I've demonstrated this system on multiple occasions on ET. Here's the latest one this Monday. I didn't think it to be related to this disussion, but seeing such negative interest in it I figured I could show the last one which worked out quite well. Most people who talk about probabilities...

Thank you for your good comment. I don't really need to make changes or new implementations at this point as what I have is mostly working. Although it's a bit inefficient in terms of the implementation (relates mostly to speed and updating of data). I've always thought that at some point I...

Where did I say that? If you yourself spent 10 + years of research and built something unique on your own I think you would be cautious, too. It's a really dumb analogy, Noah. About as dumb as the rest of your assumptions. My system or secret sauce wasn't really the subject of this discussion.

Where did you get the idea that he will be working for free? Clearly there's an exchange of value here and the programmer knows his end of the bargain. The programmer is employed and will be doing this mostly on his free time, so I'll say it's a very low risk investment for him with a...

I already have a programmer who wants to do this, so that part is handled. He seems more than suited for the job. Funny you should mention NDA. I did get the firm who wrote the original program to sign one, but later on found that they had published my software under their Portfolio section...

Curious what the motivation behind this post is? Are you trying to be a cool guy on ET and maybe get a few likes? If I definitely can't explain it, it's very odd that the programmers I've hired over the years have been able to make a custom built program for me according to the clear...

I don't see why that's significant to what's being discussed here, so it's not a surprise to me that nobody asked that. For what purpose? I don't see why I would want to share any more details... I already explained in great detail to this programmer / aspiring trader what he can expect and...

60 hours to learn to code proficiently in C#? I've had a few professional programmers help me out with the program as I made a few upgrades and I did bring up the subject of re-writing it. The estimate I was given was about 3-4 weeks of full-time work to do so. I just have a hard time...

Hi, qlai, Without giving away all details let's just say it's a system for forecasting the market. Both pre-market and intraday. It's possible it could be automated eventually, but ultimately you're right that it does require some experience and discretion to make (good) trades. I do think...

Maybe. It's also a possibillity that this thread is a big waste of time for so many. It's interesting that a main theme of this thread is precisely along the lines of thinking for yourself and don't trusting the gurus, yet everyone seems to still be looking for some kind of answer or...

It's not a trading strategy per se, but a system or way of analyzing/understanding the market as it is through all market conditions. I call it a predictive/statistical model. But since it's only a tool it and not an automated strategy it does require a vast amount of experience and knowledge...

One could also argue that only fools make such strong categorical statements to begin with... :)

There's a lot of un-knowns for sure. I do think he's able enough as a programmer. Having some trading savvy also should help. It's also an added trust that he lives in my own country and not that far from me. Other concerns is that maybe he'll end up losing interest and will come up with some...

Sure. But if you did that in a job there would be legal ramifications and you could potentially end up in jail or sued all the way to complete bankruptcy: https://www.wired.com/2009/07/aleynikov/ I don't think it's comparable to my situation.

Actually, I'd be surprised. I have done some basic coding in VBA, but I suspect that it would take me a long time to be able to produce a model similar to what I have today on my own. It needs to import data, update data, make calculations, store it in a DB and display it in a front end. I'd be...

What do you mean by that?

Right. It's the giving it away part which for some reason is the hardest part. Some of the algorithms are quite easy in the end, but I spent a great deal amount to actually develop them. So, as I was spelling out some of the framework to better explain to this programmer I became painfully aware...

I think so, yes. He already shared me his full name and CV. I assume in order to convince me. He seems capable enough, so let's assume that part of it is okay. In my mind, I shown him a great deal of my approach already in order to let him know what it's all about and that only made him more...

What makes you confident that there is something obvious to be known in this thread which will give you an advantage in trading? I spent time going through most of this thread and I've never seen anything which suggests trading success from those who claims to know the obvious. Yet, people are...

Hello all. Long story short I have a custom trading system/program written in C# which was built to me by a professional firm over 10 years ago by now. Since the first iteration I've had subsequent upgrades up until the point where I'm mostly satisfied as it covers most bases. This is not an...
