If you have a system that makes 100 millions per year, would you choose to live a life underground so that no one knows you are so rich, or go high profile so that you become a social celebrity?
the OP did not mention what kind of his system is. it could be a system barely profitable, or a great system that is why he is interested in protection.
what I concerned is employee of the brokerage house, while you were talking about the company itself. The company may not take the risk to...
we are talking about different scenarios. you are talking about average guy that makes tens of thousands per year; while i am talking about a strategy that makes tens of millions or even more.

the biggest challenge for a systematic strategy to...
agree it is not that complicate. it is just logit that more people are using the same strategy, less money can be made for each user. otherwise, do you think every one would be billionaire if James Simons publish his secret and who would lose the money to him?

so so many Day traders are consistently profitable, what do they use instead of TA? At least I know a few many money on support and resistance.
if one of your clients has a strategy that can makes 100 million dollar per year consistently with very low drawdown, I doubt the broker has no interests peeping into how the guy does it. even if the company may have no interest, how about the employee in the brokerage firm?
I guess the op builds broker dealer to save commission. this only makes sense if his own trading volume is high enough. another advantage of not trading via other broker is to protect trading systems. How high enough is the volume to worth building one's own broker? I think should be around...
glad to see you here. still puzzled how come your system is just one page code. what is the performance of your holy-grail system in the last two years?
I did not find he mentioned anything related to his holy grail method on this site. I am not to uncover his method, just curious about a general description such as trend following or reversion to mean, or chart based, etc. do you have any idea ?
