, combined with many...

I think it depends on the compiler/vm you use, etc., doesn't it? You can use gcj to compile Java into a (likely far faster) binary; no idea...
For a grade or two (and cost) below the options WallstYouth suggests, you could use Genesis. Or Lime or Lightspeed or IB, but keep in mind that...
I've had this happen before -- the broker eventually charged me some approximation of the difference -- might have been more, might have been...

Generally, my impression is that rates at the "big volume" shops are a function of monthly volume, irrespective of whether or not you use an API....
Shreddog gives some great advice! I'll add that I too have successfully used the Sterling API, and it is a serious undertaking, even for those...
