    FX Options Data. Where can I get it from?

    Can FPGA be the future of HFT?

    Just a quick thought here: FPGA's, co-processors and other hardware accelerators will make sense for applications where you have a relatively fixed set of calculations that need to be done very quickly, repetitively and with low latency. I am thinking of things like pricing an option based on...

    Creating my own algorithm

    Hi There is a lot that goes in to a trading algorithm - much more than just getting a hold of some prices and making a buy/sell decision. To do even something simple, you will definitely need to learn some programming. If you are interested in being able to back-test strategies right away, I...

    XML format for Market Data

    By "Market Data" do you mean quote and trade data or something that updates less frequently such as end of day pricing, balance sheet data, etc. FIXML is another alternative you might consider: http://www.fixtradingcommunity.org/pg/file/fplpo/read/30011/fixml-44-schema-specification-revision-1

    Intro to MS Visual Studio

    Here is another tip. Many Universities subscribe to the "Books24x7" service. This service has tons of technology books on all sorts of database, programming language and other topics. The user-interface is a little clunky but if you are patient you can check out a ton of materials. I believe...

    Nasdaq TotalView ITCH data feed?

    Hi Are you at Baruch College? If so we subscribe to the raw ITCH feed and have a few year's of data we can work with. If not, you might try EssezRadez (also known as Trading Physics). Art has most of the major depth of market equity feeds. Let me know if you have questions. Cheers, Rich H.

    Folks This is probably very basic for this crowd but there may be some folks who have never worked with Microsoft Visual Studio previously. Here are some thoughts on a tutorial I have been revising: Getting Started with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 using C++...

    Free historical intraday stock data?

    Hi - not to be picky here but just to clarify. The Wharton Research Database Service (WRDS) provides "access" to a bunch of different data sources. Two basics ways of working with WRDS are the web query interface and (for faculty and usually PhD students) unix/linux access via SAS programming...

    .NET HFT systems

    I did not see anyone talk about the operating system. if we assume .NET == WindowsOS and C/C++ == Unix/Linux Or C/C++ == WindowsOS then we have many more things to compare. What about network stack latency on Windows vs. Solaris vs. Linux? What about bypassing the OS all together an running the...
