<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>It bulks up the database with 'less-than critical'
|
|
|
|
|
information.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
information. That's bad. We need an alternate storage
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Basically, transactions are either 'critical' vix
|
|
|
|
|
record the movement of money, or are non-critical viz
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Currently, the transactions stored in the engine
|
|
|
|
|
are either 'critical' <em>viz.</em>,
|
|
|
|
|
record the movement of money, or are non-critical <em>viz.</em>
|
|
|
|
|
record things retreivable from the historical record,
|
|
|
|
|
<em>e.g.</em> prices.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Shouldn't storage for prices be moved to somewhere
|
|
|
|
|
else?</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Hmmm ... what about storage for valatility, shares
|
|
|
|
|
traded, etc?</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Does indeed sound like an alternate storage method
|
|
|
|
|
would be useful.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>What about GUI implications?</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<em>e.g.</em> prices.
|
|
|
|
|
This alone is a good reason to ask that price & other
|
|
|
|
|
non-critical financial data be stored in a separate location.
|
|
|
|
|
Add to this the idea that we should probably store other
|
|
|
|
|
'technical' stock data, such as share volume, high/low/close,
|
|
|
|
|
daily volatility, etc.
