comment Why C is still in use especially in area of numerical optimization (instead of C++)?
People voting for this obviously derive value. And why would it be too late to close it if the same question was asked already? Ironically if the question was about R or Matlab I do not think we would see above comments.

@pyCthon, that was not my point, the point was to show an example in where it makes sense to have C be the preferred language over C++ and to explain why it is that case. By the way, as you already touched on it, FPGAs might not but can be an excellent fit for solving optimization problems.

Same here, if you are looking for a single language that is most perused to disseminate APIs, on which other libraries rely, whose interfaces are accessed/invoked, then it is surly C++. Plus do not forget that by far the still most supported of all financial APIs in aggregate is the C++ one. I think that speaks for itself.

comment Applications of Fourier theory in trading
@Richard, the 2 papers by Pollock are for obvious reasons quite similar, I think the second one is more general while the first focuses more on circulant matrices. I included some stuff re hft but those are just findings I never read nor touched them.

@Richard, I updated my answer, still digging for some more academic treatise as I have not applied FFT to time series forecasting yet. (I am not a huge believer in applying any sort of bias on market patterns, hence my slight distaste for FFT as applied to forecasting prices).

you beat me to it, my reference relies on your cited paper.

comment Fastest news feed APIs targeting high frequency trading?
That is very helpful. Thank you. I generally never rely on hearsay so I may at some point report back after having signed up for trials with those and other vendors and have run extensive tests.
