The logic of the programming thief is flawed. Most programmers don't trade. Just like system vendors, they know you can make more money building and selling your services than actually trading. Also, you don't need to reveal your actual trading system to the programmer. Use dummy...

Did you back-test your system? Make sure your strategy is profitable before paying to have it implemented. Do you know what platform you are working with? Real-time data feed? etc. Before contacting a programmer, write a spec of your system. You don't need to include your exact trading...

Do you trade the pre/post market session? Other than news days, most markets (98%?) are illiquid and basically not tradable for any use other than academic. Unless you actually are one of the few to trade the off-session times, I wouldn't worry about including outlier data in your testing...

Anyone know where I can find a complete/up-to-date list of active ETFs? Hopefully a list that is maintained and updated when ETFs are introduced or dropped. I have been building my own list by going to the various fund sites and the lists on morningstar and yahoo finance are not up-to-date.
