<t>Dear all,I have a VBA question.We know that if we have a function:public function FF1() as double....We can call it by doing application.call("FF1").However, if I have a sub or a function GG2() that is a member of a class called MyClass, how do I proceed with application.call?In other words, I am...

Thank you very much!

<t>Dear all,Suppose I have a R script stored somewhere on my hard drive. Is there a way to run it from VBA and continue to the next lines after the script is finished running. There is no communication necessary between VBA and R script except for that I want VBA to continue after R is done. Thank y...

<t>Hey guys,I am interested in testing some option trading ideas of my own. Could you tell me what's the best place to find/buy option price data? I would like to have historical end of day data to begin with because I don't have a lot of money to spend. Any type of option is good, equity, commodity...

<t>Consider all the integers generated by reordering the 9 digit number 123456789. Let's denote this set by S. Clearly, |S| = 9!.So, there must exist k in {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} such that S_k = { x in S such that x mod 7 = k } has more than 9!/7 elements. In other words, |S_k| = 9!/7 > 50000.All the ...

<t>Thank all of you for sharing your insight.I plan to leave but think it is def worth speaking with my boss to try to save it. But chances are, because I am not experienced with this kinda negotiation, my tone could be too soft (he would just make a joke and bounce me back) or too strong (which is ...

<t>Thx for sharing your opinion.So I guess it could be a good strategy to stay until the beginning of the next year and start looking again?How should I express myself when asked for switching back and forth? On one hand, having to do too much IT stuff is the main reason I want to leave. On the othe...

<t>Yes yuryr, I agree. That's why I am feeling a lot of pressure on my shoulders. Right now although my title is not IT, to be honest, the main experience I gain everyday is with IT. That's why I am thinking of finding another job.QuoteOriginally posted by: yuryrIt seems to be common tactics for hir...

<t>I am thinking of looking for my 4th job in 4 years. Am I jumping around too much?Here is what happened: I was quite happy with my 1st job as a front desk quant in a decent firm. But after working there for 1 year and half, because of the recession, I was laid off (despite of receiving very good p...

<t>Recently I have been working on an optimization problem which in essence is to find the minimal value ofF(x) = f(x) + max(g_1(x), g_2(x), g_3(x), ...g_n(x))under the constraints thatx >= 0,Ax <= b,where x, b vector, A matrix. f, g_1 ..., g_n are linear functions.In other words, this is a classic ...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: billyroseso why are engineers / scientists underpaid???I am Chinese and I feel like what ever we do will be underpaid. We conquered C++, JAVA, HTML, quant etc.English is hard for us but we will make to it one day. When we succeed, lawyers and Hollywood screenwriters wil...

shinichivn's method is cool. Say M_k is the k-th biggest value of X_1, X_2 ...X_n. One can use shinichivn's method to calculate E(M_k) easily!

Let a = .101001000100001000001000000100..............................Clearly, {Na} (the decimal part of Na) for N = 1,2,3,4... is dense in [0,1]. Hence, a is irrational.

<t>I started seriously looking for a full time job since mid-December and now I finally got placed. It's exhausting. My background is OK I think. I went through a lot of interviews and some of them were quite ridiculous. Except for the hedge fund who finally hired me, I had 8 interviews with 4 major...
