While it's certainly an interesting question, I presume you're posting it here to garner support for it being reopened (as far as the rules go, I agree with the closure, it's very open-ended). It might fit better on http://programmers.stackexchange.com http://programmers.stackexchange.com.
I know little about stock markets but I quite like the idea of spawning workers to monitor orders after being placed. These could then update a page live to the customer.
- brutuscat 14y agoHi there, I'm the SO owner of the question. It's Ok that the questions was closed I guess... But I couldn't find a way of make it more "to the point". But now that it's here it would be great to have some comments from HN though ;)
- aidos 14y agoI too think this is an interesting question and I'd love to hear how people would approach it. How long do the orders need to be monitored for? Indefinitely? If so, is it really feasible to keep them all running? How much data do they need to analyse / aggregate to make their decisions? Very interesting question.
- brutuscat 14y agoFor instance orders would be open from week into week if the user enables it (each week). In my case "decision making" is only based on some fixed price threshold in order to provide some risk management. So the amount of data to aggregate would be minimal. But the data to analyse came directly (as a huge stream) from the markets.
