The reason its not so popular? IMHO because we live in a society that favors 1sec landing pages, customized per individual options, complexity that rivals air skyscrapers and shrinked wrapped ready-to-go solutions. This is not LUA. LUA is j

borring? really. if your doing middle/back office yeah but front office work is anything but borring. infact out of the 20 years of coding, nothing compares to finance in the interesting/dynamic environment category.

a very one sided article there and fails to mention the algos used by your broker to minimize information leakage of your trades... if their large enough. what gets me is the amount of money HFT market makes make off your trade is tiny co
