    Anyone interested in developing a new trading platform?

    Thank you for the advice! As for the World Cup: while I'm not a fan of the footbal, this time it was fun :) Regarding Forex Simulator: the main problem isn't in the product itself or a lack of marketing ideas. I was the leader in my niche in the past and I know what to do to become the leader...

    Anyone interested in developing a new trading platform?

    You will be surprised, but the downtime of my kitchen server was almost the same as my hetzner server and S3 storage in the last few years, taking into account various power outages and problems in all these places. I'm absolutely serious. In my 20+ years of business my "safely hosted servers"...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    Just got a great idea which can solve the problem without me losing the business. I decided to look for a partner who will do marketing and sales. Somebody with a great experience in the niche, maybe even customers or subscribers. This way I will be able to focus on product development and...

    Anyone interested in developing a new trading platform?

    I decided to give up on trading after developing full-featured Forex Simulator software. It may be a good start for a new trading platform. It's fast and visually attractive, it has great charting, indicators and drawing tools, as well as simulated order execution engine. It will not be hard to...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    An important update to the previous post: I've made the final decision. You may not support me, but I decided to sell the business and move to some other niche, not related to trading. Something like b2b, where I was good in the past, until my last business died of natural causes. Here is the...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    Forex Simulator - yet another backtesting and training software, my attempt to develop a virtual assistant to become a profitable trader by myself. You can find the link in my profile. What problems does it solve? It's funny because it still didn't solve the core problem (profitable trading)...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    I support you and wish you luck with all my heart! Being at the middle (end?) of this journey, I can share my timeline for fun and warning: 2013: "I'm getting tired of my old business..." 2014: "I'm tired of my old business." 2015: "I'm really tired of my old business!" December 2016: "It's...

    Best programming language for trading?

    I see people recommending C#. I absolutely agree with them, just want to add more specifics: 1. You will get more luck looking for a job if you stick to Microsoft technologies, like it or not. Corporate/finance mostly use MS products, they have tons of legacy code to support and dozens of...

    Is backtesting simply simulated trades on historic data?

    Being a programmer, too, I can give some advice here: 1. Look for tick data, don't try to backtest a strategy on something like M1. Yes, it may be slower but you will get more precise results at the end. Use next tick order execution, don't rely on the current tick. It may be even better to...
