I wouldn't say they're pushing it. It's just their particular preference for solving it, I think. It might also be that it's trendy as @Millionaire suggests. Keep in mind that this is a complete re-build - only keeping the logic/calculations/framework in what I already have. But yeah. I think...

Care to elaborate...? :)

Right. I think I understand. I think I still favor a desktop solution, though. The head of the software/developer firm said it was convenient that I didn't have to run directly from my computer since there are many parts involved (DB, etc.) and also the convenience of being able to access it...

I'd say access anywhere is a premium feature I don't really need and would personally prefer a desktop solution, but both developers, particularly the private one preferred a web solution for other reasons beyond mere access. I want to make sure I have a program/solution that can run locally...

Quick comment/question: Both developers suggest a web based solution/application for this and have a good idea for how to solve it. While I can see the advantages with this approach it seems like a potential disadvantage for me further down the road if the collaboration should go sour. Even...

For sure. For what it's worth this is exactly what this guy was offering to help me out with, i.e., making sure the other developer was properly qualified and had good ideas for solving it. But when he learned more about the system he offered to do it himself through his firm as he too believes...

I'm just going with the estimated quote I was given by a prior programmer. Let's say 200 hours, then. What would you say is a more correct estimae for a developer? Did you mean the rate was too high or too low? The other programmer I talked to earlier today (head of a professional firm)...

Yes. I'm thinking that's the best solution in order to avoid any conflict of interest and make sure I retain as much control as possible. Something to that effect, I suppose, although I wouldn't exactly call it an algorithm in the way most people think when the term "algo" is used. Best regards.

Good morning, SML, I think I agree. I'm leaning towards actually doing it now (see post #86), but I will not rush it, so will spend some time thinking on it. There's been some development today as there's now another extremely interesting prospect that showed up. This is however a professional...

I'm seriously considering it now - to the point where I'm actually leaning towards doing it. Then I'll do some more thinking and start thinking it's a bad idea... The only other serious option to me seems to be hiring a programmer to do it for me on a contract basis. And preferrably...

If I were to sum up the answers in this thread so far: a) You'd be crazy to do this. Learn to code yourself or hire a programmer at some point. b) Collaboration is the way to go (seems like only a minority of ET supports this one). c) You're an idiot and don't even have a system. Or what you...

If we proceed with this we both agreed to sign a NDA-contract to secure confidentiality and that the program is only meant for private use by each of us and not commercially in any way unless agreed upon later. The guy is a stranger, but not a complete stranger. I have a good impression of him...

Thank you for your suggestion. I think what you're suggesting here would be viable if I were hiring a programmer on a contract basis. However, since this is a collaboration the very nature of that deal means that I'll share pretty much everything. That's the source-code and logic of the system...

Well, I don't agree with that, although I generally look at the most recent data which I agree is most important for sure. I do like to have a good historical database for reference. Particularly since I also look at weekly and monthly data. A 3 year period may contain only a certain set of...

No, you're not crazy and it is a controversial matter where people usually are in disagreement. Let's be clear, though. If you want to make a prediction, you need to base it on data. Looking at a chart and saying "This looks bullish" is not a prediction. A lot of the time when people express...

I don't. :) Time comes at a premium these days. If my life situation was different, I'd probably put everything else on hold and go all in to learn to code, but I have a hunch I won't get anywhere fast with the current time available. There's an alternative cost for sure. I've done some basic...

If it was only coding an indicator in NT8 I would definitely be able to handle it myself with some work, but I have a hunch it will take me a long time in order to code something similar on my own. The alternative is of course that I take time off from everything else to learn to code. And maybe...

In that case - I'd rather just have someone on UpWork do it for me for a fee, but I think that would be hard. I've had a few good experiences on UpWork where I hired programmers to do some improvements on the code, but invariably I received the same feedback. The application is poorly...

The short answer is that the programmer would still need to put in work figuring out how to use it. For example, the call I posted above was the result of asking the right question, inputting the correct data and reading the output (although the model does generate the associated probabilities)...

It seems like you didn’t read my entire first post on that chart because I specifically said 38-40 was a good sell coming up. That was said in real time, not after price had already dropped! And even then there was good downside potential. If I’m vague at times that’s deliberate because I don’t...
