    how to protect trading strategies for a colocated server

    To clarify: we're mixing different concepts here 1) Decoding or reverse engineering a process if given the known inputs and known outputs and 2) creating a winning process from scratch. A good analogy there is the work done by NSA crypto-analytics units. You have a message intercept from the...

    how to protect trading strategies for a colocated server

    Keep in mind that if you know both the inputs used by a black box system, like price time series, and the output, a trade signal, one could use a GA set to brute force with a algo generator to reconstruct significant parts of the system. Since the possible universe of math transforms is...

    Don't be silly, Odin still rules, Look at the killing and wars done by Chriistians preaching that love thy neighbor stuff. However he welcomes all dead warriors into Valhallla.

    Federal judge allows Obama eligibility case to go forward

    That's not unexpected. ET is in theory about trading yet a huge amount of the discussion has zilch to do with any serious aspect of that in terms of methodology, technology or theory. Successful traders usually have more interesting things to do with their time, since an abundance of money...

    "If there were no God, there would be no atheists

    Song of Praise to Odin Although my bone-house was built on a fragile foundation, I got from the High One a glorious compensation: the bloody brew which the mountain hid, which dwarves made and etins owned, until the Father of the Slain cunningly won it for others. Speech-runes...

    "If there were no God, there would be no atheists

    When you say God, which one are you talking about? The Christians have an old white guy, his out of wedlock kid and a Holy Ghost The Jews aren't quite sure what they have but they call it Yahweh or something like that. The Muslims have somebody called Allah but they have no idea if it is a...

    Federal judge allows Obama eligibility case to go forward

    Sure that is theoretically possible but many things are. We could all actually be test subjects in a government run mind control project. They could have set up special DS wave generators in hundreds of locations around the country. NSA of course is monitoring every email, text message...

    how to protect trading strategies for a colocated server

    You seem to be a real expert here. When ther is a news story that shows there may be a few holes in the"gotta trust your programmer" theory, you know all about details not reported in the media. Are you a reporter? ...with GS security department? ....perhaps in local law enforcement? ..... a...

    how to protect trading strategies for a colocated server

    I can't give you any real help there...it's not my area of skill or expereince, but good luck with it. I would suggest to be on the safe side you stuff the application with a lot of dead and useless code. If it is cracked that makes it much harder to understand the design and logic, assuming...

    I am leaving this forum and a protest note

    I imagine most of your millionaire buddies got there by pretending they know someting about a topic when they actaully know nothing. I find that immensely impressive in any line of business. I rush to hire and invest with such people! Not being any good at that I'll neer be admitted to their...

    OK, thanks. My two actual Questions/Points are simply put: 1) In your estimation the maximum value of a 100% mechanical trading system, regardless of implementation, expressed any way you like with two key components: A) Monetary dimension: a number of any kind you like expressing...
