    Yet another newbie data request ;-)

    Hi, I am on linux so I can't use the app, but I managed to work out how to the same data using URLS that the app uses; http://www.google.co.uk/finance/getprices?q=.NSEI&x=NSE&i=60&p=3d&f=d,o,h,l,c,v&df=cpct&auto=1 so that is a really cool little app. Thanks, T

    Yet another newbie data request ;-)

    Hi all, So I have my strategy running nicely against historical data, and I would like to test it against some live data. I would like to be able to access a OHLC data feed with 1 minute periods, with volume data - obviously for the previous 1 minute for a couple of symbols on NYSE and LSE...

    Political Betting Journal

    Hehe, according to the Appendix B of the parliamentary elections doc, you might just be able to squeeze a June election.... Its 15 days from the royal proclamation to the first day when the voting opens... not including sat and sunday. If all goes well/badly on Thursday, the government could...

    Trading the news

    Well, with my IT hat on... RSS works over http, and http is a client server model, where the client connects to the server and requests ("pulls") data. Its possible to emulate server push models with AJAX over http, but as far as I am aware there are no AJAXified RSS implementations. Email...

    "structural bull market"

    Best software to use

    The other important issue that I am working on, is how fresh is this news. For example, I don't really care about the "market summary" or "daily FTSE roundups", because by the time Mr BBC reporter posts the article, Barclays has already put on 10% due to their filing at 7.07AM GMT. I'm sure...

    Best software to use

    Hi, I'm pretty new as well, so I apologise if I am missing a point here... (I trade with igmarkets on their CFDs platform, and they provide live streaming prices into their web and L2 dealing platform - which I think is free assuming you have an account that you actually deal/keep funded. I...

Tier 1 capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia According to the article the regulator makes the calls, but I couldn't find any actual data on the FSA site. I also had a look at the BIS but also...

    Trading the news

    Actually, something occurred to me... Do any of the dealer platform provide real time NEWS updates from reuters, AFX, RNS etc? igmarkets seem to have a news section, but it looks pretty rubbish Thanks, Tom

    Trading the news

    well this is annoying, these guys have almost exactly what I need; Stock market news: RNS, PR NewsWire, Hugin, Business Wire but the RSS feed link is broken/or hanging at the moment- http://172.30.3.26/xml/page-rss.xml?in_page_id=53636 though it is 15 minutes delayed, its good for what I am...

    Trading the news

    for that sort of cash, I could hire someone to read and tag the articles with ticker, and an indication of the sentiment towards the target - well getting towards that amount anyway. Tom

    Trading the news

    Well it depends on whether I have to do much work to integrate it. The lse site has a page that seems to show regulatory announcements and the AFX feed, but I can't see a RSS link, and I'm not sure of they are real time/or what the time delay is. this feed would be good, because I can just...

    Trading the news

    yeah, I use that all the time when working on a trade that is announcement based. Though I am looking for newsfeeds that text/html/RSS based so I can use them to generate signals. Tom
