I consider really important to me to leverage the knowledge of you, my audience!
Want a quant trader club via weekly GotoMeeting online and Meetup to discuss options, forex, futures and stock market trends?
I am testing the waters to see if there would be a demand for such a ‘service’. I would treat it the same as the tech Pow Wows I have been running for a few months now. Let me know via commenting on my blog or in social media.
I will post future events here http://www.meetup.com/quant-finance/

Promising but the question comes down to the Java 9 being promised. What you think?
Despite, what you think it just adds to the confusion. Check out my upcoming Meetup exactly for these topics:

Online Meetup LIVE event: Oh me oh my so programming languages for automated trading quant and potential HFT Which one?
There are so many programming languages but what ones should you focus on for what reason. I really want to investigate this with others online. I cover:
C++, .NET, C#, Java, Python, R, Matlab, Erlang, Scala, F#, Perl, and many more
This should also cover the experience with pros and cons of operating systems as well including Windows, Linux, or Mac OSX.
Date: Dec 8 at 7PM Eastern Standard Time
This will be delivered online via Goto Meeting. Also note as will there will no playback other than for Quant Elite members after this LIVE event.
