So what's the verdict, Amanda?
Is it a thumb up or down?

 

[Dibbs]

I've been to the one in Toronto. It's "fun", but not very helpful if you are an advanced user. I also think that this is good for "prototyping" but the actual implementation isn't fast enough to satisfy algorithmic and HFT requirements.

 

[amanda.jayne]

Agree, and adding to what Dibbs said, it wasn't very helpful for a novice user either.

It was quite short and more of a showcase on what Matlab can do but enjoyable all the same.

The free breakfast and demo files provided after the seminar made it worthwhile
