Typical Wall Street. My favorite story from the Flash Boys book (not a recommendation) is when the guys who created a faster routine come to pitch it to Wall Street and are told that they will only invest in it if the price/fee is raised to a ridiculous amount ... Effectively only making it...

Once you start talking performance, you need to be more specific, at least for intraday strategies. Number of instruments, type of market data, number of orders, latencies, Colo, hardware, etc. Appears to me vendors are nowadays favoring to let users run strategies out of vendors own servers...

Nice site!

I was in a similar situation and found Rithmic to be the most cost effective way to start out.

Plug and play hft? I don't think so. Plug and play relatively low latency generic platform more like it.

Nowadays the two professions are becoming almost inseparatable, no? Traders must understand technology and developers, in the industry, must understand trading. With all due respect to real traders, I'm sure there are plenty of developers who would consider trading as a step down.

Sorry I meant the crypto exchange.

Hello, is anyone trading on GDAX? What's your experience as far as customer support (or whatever else you want to share)? Thank you.

Coinigy provides data from multiple exchanges. I believe most major exchanges provide their own data( Gdax)

This one sounds interesting and very relevant to ET https://www.spectre.ai/

I've coded to Rithmic API on Linux. I would recommend. Good support by competent people in my experience. Fast and stable. Found their simulator to be good as well.

Yes, you got it - more of a side project. I've been a developer in the financial industry for a very long time (don't want to date myself here :), but automated trading for about five years. Definitely agree with you - not to make a living, but maybe passive (relatively speaking) income...

Perhaps my phrasing of the question was a bit misleading. I'm the developer implementing the strategy. I have no idea if the strategy is profitable. Even if it is, I don't know how scalable it is. I am not interested in an "hourly wage." There a couple of reasons for this, but main ones are...

Hello, what do you think is a fair percent of profits to share with developer for implementing a strategy? Assuming there will be ongoing maintenance and support. Also taking into a consideration that the developer is not risking own money. Something that would be worthwhile for the developer...

I can't speak for his trading service, but I like Steve Place's approach to options trading.

Sounds to me you want to spend as little as possible to find and test a guy out before committing more money. Not unreasonable imo. My limited experience with upwork has been that people want a very well defined projects. Something they've done before, so not a lot of new development for them...

IMHO, this is one stinking trial baloon. That's probably why some smaller firms were hit but large ones like IB left alone. After all the noise these a*h*s will raise the fees by 100% and everyone will be - oh well that's more reasonable ... Thank you so much!

Well there are network costs, software development costs, etc. Given what NYSE is doing, I welcome any vendor going in this direction for whatever reason.

One suggestion I can make, that I have not heard yet, is try to learn how your broker handles stops. What exactly triggers a stop? Where does order get sent? How long is the lag? Dont assume. You can also try using OCO where one is stop limit and the second one is market stop at worse price...
