I've decided to build a database tracking the credit card offers I get in the mail, and one confounding factor has been how to represent the offers. With minimum finance charges and variable rates and mimimum variable rates it gets a bit more complex than "10.99 percent". I've decided I need to construct a language to represent these thi...
This is intended as a question quite open to any suggestions, hints or pointers. I wish to start playing around with home brewed automated investment models, the beginnings of which I have concepts for. I'm familiar with a few frameworks/languages that I suspect might be able to help me in this. Suggestions regarding other languages than...

I am making a small app that plots financial price data and since the finance markets are closed on the weekends, I have no data for those days. By default the chart, found in the new WPF Toolkit, shows a large gap between Friday and following Monday and this behaviour is not acceptable. I am trying to figure out a way to "hide" the week...

I work for a boutique specialized in finance. We thought about designing a language to describe financial entities related to financial markets. This would be mainly used as some kind of scripting language to replace many process run in spreadsheets and VBA macros. It has to be simple and it has, in fact, to call various C++ and C# li...
Hello - I want to create a massive TimeSeries object which will hold 1000 different financial markets data series, each storing 1500 daily-data points. I'm quite new to the TimeSeries module and am a little confused as to how I would best go about it. So a few basic questions: 1) Should I use a huge numpy array of 1000x1500 and simply...
I am interested in Finance and Investment, but I think I will keep on the software developer track in the future several years.

I need to get the index of a exchange like NASDAQ rather than the price of a specific stock in that exchange. I suppose that Finance::Quote will come to the rescue , but after a quick go-through of the document, I find it the way one can use the module for query is like: %info = $q->fetch("australia","CML") which means both the ex...
Hi, For a learning exercise, i'm wanting to create candlestick (stock) graphs for stocks using zedgraph. Now on google finance, i can get daily open-high-low-close data which is perfect for making these graphs, but i'm wanting to create intra-day graphs, eg open-high-low-close data for an hour (or 5 mins, or 1 min even). Is there any w...
