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'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...

It needs to be free or low cost and ideally would be real-time although do to licensing that probably won’t hap...

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...

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? ...

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 ...

It’s possible to find this information in text form online but as far as I can tell there’...

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...
