Hi All,

I am evaluating the personal 32 bit version of KDB. I would like to
evaluate KDB+ for a hypothetical algorithmic trading application where
in i am feeding in values into a StockTick table ( StockTick:( Symb:
();Price:()) ). I am however not able to find any documentation
describing how i can write a simple rule (if Symb = `MyStock and Price
< 50.00) to trigger an action (insert a record into the trades table
indicating that i have bought the Stock for the particular price).

I decided to evaluate KDB+ because i hear that it is tailor made for
algorithmic trading kind of applications, however i dont find any
features that would allow me to do the above. I guess i am falling
short of documentation.

anyone know how i can get around this? pointers to additional reading
material apart from the Q for mortals would be deeply appreciated.


-Siddharth

PS: since i am running a evaluation i dont have access to “tick”
