So, I put up a basic job description of what's needed online and the bids I'm receiving range from $10-20K and I imagine it would require/cost even more once all details are revealed as I had to keep it general. I don't think $25K would be an exaggeration. So, that's the monetary value of my...

Only you can answer that depending on what your strategy really is and what you would need to disclose to a programmer. It's possible you can have one programmer program one part and another program another part. If you use variables/parameters and have found a magical setting, it's possible...

Hello guys, I'm a long time user of IQ Feed using QCollector to download data locally, but I'm now interested in retrieving data directly through an API and ditch QCollector. While I'm happy with IQ Feed it seems like they require an annual license + documentation in order to use their API, so...

That's a great suggestion, @ondafringe. I can see that as a way to go if I wanted to keep things as secret as possible. However, due to the nature of this project it would definitely make things harder for me to put together. I'd definitely prefer if one programmer took on the whole job. Due...

Any sales by now?

Basically, he just makes them up or answers based on a "hunch" or "memory".

So, I haven't really decided on anything yet, although steps have been taken towards a collaboration drafting up legal documents. Essentially, we'll share equal rights to the final solution and it will remain in private use between the both of us. I'm considering my options though. Let's say I...

You don't know in great detail what I have, though, so I'll say your opinion isn't fully informed. But I understand your opinion coming from your perspective that markets can't be predicted and not believing in statistics to begin with. I've talked to the programmer about this in order to...

That's a different exchange, though. And does sound fair. What I have is already 'in use'. Every or most predictions I ever posted was in some way based on this system. It's a bit inefficient in terms of handling data/updating data and wouldn't hurt to have some new implementations. I'm not...

Carpenter, engineer and big time gambler in the financial markets. :) I've been a full time trader a few times, but currently not so.

An opinion could be considered an insult, though. If my opinion is that someone is fat I'm sure they'd be insulted if I said that to them. If your opinion is still that the programmer is working for free you're essentially saying that what I'm giving him is worth nothing. I think that could be...

Yes. I'm not sure I've read any books which had a good pace and kept things interesting from start to end at such a length. As it's a big book I had decided to give it only 50 pages and give up if it felt like a drag as I was going on Holiday and wanted to unwind, but I got sucked right in from...

Yes. To be clear - he will not be receiving any $$$ from me. His payment is that I share with him my current system/technology and years of research. In return, he will code the entire solution for the benefit of both of us. In monetary terms, I imagine the cost of this if I were to pay...

Thanks. Care to elaborate, though?

I was also approached by the professional developer (head of a software firm with expertise in ML) once again, but I think I'll decline that offer as they will want to use it commercially if they find it have value. I see the benefits in that the solution may be better and solved faster...

You're not ignorant, but maybe you didn't read the original post? What you're saying here would be my precise concerns with a collaboration and which is why I've been very skeptical. I'm also not sure how much these legal documents protect me, but I do know that without them I have zero rights...

For what it's worth I've decided to move foward with this. I've created a basic NDA to ensure confidentiality which will be signed electronically and proofed by a third party online. I will then demonstrate what I have in full and at which point the developer can choose to withdraw from a...

Not critical at all. And for a web-based solution, don't forget to factor in the annual expense of getting a domain name, and the monthly hosting fees, not only for hosting the domain, but for hosting the database, as well. Correct. Not sure what the cost is, though. The developer did mention...

How are things, @stochastix?

Private guy is younger, I suppose, but still around 10 years of professional experience. Institutional guy is an older guy running his own software firm.
