I think you're mostly right. I don't have much defense against this other than just accounting for total disaster situations as part of some...
I think your post adds value to the thread, even if it is somewhat known. 2rosy had a good answer, but one thing about telecommute work is that...
I was chatting with a recruiter the other day, because they always call and ask if I'm interested in working for so and so. I usually say no, but...
I don't use bar-based systems for this reason, and instead construct a sense of value using bid/ask + trades instead. There's only one thing I...
Another few bugs I've done: - One API I used in the past would push the routes available for trading to the program dynamically. Only, there...
Yeah, agreed, but I can't exactly go looking into the plumbing of why my broker's order server took 3 seconds to report something. At best, on...
I'm imagining I'll get a lot of flames on this thread in advace, so I'll admit, my bug is stupid. I just think I underestimated how bad order...

I'm using automatedvps.com and found them to be very reliable. The only problem is that their support team takes a really long time to get back...
I guess it's sort of like bell bottoms and leg warmers. I guess I could get rich by creating my own exchange called RetroEx. Our company logo...
