[Ffts-develop] Hi ... Lot sizes

[Paul G. <gr...@me...>]

Hi Mark,
I can't believe an EQD system open source ... anyway it's a great effort, I
had to make some changes to remove the ^M and replace them with 013's in one
of the web grabber files ... (I'll send more info later on) ... Anyhow it
built although I've had a few problems downloading the stock price data to
test it out.

We are a small development company and have built a website for Hong Kong
(www.quotehk.com user:demo pass:demo) It's not really live yet and certainly
doesn't have live prices. We are developing some EQD stuff for it, we are a
bit late to use FFTS underneath it all, but perhaps can use some or all of
the FFTS stuff in the future.

We came upon a bit of a problem with the FFTS when we tried to set it up for
HK Stock options and Warrants ( the warrants here are mostly issued by third
parties and are basically options with funny expiries ). We need to modify
FFTS to allow different lot sizes, i.e. the lot size of the stock varies in
HK, and the number of stocks per option contract is the lot size, it can
vary from 400 to 2000 shares per contract. Do you think this would be an
easy mod to make, and do you have any pointers for me as to what would need
to be modified. I did do some searching although not extensively so I'm
being a bit lazy in asking for this!

All the best
Paul
