Hello,
I have been hired by a client who is a trader and wants me to research the possibility of a global feed setup, such as the old BMI cable system.
He wants me to write a software program, where at a click of a button this program will look at all symbols in the American, NY and OTC markets in realtime, and display, for example, in descending order every stock that breaks a new high.
The problem is that the new 7.5 internet feed will only handle a
request for 200-1000 stocks at a time, but he wants every stock in these three markets.
The client does not think we need the 7.5 software but would rather use a custom version that I would create for him, that would talk to the data manager.
I do not understand integration with api and I don't know how
I would connect using active x.
What programming languages would be needed? I currently know C++, and some HTML.
I figured that I would connect directly with the data manager
through some type of parser. Could someone please help me?
Thanks,
Mark Thomas
