For example, I need to automate consumption of information on pages such as

I've seen a lot of job advertisements (contracts) quoting extremely high daily rates. I don't think I will ever earn anything even close to it without some experience in banking.
Besides, banking looks like a good challenge with high-availability systems and big money floating around. As a bonus, I would probably know more about how to ...

I need a very accurate calculator formula. Right now my formula works for monthly contributions with monthly compounding, but when you use weekly contributions with monthly compounding, I don't know how to adjust the formula. You can see my calculator in action by downloading and unzipping the attached files.
So far, this is the most a...
I'm trying to make a stock market simulator (perhaps eventually growing into a predicting AI), but I'm having trouble finding data to use. I'm looking for a (hopefully free) source of historical stock market data.
Ideally, it would be a very fine-grained (second or minute interval) data set with price and volume of every symbol on NASD...
I want to create a website similar to Yahoo finance, but much less complex for an independent study.
I will be using Java to do this and would like to get stock quotes through a web service as part of the learning experience.
It needs to be free or low cost and ideally would be real-time although do to licensing that probably won’t hap...
Is there a high profile open source project in the finance industry - specifically the investment banking area - that I could contribute to (ideally .NET)? I'd like to beef up my resume in this field.
I would prefer something in the algorithmic trading field, but am open to any route (e.g. front-office applications, etc).

Hi,
I am looking for a function in Numpy or Scipy (or any rigorous Python library) that will give me the cumulative normal distribution function in Python. This is for Black Scholes option pricing. I can program it myself but it is a (decent) approximation and I'd like to test if there's something (even) better as as I still get a few d...

Hi,
As far as I can see, there are no developer-API services for stock-price information with the following stipulations:
Free or low-monthly cost (
Ability to ship code which uses the service to multiple parties (e.g. an iPhone app)
No per-transaction/lookup cost
No limit on number of lookups or transactions
So I find that I am for...
hi,
I'm currently working on a financial alerts application , and for the client interface I've decided to use JFreeChart. However as I'm new to it ,there are some important things that I can't figure about the ohlc charts :
-I'd like to be able to put in a chart only a limited number of bars (let's say 300) and after this number is re...
Is there any sort of API that just offers a simple symbol lookup service? i.e., input a company name and it will tell you the ticker symbol? I've tried just screen-scraping Google Finance, but after a little while it rate limits you and you have to enter a CAPTCHA. I'm trying to batch-lookup about 2000 ticker symbols. Any ideas?

Any idea of FIX protocol ?
Thanks

Are there any good, free (or cheap) sources to get information about a company's financials that I can access via an API or XML feed or anything besides screen-scraping? Specifically I'm looking for things like total assets, liabilities, revenue, etc.

I'm working on a few report output scripts that need to do some rudimentary calculations on some money values.
I am aware of the limitations of floating point arithmetic for this purpose, however the input values are all in a decimal format, so if I use the arithmetic operators on them PHP will cast them to floats.
So what is the best ...
I have a friend who’s blind that does some stock trading. Unfortunately all the technical indicators such as moving average, resistance, and support levels are shown in charts on the major discount brokerage sites as well as most other stock sites. It’s possible to find this information in text form online but as far as I can tell there’...
Hello,
I am planning create a site that lets users in finance visualize the price of a foreign exchange option in 3d. x = price of underlying, y = price of option, z = days left to maturity. In other words, rather than a simple option payout diagram, this would allow you, on the Z axis, to view what the P&L scenarios would be if you sol...
