The question I have for you is, why are you worrying about which container to use when you are using threads? Thread-to-thread communication...
Main thing is to keep the keys small and easy to compare. If you can fit them in 8 bytes each, you can store an array of key,pointer_to_value...
I have wondered this myself. I think it is very very unlikely, but possible. It seems that typically the underlying securities are held by a...
Theoretically yes you could register as a broker dealer, self clear and do your own executions. Practically you have to pay the clearing firm to...
Just wanted to add, even if you are a member firm it is very unlikely (i.e. I have not heard of such a thing but it's not impossible) that the...

Hi, Not around much anymore and was kind of disappointed earlier by the quality of discussion so I don't really want to continue the thread. But...
Whoa there, I don't despise outspoken people. In fact I have high respect for you. I just think it is silly to argue on forums.

What diatribes are you referring to?
This thread is incredible. There are clearly very smart / informed people on all sides of this argument, although in my book their intelligence is...
Whoa there. TWS is written in Java which is platform independent. You need Java runtime, which if you're on debian / ubuntu can be gotten with...
Luckily in finance they used fixed point (dollars, cents and bps), so you can map the numbers used directly to integers. In fact, a lot of...
If you're interested in using Java, there is jsoup for general HTML scraping. In terms of Yahoo Finance, I know of...
