What are you scraping these with? And are you finding that dog name alone is a reliable cross reference? Last question....are you applying the model live in your trading app or using a seperate pre-process to feed selectionid and target price to your trading app. Ie could it be executed with BA being fed by a csv/excel?

... One more... I don't think I ever asked what database you settled on. Access, SQL, MongoDB?

You know me Shaun, i've written some "code" !!
Dog name good yes, have to watch out for cases likes "reserves" changing the make up.
So "live" of sorts, at about 10mins out I query what I need, so in that sense absolutely you could feed this via a CSV Shared Stored Value input to a BA Rule set.
I ran the "model" bot live today, it made £7.45 :-)

JSON flat file API streams with marketbook Catalogue... I suspect I have a different "processing model" to you... I leverage bespoke Flumine strategies to pump out analysis I need.

You've started using "leverage" instead of "use" now too. What is it with people that make a few quid then start talking like Gordon Gecko. :).

I wouldn't bother, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

It's a classic! And unlike most movies it's not really a movie of its time, it's aged very well and is still relevant today.

The remake is crap but you can say that about 99.99% of remakes.

Yeah I agree. Whilst watching the film won’t necessarily make you a better trader, the first one is still worth watching.

Second one was awful though!

The problem with movies about a world you know is that they look so unrealistic but have to be to make a story. I was working with traders and trading systems from 1986, dark liquidity pool stuff in the 90s, HFT quants around the millennium, and a docu-movie about the people involved would be boring as fck :). I'm not a movie person anyway, I've probably only seen a dozen.
