Here is an idea, one process justs collects data and places it in the
data base. gchartman updates once a min. I am not even sure if we need
IPC ( inter process communication ) if it just updates once a min.
Wasteful yes, but easy.

Yeah, it is a real popular/well known PC software. They are ( FreeMarket
) seem to be writing a clone of their backtesting language.

Most of the time, I write the first one to throw away. Not really to
throw away. Sometime you need to write something just to help you get
ideas on what you want to design. So I build, see what I like , and then
rebuild after I became more familiar with what I want. Still using most
of the code I wrote from the first one.

I am going on vaccation for a couple of weeks, so I will be on my laptop
instead of my development machine. I will be on email , but not
compiling, etc.
