As long as it passes the approval of my current employer – I will be speaking at CodeCamp NYC ‘07.  I will be speaking on scaling agile practices. It should pass corp approval, but since my day to day work is attached to this stuff – investment banks keen to monitor what people say in public.

Fun fun;

During an interview, a candidate brought up reactor/ proactor patterns – blast from the past.

Here is a good link to a list of Patterns for Concurrent, Parallel, and Distributed Systems.

Quant House acquires SmartQuant program trading technology

I have used SmartQuant for years. I started looking at while it was an open source C++ project many years ago now. SmartQuant is a .net based framework for developing automated trading systems. I own a license from a few years ago with a trader partner of mine (Rod – you are the man!). We actually had an option (expired useless as most do) to extend our license to be ‘available to commercially resell’ SmartQuant. We never got to all that – too many other things goin’ on.

The product has matured much over the past several years. I licensed it when the product was ’smartquant’. Since then – the product changed a bunch and became ‘quant developer’ I believe. I had used it in fits and starts for various auto-trading projects. At times – it was great and helpful, at times – a punishment – as all software is at times. It is a very well written bit of software I can say with certainty. I hope the best for all involved here.

The guys at QuantHouse have made a great play in my way of thinking. You can really write autotrading systems in C#, VB, C++ – any CLR compliant language. They provide a nice IDE – things like ‘meta-strategies’, some basic optimization options, some neural net ’stuff’ and a great general toolbox for developing, testing and running trading systems.

Best of luck guys!
