Software For Algorithmic Trading Of Equities:

tsinvestdb [-v] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

Tsinvestdb.c is a C source code template for programs that manipulate the tsinvest(1) time series database(s). It contains the hash algorithm look up tables for expedient development of specialized database systems.

The time series database file structure is a text file consisting of records, in temporal order, one record per time series sample of each equity. Blank records are ignored, and comment records are signified by a '#' character as the first non white space character in the record. Each data record represents an equity transaction, consisting of a minium of three fields, separated by white space. The fields are ordered by time stamp, equity ticker identifier, and closing price, for example:

  1      ABC     333.6
  2      DEF     7.2
  3      GHI     335.9
