Hi Everyone, Just wanted to check with everyone about something. I was signing up for an account with IG markets, and they asked all the usual questions when I signed up. After completing my application however I get an email asking me exactly how much I'm earning a year gross, along with the...

What is the name of your alternative bitcoin / cryptocurrency?

Thanks. I will look into it. What I have done was recreate a 'fake' data feed that feeds data to my program. I take historical data and pass it to the program which then recreates tick by tick market conditions. I won't go too far into it :P If you're stuck learning python, I would recommend...

Just the majors really. Spot Gold, Silver, and Crude would be nice too, but frankly I'm just looking for something to try out some algorithms on. Have you heard of anywhere that gives out any free feeds? Or even trials?

I look into it. Cheers!

I remember IB requires a significant minimum deposit just to get the account up and running, but they can provide good enough resolution it might be worth it. I've been working with python just to get my head around some of the stuff. It's incredibly easy interfacing with cryptocurrency exchange...

Hi, I'm looking for a data supplier that can provide a real time data feed thats python friendly. Anyone have any suggestions as to which one might be the quickest? I've have already been given a site that can be easily accessed via python for historical data, but i'm building some programs...

So i've done a couple of courses on computational finance, and i'm pretty familiar with python so I want to start applying some of what i've learned on actual real time data feeds rather than downloading and computing historical data (which I can only seem to find dailies for what i'm interested...

:clap:

Just so i understand correctly, your computers analyze the trades in reference to your companys situation before they are executed? If as you say trades will only be routed to a dealing desk should they breach specific price tolerances, is that not in essence dealer intervention? Ok a person is...

Thanks for your reply NVP, i did have a couple of questions though: What do you mean by risk off? Is this where people rush for safe assets to hold their cash? And even with the US in such turmoil, surely this wouldnt trigger such a large rise in the value of the dollar? Even if it is about the...

I was doing some reading on the current 'fiscal cliff' situation the US is in. And I started to try and put together major financial events to market shifts. So looking back to 2008 with the whole Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae incident where the market collapsed in the US, why is it that I see a...

A nice find man thank you

This may help you in your journey to grasp some fundamental analysis techniques: US GDP ---> Earnings ---> S%P500

No company will take starters. You must use your own money and prove you are consistently profitable in order to even be considered by a trading firm whatever it may be.
