I would rather use some form of Db access class like ADO.Net than write tons of functiosn to manipulate flat files. ACK! That woudl mean you...
So, I guess a backtester written in C++/Java/C# to read flat files that contains minutely or tick data is the fastest? Hmm.. But I suppose...
so, what is the best way to store, retrieve high frequency minute or tick data for backtesting and doing analytics on it? through a flat file...
bobcathy1, that's probably a wise choice! No regrets! I've given up daytrading as well. It was one crazy ride! Though I'm still doing it...
since1997, I don't get. If they are "hardcore scalpers" why would they get in 102 and get OUT at 98,98???!! That's more like an intraday swing...
Right. Futures and FX are not for the faint-hearted or the seriously undercapitalized! But those are the very people that are attracted to futures...
nononsense, thanks for the compliments. However, I like to add that in NO WAY do I say that $5K is sufficent for you to make a living or get...
siwash, Yeah, $5K trading futures in IB is "enough". But ONLY IF you know what you are doing in futures. If you don't , then you can blow out...

I'm not sure having a hard science/math background was WHY LTCM blew up. They blew up because of HUMAN ARROGANCE and HUBRIS. Has little to do...
You are totally INCORRECT! The first waves of quants in the early 90s to mid 90s were phds in physics hired "right out of particle accelerator"...
Not to discourage you or anything, but good luck!! These types of jobs I see posted all the time. They are notoriously difficult if not impossible...
Ironically, 2004 I did better than 2003. Maybe cuz I've grown tremendously as a trader. And 2004 is more of a daytrader market. Lots of intraday...
