Who do you use for execution? I wish I could use Interactive Brokers for server-side but, I think, that requires 100k and FIX connection.

What carrier offers free EU roaming?

3 (Hutchinson)

also free 4G with no data caps.. they might be slower than the others but they own their own cell towers and offer the best deals.

T-Mobile!

How does Quantopian connect to IB?

Doesn't IB require a local TWS connection as well as credentials, e.g. 2-factor authentication?

We run an IB gateway and in the Quantopian UI you enter your IB credentials - but we do not store your password. You then deploy your algo and see a dashboard with updates from the market.

This is very old but...

http://wagerlabs.com/blog/2006/01/01/haskell-vs-erlang-reloa...

This was a project for a client so that code is proprietary. I wrote the compiler in OCaml and generate Erlang code that targets my DynamoDB wrapper [1].

The benefit is automatically enforcing referential integrity, documenting the "schema" and eliminating a boatload of boilerplate.

Is there commercial potential here?

I already have triggers and could add "REST endpoints" with SQL code and callouts to external functions written in the code that the compiler targets.

Would this be something you would pay for, e.g. if I generated nodejs or some other code?

Do you have an email?

I have a 5 y.o. and wouldn't move from Tenerife (South). Private college costs ~400EUR/mo, health insurance is cheap and crime is super-low.

Oh, my kid speaks Russian and Spanish natively and they teach German and English in school. Will best me by 1 language when out of high school.

Nice to see people I know in this thread, Joel. We should meet in person at some point! ;)

I'm bound to hit the Cuban consulate at some point ;).

Mark the tax treaty checkbox on the W8BEN. This solves all issues, assuming that your company is established in a jurisdiction with a tax treaty.

Just mark the "tax treaty" checkbox and be done. Been doing it for over 10 years, including with my offshore company.

The offshore bit was pointed out to me recently and so I had to set up a proper European Union company in a hurry. Now all is well.
