I'm just starting out with CQG's API but notice they don't have a developer forum. Is Wilmott the next best thing?

could someone explain how delta hedging works perhaps with an example?

I'd like to learn more about managing an options portfolio, residual exposure and specifically automatically hedging (using programming) residual delta exposure.Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?

.. for what its worth, the fact that I've referred to:component1.task1in the code when the component isn't installed, generates a "Type 'component1.task1' is not defined.I thought something like the following may have been available:if component1 defined thencomponent1.task1end if

HiIs it possible to write code in VB2005 that uses a 3rd party component if installed and doesn't use it if its not?if I use something like:component1.task1it will work fine if the component is installed and registered but if it isn't then obvioulsy I'll get an error message.Thanks

problem solved.when debugging C++ ActiveX with VB2005 container, set debug type in ActiveX project to Native Only.

<t>I suspect there's not a lot of interest in this but here's my update anyway ...I ran the ActiveX Control Test Container "tstcon32.exe" containing my ActiveX and managed to successfully hit my breakpoints in the C++ ActiveX code using both "Attach to Process" and Property Pages Debug Command.I ran...

I've abandoned the ActiveX debug, nothing works.I've tried inserting TRACE("%f\n", mydate);in the C++ code, hoping to get something out of the IDE debug output window at run time, but again nothing.does anyone have any experience with this? and perhaps reasons why I can get any output?Thanks

<r>sorry, no.it appears that debugging activex is not as easy as Microsoft describe it:<URL url="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w54zfak1%28VS.80%29.aspxI%27ve"><LINK_TEXT text="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... ).aspxI've">http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w54zfak1(VS.80)....

okay, yes, found "attach process" but no luck.if I run the exe and then in my activex project "attach process" (the exe), my breakpoints are still not hit in the activex project.get "This breakpoint will currently not be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this project"

<r>sorry, unable to find "attach process" - is this what I'm missing? could you tell me where "attach process" is in VS2005 (ActiveX project C++). only have Command property in debug (property pages).but no mention of this in <URL url="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w54zfak1%28VS.80%29.asp...

<t>thanks.I'm using VS2005 and apparently, in the activex property pages, you need to set the command to what ever exe is using the activex.I'm in debug mode and have rebuilt the ocx and the PDB timestamp is the same as ocx.I'm trying the step through the activex code the same way as I would step th...
