There is not a hook-up in December, but people will be attending the CSTA Christmas party on December 19. You might want to check that out at www.csta.org January will be our next hook-up. Hope to see you there.
I will participate on the next meeting as well. Not trying to hijack this nice thread, I was wondering if you guys could let me know what you use for backfill of Canadian stocks... I've been using QT + IB Backfill but is erroneous and slow when dealing with many stocks... you can reply on this thread if you prefer: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111745
I just came upon this thread as well, and am thrilled to find a group that gets to-gether on a monthly basis. I'll watch for the January get to-gether, and will also attend the CSTA event. As a past member, I can vouch for the caliber of their presentations.
We meet on the forth thursday every month -- so technically this makes it Jan 24th --- A posting will be put up in the new year.
