Just in case any of you haven't seen it already, here is 2012 analysis from Nanex that analyzes the costs of subpenny queue jumping on the part of...
Interestingly, the "Psychopath Test" linked to earlier: http://psychcentral.com/cgi-bin/psychopathy-quiz.cgi contains the following at the end:
Apparently someone has written a Java wrapper for Nanex/NxCore; see the following link (you probably need to register to see it); I won't comment...
You may be able to put in a "midpoint" order on some exchanges and receive a fill at a half-penny increment; for example, IEX executes many of its...
You're correct insofar as this was the intention of the first hedge fund, in fact called a "Hedged Fund", in 1949. That said, clearly...
I don't think it's that simple. First of all, a lot of the top-quality mid-to-small-cap companies are getting bought out. There have been plenty...
I have seen these types of errors not only in Yahoo, but also part of paid data services of many types. I have never used a corporate actions...
"Novices" and "hobbyists" aren't necessarily the same thing. For example, Renaissance Technologies is the most successful hedge fund of the past...

If it's in your budget and you're interested in a purely API-based solution, I'd recommend checking into NxCore. NxCore sends a full feed for any...

Not necessarily true -- by using entities and a management fee, you can have earned income, as well as numerous other advantages such as...
In my experience, the $110.00 Fractal Design R5 stays absolutely silent with a top-end Noctua cooler while running only SSD's (although some hard...
If a debatable "best" for you is worth the extra $, lowered battery life, and jet-engine-class fan noise, then all the power to you. But in my...
If you're speaking of some GUI platform that Nasdaq offers, I think we're comparing apples to oranges. When you speak of "algorithmic trading", I...
At some point you might want to consider a third-party, tick-level data source, such as NxCore (which runs well under wine), as the broker data...
Interesting point, Butterball. Looks like the original "$1 billion" claim was bogus anyway:...
The economy is clearly on the cooler side, but the dramatic drop in BDI seems far more about the oversupply of ships, built on cheap debt, than...
What rmorse wrote looks fine to me; but I'd like to add that the OCC stuff is generally posted far in advance of corporate actions (when they're...
