Resolver One and NinjaTrader integration

On my last post, it was commented that “If NinjaTrader could be used with Resolver One… now that would be awesome…”. I had never heard of Resolver One previously, so I took a quick look to see what it was. Resolver One is spreadsheet app that generates IronPython code, in real-time, from the [...]

StrategyDesk, QuoteTracker, NinjaTrader, and opentick

A week ago I took an interest in the technical analysis of stock price movement trends. On Wednesday I started thinking I should take the profits from the gold and uranium mining shares bought a few weeks earlier, but I did not and ended up losing a nice chunk of profit during the later [...]

Debugging - Komodo IDE vs WingIDE vs PyScripter

I just added the following update to the section titled “Komodo vs PyScripter vs WingIDE - Running and Debugging” of my recent post titled “Komodo Edit vs Komodo IDE vs WingIDE vs PyScripter”:
While debugging Komodo IDE does not show you the current value of any variable if you mouse hover over it. Both PyScripter and [...]

M2 planning complete, coding begins

Since my last update on the progress of developing my game, I flushed out the game mechanics details I needed to get further coding unblocked and took care of the remaining low hanging fruit in regards to refactoring the code implementing M1 hacked up game mechanics into code implementing the newly revamped game mechanics for [...]

On that same page that star at the end is specified as “* Note: NVIDIA will deploy PhysX on CUDA-enabled GPUs” and a google on “CUDA-enabled GPUs” reveals that these are the GeForce 8000 series cards [...]

Back to game mechanics, coding blocked

As stated here I’ve been working on refactoring my game code to bring it line with my newly revamped game mechanics.  The interface between the simulation and the results viewer has been refactored and a decent chunk of simulator code has also been refactored, but further progress there is dependent one aspect of the game [...]

Delegation not aggregation (or composition)

Just had a major mental block on the word delegation. While in software design and implementation the three (along with association) are very similar they aren’t precisely the same. More importantly searching on aggregation and composition wasn’t getting me the info I needed for what I was trying to do in Python, so [...]

PyScripter annoyances and general find & replace gripes

PyScripter
I had used PyScripter last year in the development of a Pylons web app and generally seemed to be up to the task; however, for my current work I’m running into to some issues I had not noticed previously:

Internal interpreter (bad) state - I can find no way to clear the state of the IDE’s [...]

Equivalent of “Effective Python” no where to be found

Maybe I just haven’t found the correct place to look, but I couldn’t find all of the info I was looking for on Python metaclasses all in one place. I ended up referencing:

the last chapter of the Python Cookbook
the wikipedia entry for Metaclasses
Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2
A Primer on Python Metaclass Programming
