    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Wow, I've been called some bad things before, but THAT takes the cake! :) Alright, point taken. Caio [/drama] [/entertainment value] [/thread]

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    I hope that doesn't mean that you think I was actually trying to steal his ...what is it up to now, 28 gig?... of code and reverse engineer it. That's all I am trying to clear up here. Does anybody really believe Jerry's accusation that I was trying to steal his code? If not, this thread...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Just for the record, the offer I foolishly made on that other thread is officially OFF THE TABLE. Please do not contact me with any scripts or any other trading strategies. I'm just trying to mitigate the damage already done.

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Okay, maybe he doesn't talk such a good game. My bad! He offered to work up a model for us with no obligation and at no cost to us. I thought, what the heck, what's there to lose? Little did I know...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Yep, you found it. It was my last ditch effort to breathe some life back into our trading application that had been gathering dust. I admit that it was poor judgment on my part. I just never thought that it might jeapordize my company. It wasn't until near the end that I suspected that Jerry...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Excellent question! Poor judgment on my part. However, I didn't know the chances were nil at the beginning. Jerry talks a good game, up until the point where he becomes condescending and follows it up by asking for "significant upfront money". That's where I had to laugh at myself for being...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Unbelievable! What?! I'm stunned! Let's do a reality check here. A couple of posters can see who the real BS artist is... If Jerry really did have something that could return these kinds of results, why would he be trolling around here looking for "clients"? Why go through all of that...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Ugh, if I may offer you one word of advice. One of the main reasons we passed on your services was your constant stream of condescending emails. This and your inability to answer a direct question made it extremely difficult for us to work with you. We aren't looking to drum up any business...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Well, I had searched for "encrypted", so actually my story remains the same. However, I did just read that email. Like I said, I stopped reading that paragraph (my eyes were tearing over from laughing), so I didn't see a few lines further down where you said "I'd estimate your up front cost...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Ah, you know what the problem was? When I got to the point of "...significant up front expenses that I'd require from you in advance..." I stopped reading since I figured you were just trying to scam us. My boss had been after me to cut you loose long before I actually did. That was the last...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Who died and made you Judge Judy. :) I'm not sure what you are ruling on or, quite frankly, what you are talking about. Are you under the impression that we were trying to sell something? Jerry offered to help us out, but ended up just wasting a bunch of our time and then accusing us of...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    We are actually using a 3rd party scripting tool called TradeScript This is true for Jerry also, he could have provided us with something like that. When we brought up that possibility, he started this thread basically stating that we were trying to "steal" his code. Our simulated mode...

    A cautionary tale for system developers

    Here is what really happened. Jerry is walking down the road toward a defamation of character lawsuit. We have a legitimate company that is not in the business of trading. We never would have gotten involved with the likes of Jerry if we thought he might try to damage our good name. We...

    Kevin, I think you have the spelling wrong. It is Gene Simmons. He was with KISS and, more recently, on the Celebrity Apprentice. crisis

    Automated execution

    Jerry, Our application can call external applications. In fact, that is how it is working right now. We are using TradeScript from Modulus. Basically, we feed it bar data (open, high,low,close,volume) and it evaluates a script and will fire an alert event if a buy is warranted on that bar...
