Where is AMT? We did not agree on certain things in the past, but I respect him and I hope that he is doing well and will be back soon. He is a good guy! I am not being sarcastic. Lookforward to seeing him back! Best regards to all of you guys!
OH,that's it,i'm all for different view points,but what the hell is wrong with tea drinkers!?! We built an empire on tea in the UK..:eek: And Ken,do you have an aversion to placing limit orders?
You're going off the deep end here, buddy, you crack me up! I personally like to drink my own Kool-Aid, it's usually heavy on Java, Matlab, but no C#!
As I have tried to explain multiple times to you and others, more than 50% of electronic futures (and nearly all institutional volume trade in platforms that run in a C#, C++ .NET framework backbone). You already know the implications of such better than me, who can't code my way out of a wet tea-paper bag in C#. Kool aid is OK, I guess, for research, but perhaps suboptimal for FIFO tickitis real auto-trading execution? JW
For real high-frequency trading, the language choice is just one component, not even the most important one. Network latency would have you host your apps at a data center 100 ft away from the CME servers. But if you're a maverick trader who calls those big swings right day in and day out (and we know how clear those signals get on a 30" LCD...) then forget all that, a clunky homegrown tool will do too. May the CDV be with you!
