anyone got the commitment to shell out and check out vault.com?

<t>let's see, the grapevine has spoken of... hiring and firing but that's usual.I have had a first grape account of people not seeing their managers in months, not that they were graping. and i have seen a contract to work at C/W for a high sum go open for longer than i'd expect that sort of money l...

great place to learn the realities fast. if you are dedicated and 'get' what they need, it's definitely worth it.if you can take the pace, risks, consequences...

ish, you can DFT your way back to the next monitoring but on each monitoring you need to apply the trunctation again 'observe the barrier' then you can DFT again.so the factor 100 speed up only applies between monitorings. sorry.

Can you describe your preferred career path;Where you want to work? how much money you want to make?how much stress you want to take?what do you think you are good at?what tools do you want to use?

Including nice clean analytical solutions to some pricing problems.2) qualitatively similar to behaviour of actual price series3) better than any of the alternatives - the alternatives either don't r...

Want to describe what a negative volatility looks like, say in terms of a stock graph?I'm new at this game and can't imagine what it might be.

<t>excel and real time update require RTD (or worse)you can use an update button that uses ODBC against a stored procedure or vanilla SQL and does the rec.if you're not into ODBC, get a batch to run on NT or UNIX that writes a csv you can read and rec.but it's not going to be realtime. sorry. that's...

Nice solution (and not all that hard) build a little server, use RTD.else use a refresh button.

<t>wow, you have the pick of the bunch there. My concern about 'math' is solely as far as surviving the course. In practice few traders use much math day-to-day. You need the abstractions to understand the models and develop intuition. I'll go so far as to state in public that most of our traders th...

<t>LBS waste of air. Frankly, it's a core finance curriculum which means you spend your time studying waffle about ratios and accounting. Bor-ing! Sure it's a big name, in *corporate* finance. As an IT person, think carefully, do you want to be a CFO? If so, remortgage and got to LBS. Does it fit wi...

<t>Mr Stunt has some of the answer: scripting. Just need something a little stronger than scripting (or is python enough?). Some chap was calling VBA a "scripting excuse hidden behind a grid control" ('miserable' and expletives omitted).I could take the fifth "it is the responsiblity of management t...
