TT Mobile available in Google Play
TT Mobile is now available for everyone to download from Google Play. It looks awesome! Great job, team! This version also added support for trading strategies written in TT SDK running on my AlgoSE server. Below is a screenshot showing child orders of SSE’s Time Sliced order. TT’s next generation Synthetic Strategy Engine (SSE) runs on top of TT SDK and AlgoSE server. SSE strategies are written by my good friend William Baker.

FICO Score 9: The New FICO
Recently, in no small part because of the National Association of REALTORS® and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, FICO announced big changes to their credit scoring model. While it remains to be seen how much of a quantitative impact the new FICO 9 formula will have, many segments of the population could see increased scores. Those who stand to benefit the most include people with medical collection accounts, repaid collections and young people with “thin files.”

TT Mobile in Google Play
Today marks an important milestone. TT’s next-generation mobile trading app for Android has been deployed to Google Play Store. It’s still in pre-release and available only to beta testers, but we are getting closer every day. It’s very stable and usable. The overall look has deviated slightly from my original design, but I like it better this way. It’s a little bit more intuitive. Below are the main functions of the app so far.

Amazing ingenuity
I was going to lunch the other day and spotted a Filipino family using this contraption. An arm with a specialized handle holding an iPhone for group selfies. Kudos to the amazing human ingenuity 🙂

Solution to MacBook storage problems
At Trading Technologies we recently switched to laptop-centric culture. Our desktops got lugged away and everyone can choose what kind of laptop they would like to have. I was one of the pilot MacBook Pro users and I got mine over 18 months ago. It took me a while to get used to it, but it completely changed the way I work. It’s so easy to just grab a laptop and crash a meeting room with two other devs. This makes communication so much easier. Not to mention I can now work on the train. Every company should consider this!

8 years at Trading Technologies
I just noticed it has been a whole 8 years since I started working for Trading Technologies. I was hired fresh out of college and began my journey on May 15, 2006 (well, I did some consulting on the side before coming to ChiTown).

Great mobile resource
My friend just showed me a pretty awesome component which keeps track of you mobile app crashes. It looks way better than ACRA and was recently acquired by Twitter.
Give it a shot!

SafeBuffer and UnmanagedMemoryStream
At work I have a situation where I have some binary data allocated in the native code. It’s pretty much a raw
char*. I then would like to access that same information from the managed side. But how? Of course I can just copy the data to abyte[]but that’s just wasteful.

Makes perfect sense!

HID Card and Android phone
At my workplace we use HID ProxCard II cards to enter the building and to open individual doors. Everybody has a card with their picture printed on it. The problem is that I keep forgetting mine, plus I’ve had it for such a long time that the card started to disintegrate and it looks rather nasty.
